Salva Kiir's hateful heart longs to publicly humiliate Dr Riek Machar!

James Gatdet Dak Lampuar September 20, 2025 Salva Kiir on Monday, September 22, 2025, will make sure that all local, regional and international media outlets are invited to mockingly cover arraignment and parading of H.E. Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon, in the kangaroo court in Juba, and the reading of all the politically motivated and fabricated charges against him. This will make Salva Kiir's hateful heart happy, at least temporarily.  But, the Dr. Riek Machar I know will instead pity Salva Kiir, and those who ill-advised Kiir,  for destroying the 'last' peace agreement between them in the country. The arraignment in the court will also include the 7 other political detainees from Dr. Riek Machar's SPLM-IO Party, namely Cde Puot Kang Chuol, Cde Gabriel Duop Lam, Cde Gatwech Lam Puoch, Cde Camilo Gatmai Kel, Cde Mam Pal Dhuor, Cde Mading Riek Yak, and Cde Dominic Gatgok Riek.

‎SSPDF Recaptures Nasir Without Resistance, Army Chief Visits Troops


Gen. Paul Nang Majok, Army Chief. 


‎South Sudan’s national army, the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF), has successfully retaken control of the strategic town of Nasir without encountering resistance, marking a significant shift in the ongoing security crisis in Upper Nile State.

‎General Paul Nang Majok, the Chief of Defense Forces, made a high profile visit to the town shortly after its recapture. His visit aimed to boost troop morale and signal the government’s firm commitment to stabilizing areas previously overrun by armed youth militias.

‎Nasir, located near the Ethiopian border, had been under the control of the White Army a loosely organized group of armed Nuer youth since early March. The occupation followed intense clashes that resulted in the killing of Gen. David Majur Dak, the local SSPDF commander.

‎According to military sources, the White Army withdrew from Nasir before the army’s arrival, allowing the SSPDF to retake the town without combat. 

‎However, reports indicate that prior to reaching Nasir, government forces faced ambush attempts and responded with airstrikes, particularly in Thuluc village, where 17 people were reportedly killed.

‎The recapture of Nasir comes amid increased political tension in Juba. First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar remains under house arrest after accusations that he supported the White Army's advance claims his SPLM-IO party has strongly denied.

‎Nasir holds symbolic importance in South Sudan’s history, being the birthplace of the 1991 Nasir Declaration that split the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement. 

‎Its recapture is seen as a strategic victory for the Kiir administration, but fears remain that violence could flare up again if peace efforts do not gain momentum.

‎Local residents are calling for urgent humanitarian aid and protection as the town returns to government hands. 

‎Community leaders warn that unless the root causes of youth militarization and political division are addressed, the cycle of conflict will continue.
