BREAKING NEWS: Hon. Nhial Deng Nhial Announces Formation of the South Sudan Salvation Movement (SSSM)

Juba, South Sudan — October 15, 2025:
Hon. Nhial Deng Nhial, one of South Sudan’s most prominent political figures and a veteran member of the ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), has officially announced the formation of a new political party, the South Sudan Salvation Movement (SSSM).

In an 18-page declaration shared with the media, Nhial said the new party will focus on “restoring national unity, accountability, and good governance,” accusing the SPLM leadership of straying from the founding vision that inspired South Sudan’s independence struggle.

“Our nation stands at a crossroads,” Nhial stated in the declaration. “The SPLM has lost its moral compass. The people of South Sudan deserve a movement that prioritizes peace, justice, and prosperity over personal power and corruption.”

The formation of the SSSM marks a major turning point in South Sudan’s political landscape. Nhial, once regarded as one of President Salva Kiir’s most trusted allies and a key architect of the country’s foreign policy, now positions himself as a reformist voice seeking to redefine South Sudan’s governance.

Political analysts suggest that Nhial’s move could attract reform-minded SPLM members, civil society figures, and disillusioned youth who feel excluded from the nation’s political process.

Nhial’s declaration comes amid rising internal tensions within the SPLM and growing public frustration over the slow implementation of the peace agreement and continued economic hardships.

The South Sudan Salvation Movement (SSSM), according to Nhial, will serve as a “platform of hope and renewal, dedicated to building a just, peaceful, and united South Sudan.”

ARMY DENIES REPORTED TENSION IN BILPHAM

The South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) have refuted online claims suggesting that Military Intelligence (MI) Chief, General Stephen Marshall, was suspended by the Chief of Defense Forces, General Santino Deng Wol.

According to the circulating rumors, tensions allegedly arose near the military headquarters in Bilpam and the Newsite residential areas after General Marshall reportedly defied an order suspending him in connection with an attempted assassination of former spymaster, General Akol Koor Kuc.

However, SSPDF spokesperson, Maj. Gen. L*l Ruai Koang, dismissed the reports as entirely fabricated.

“General Stephen Marshall has neither been suspended nor detained. Moreover, there is no tension in Newsite or Bilpam related to this baseless claim. These are unfounded rumors being spread by individuals seeking to incite chaos,” Koang clarified during an interview with this outlet.

The allegations emerged shortly after heavy gunfire erupted in Juba last Thursday night, resulting in the deaths of four individuals, including two soldiers and two civilians.
