SPLM-IO says Minister of Peace Building Stephen Par Kuol arrested

The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) has claimed that Minister of Peace Building Stephen Par Kuol was arrested on Wednesday afternoon by the National Security Service (NSS).

According to a statement from First Vice President Riek Machar’s spokesperson, Stephen Par, who is also the Secretary General of the National Transitional Committee (NTC), was taken into custody, though the government has yet to confirm his arrest.

He is the third senior SPLM-IO official to be detained this week following violent clashes in Nasir, Upper Nile State, between South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) and SPLM-IO allied militias.

Other detained officials include Minister of Petroleum Puot Kang and SPLM-IO/A military chief Gen. Duop Lam, who also serves as the SSPDF Deputy Chief of Defense Forces (CDF).

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, government spokesperson Michael Makuei confirmed the arrests of SPLM-IO officials, stating they were in “conflict with the law.”

Kiir forms committee to investigate last week’s deadly shootout at Akol Koor’s residence

President Salva Kiir has formed a military committee to investigate last week’s fatal shootout at the residence of Akol Koor, the former Director General of the Internal Security Bureau, in Thongpiny, Juba. The incident, which resulted in several fatalities and injuries, has raised public alarm and calls for accountability.

The committee is chaired by Lt. Gen. James Koang Chuol, with Maj. Gen. Deng Akol Wek serving as deputy chairman. Other members include Maj. Gen. Chinram Machar Chol, Brig. Gen. Deng Mabior Deng, who will act as secretary, and Col. Patrick Lumumba.

The committee has been tasked with uncovering the circumstances that led to the shootout. It will summon and interview officers and witnesses as necessary and has the authority to issue arrest warrants for individuals who refuse to cooperate without valid justification. The committee will also request and review documents relevant to the investigation, assess casualties and injuries among security personnel and civilians, and evaluate any damage to property and the environment.

President Kiir has directed the committee to submit its findings and recommendations within two weeks. The investigation is seen as a crucial step toward ensuring justice and maintaining public trust in the country’s security institutions.

"I don’t want to blame or whatsoever but we played against Basketball players [South Sudan players] – five, six players of two meters tall. If you are going to play on the 16, you ask for trouble because all the long balls comes. And then you receive a goal and then it’s double difficult to win the game." - Hugo Broos, South Africa coach
