Top Opposition General Joins Government Forces in South Sudan




‎A senior opposition army officer has left his group and joined the government army in South Sudan. Brigadier General Adnan Alex Boboya, who was part of the SPLA-IO (the main opposition army), said he has decided to support peace and work with the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF), which is the national army.

‎Speaking in Yei River County, Gen. Boboya said, “I am doing this for the good of my people and my country. It is time for peace. We, as soldiers, should protect our communities, not fight them.”

‎Government army leaders welcomed him and encouraged other opposition fighters to stop fighting and talk about peace.

‎This comes just days after over 600 SPLA-IO soldiers also joined the government side.

‎But some people are worried that these changes could cause more problems for the peace agreement signed in 2018 between President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar. 

‎There are also reports that Riek Machar is being kept at home and not allowed to move freely.

‎Many South Sudanese are hoping these changes will lead to peace and unity, especially with elections expected soon.
