Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai, SSPDF Spokesperson said that, the unified forces will be deployed after the middle command of the army has been restricted and unified. 

According to the 2018 Peace Agreement, deployment of unified forces was part of the program, which help quell a five year deadly civil war in which nearly half a million people lost their lives, this forced the two parties to creat power sharing mechanism. 

While speaking to the media, Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai said that, the delay in deploying the Unified forces was due to the ongoing process of unifying the the middle command. 

“You know there were several steps that were to be taken in sequential order. They have to unify the middle command before they can embark on the deployment of the Necessary Unified Forces and unification of the middle command is a work in progress,” he said. “The main parties to the agreement have worked out the positions to be shared.  The principals had also been asked to submit the lists of the officers to occupy the different ranks or positions identified. Once the lists are submitted, a republican order will be for the ranks to be confirmed in the SSPDF.” Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang. 

“Once that has occurred, then the unified force will be deployed.” Maj. Gen. Ruai added.

Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, SSPDF Spokesperson said that he is expecting the whole process to end in the month of April.

“The process is ongoing and will hopefully be completed by the end of April. We are focusing on the Necessary Unified Forces that have been at the training centers for the last three years,” he explained. “The ones that have been in cantonment areas and I barracks will come in the second phase once the ones who graduated have been deployed.” Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai said.
