The arrival of SPLA-IO Chief of staff has paved ways for Machar’s imminent return, however, the exact time and dates are yet to be communicated.

Machar, South Sudan’s former vice president, has been expected to arrive in the capital since April 18th, however, the two warring parties could not agree on the number of troops and size of weapons SPLM/SPLA-IO should have in Juba.

Hello Lt General chief staffs of SPLM/IO, Simon Gatwech Dual , I would like to say your congratulations on your strong promises on returning to fearful city of Juba. You must always keep your promises as you demonstrated today to all South Sudanese. We hope your arrival will pave the ways for peace to reaches at its pinnacle. It should be the movement in which the world was longing for in order to resolve this sporadic conditions in country. Let’s see what the U.S and his allies going to say again about rebel, the word that always sounds like un English word. Those who are called rebels,they seem like criminals individuals without their right to be recognized no matter what happens. Iam sorry for the shameful treatment Nuer went through with name rebel while Kiir tried his best to crush them with help of U.S who paid Ugandan troops to exterminated our tribe. Please let’s prays diligently to God to be only our advocate as well as intercede dedicated for us in heaven.
