SPLM-IO Condemns Violations On Peace Agreement By President Kiir, Calls For The President To Revoke The Presidential Decree Relieving SPLM-IO Defence Minister And Veteran Affairs

-

The SPLM (IO) Political Bureau in an extraordinary meeting today, Saturday, 4th March, 2023, passed resolutions that condemn violations of the peace agreement by President Salva Kiir Mayardit, and call on him to revoke the Presidential decrees that unilaterally relieved Minister of Defense and Veterans Affairs and swapped ministries. Details in the statement shared below.


The Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition, also known as the anti-governmental forces, is a mainly South Sudanese political party and rebel group that split from the Sudan People's Liberation


Dr. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon (born 26 November 1952) is a South Sudanese politician who serves as the First Vice President of South Sudan.


Following the independence of South Sudan, Machar was the vice president of the country. In 2012, he publicly apologized for his part in the Bor massacre as he prepared to pave way for taking the helm of SPLM.[34]


By February 2013 Machar publicly stated his intentions to challenge President Kiir. In July 2013, he, and the entire cabinet, was dismissed from office. Machar said that Kiir's move was a step towards dictatorship. These events in turn led to the South Sudanese Civil War.
