For Immediately Press Release
I am writing to express profound sorrow over the killing of innocent civilians by the SPLM-IO faction led by Riek Machar, which we strongly condemn as a terrorist organization. Specifically, we hold Riek Machar, currently under house arrest in Juba, South Sudan, responsible for the inhumane killings that occurred yesterday in the Jebel Mining area. These atrocities were allegedly carried out in collaboration with the National Salvation Front, led by General Thomas Cirillo. We also condemn the inhumane actions and human rights abuses perpetrated by the SPLM-IO under the acting chairmanship of Nathaniel Oyet, who is presently visiting the United States.
The international community must unequivocally condemn these acts of terror and work towards ensuring justice and accountability for the victims. Yesterday's attack resulted in the loss of 87 lives, including women and children. One young man was brutally beaten to death, and his eyes were gouged out. We urge the world and international organizations, including the United Nations, European Union, African Union, and the Troika members (Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States), to take immediate action to prevent another genocide in Africa.
We strongly believe that Riek Machar and the National Salvation Front pose a significant threat to the country, potentially leading to genocide. In light of this, we appeal for the South Sudan General Election on December 22, 2026, to be considered a viable solution to end the conflict and usher in ethical governance.
On behalf of the people of South Sudan, I, Bol G*i Deng, and the leadership of the Kush Democratic Majority Party, are prepared to participate in the upcoming general election to bring an end to the suffering of innocent civilians, particularly women and children.
Sincerely,
Bol G*i Deng,
President Candidate for South Sudan, [email protected].
