Makuach Athian Youths association in Juba

statement from the office of steering committee nominated by general assembly.

To refute and response the baseless trick and politicised statement from Deng Koor Athian and his group.

The steering committee is hereby to refute the claimed made by Deng Koor Athian in Your voice news in south Sudan that he is legitimate chairperson which is white lies, because his term limit elapsed since February/ 24 2022 and he is no longer legitimate chairperson and that led general assembly of MAYA to nominated the steering committee with legitimate chairperson of committee which is Ateny Kuol mawien.

Deng koor stated that general assembly is illegal to formed the steering committee, However, the same general assembly was the one who selected him as chairperson that means his being in leadership was illegal.

General assembly has right to terminated the legitimacy of chairperson and his executive when they misbehaved even though their term limit still not ended, Therefore general assembly has terminated the legitimacy of Deng Koor his leadership by:

1 by turning down the called from general assembly to attend consultation meeting.
2 His legitimacy was terminated due to delayed of handing over the leadership.
3 He was terminated by calling general assembly as rebel.

Steering committee will also response to MAYA page.

To response paragraph one, which stated that the legitimate nominated steering committee by general assembly is unlawful, However the general assembly mandated Deng Koor Athian to be legitimate chairperson for only 24 months of which he failed to respected the term limits and constitutions of MAYA and he stayed in leadership for five years without activities.

His failure to respected the term limits led general assembly to withdraw his legitimacy as chairperson of MAYA and general assembly selected the New legitimate steering committee to facilitate the fair and credible election.

Paragraph two stated that ,"they are preparing to conduct the peacefully and credible election which is white lies because the secretary general Kuol kuol Mathiang State that the account of Makuac Athian Youths association in juba is empty which made it difficult to Deng Koor Athian to handover the leadership that made his claimed as empty promise.

Our position as steering committee is to take over the association documents and assets from Deng Koor Athian and his group and we will conduct fair and credible election for the contesting candidates within the time given to us by general assembly.

Hon. Stephen Lual: South Sudan’s sovereignty is a red line that must never be crossed

Hon. Stephen Lual Ngor, a Member of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly and a senior member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, has strongly condemned recent remarks by Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of Uganda’s president and commander of the Ugandan army, calling them provocative, reckless, and a direct affront to South Sudan’s sovereignty.

In a statement issued on Thursday, MP Lual described Muhoozi’s comments as “a blatant violation of our national sovereignty, a grave insult to the dignity of our people, and an unacceptable attack on the honour of the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces.”

“The sovereignty of the Republic of South Sudan is a red line that must not be crossed,” Lual declared. “We will not allow any encroachment, in word or deed, under any circumstance.”

He emphasised that South Sudan is a fully sovereign nation whose independence was earned through immense sacrifice, and that the country would never tolerate external interference or disrespect directed at its sovereign institutions.

“Any attempt to belittle the South Sudanese army is a dangerous provocation that will not go unanswered. We will respond firmly and with the dignity our people and our soil deserve,” he warned.

Lual reaffirmed his full support for the political leadership under President Salva Kiir Mayardit and expressed unwavering confidence in the capability of the SSPDF to defend the nation’s land and dignity.

While acknowledging the long-standing relationship between South Sudan and Uganda, he cautioned that those ties must be built on mutual respect.

“Historical ties with Uganda do not give anyone a license to threaten our sovereignty or violate the principles of good neighbourliness,” Lual said.

He concluded with a strong message of defiance and national pride:

“South Sudan is not governed from abroad. No one will dictate our path. We are a free, proud, and sovereign nation — guided by our leadership, protected by our people, and defended by our army.”

Important information

To whom it may concerned

This note serves to inform the public that the person in the below pictures had just arrived to NBGS territory two days ago with hidden agenda and later on got disappeared for the best reason known by him only.

It was on Tuesday morning this week while on our normal duties at NBGS SPLM Secretariats premises when this young man entered the compound at 8:15 AM. He came and start greeting all of us while carrying the bag on his shoulder. After greeting, he set on the chair humbly and immediately requested us to give him a chance to say something. In that process, we we cut off our conversation and start listening to his concern because he was new to all of us.

The first word he released while preparing to introduce himself to us was this and i quote.

"I'm very lucky to arrived successfully to my ancestors land"

Here is his full story

My name is Garang Lual Garang and am looking for my relatives. My father's name is Lual Garang from Malek-Alel and my mother is called Abuk Deng Deng from Akuak Ayat. I came last night from Juba. I grew up in Lakes State particularly in a section called Gok Arol Kachuol of Chuei Bet County knowing that i was son of a man called Mayen Machol Bol. unfortunately, i found out that i was just an adapted child and that he was not my biological father. I got this information last month while preparing to get marriage. My step brothers insulted me badly that "yin tuong saakit" After hearing this, i was hungry and went to my father Mayen Machol and asked him to saw me my father if am not his son. Mayendit told me to come back to him in the morning.

In the morning, i came to him asking the same question because i was not in the mood. Mayendit said, Garang, you are not my biological child of cause, and i was trying by all means to owned you as my child but unfortunately your step brothers got envy of you which i have no any other option now then to tell you your real father. Mayendit continued and said to me:

Your father was my colleague in the army at Tuek-Tuek battalion and he was killed in 1991 between Pibor and Bor during the first rebellion of Dr Riek Machar. His name was Lual Garang from Malek-Alel in Aweil and i do not know his clan. Your mother was also killed in the same year and i just came back from Bor and found you crying on the floor sucking your dead mom. This is where i have taken you under my care and responsibility. The name of your mother was called Abuk Deng Deng from Akuak Ayat in Aweil and i don‘t know her clan too. Mayendit concluded.

I said okay, if that‘s the case then, i will go to Aweil to search for my relatives and immediately stood up, picked my bag and went to Juba to consult my colleagues from Aweil whom we are together in the army, department of (CMI) whether they know my late father Lual Garang but nobody gave me good information and this is where i decided to come here. I am looking for my relatives. He concludes.

After we listened to this story, some of us got some tears rolling down on the chests with big heart broken. All we have decided to do now as a party before doing any other process is to take him for lunch and find a room for accommodation in any of the hotels. Of cause we booked a room at New Nation Hotel in Aweil town and i was told to take him to the hotel. We went there and the manager shown us the room and handed over the keys to him. He entered the room and we gave him some money (50,000 SSP) as his pocket money and asked him to come back to the SPLM house in the morning.

Of cause, he came yesterday in the morning and we are about to start our process now. One of the Comrades asked Mr Garang Lual Garang to present his national ID, academy documents, military ID and other documents if there‘s any. In his response, he said i have leaved all my documents to Juba. We said okay now, may you kindly give us the phone number of Mayendit Machol so that we talk to him? He said, i have leave my phone on charging but i will go to bring it out now. He got up and went out like somebody who was just going to collect the phone and come back. Since yesterday up to now, he is nowhere to be seen and we are still waiting for the lost son.

Therefore, the SPLM Secretariats of NBGS would would like to inform the public and the security organs to help us find this young man whether he is still in NBGS territory or he crossed out to our bordering states like Warrap, Wau or Lakes as well. People of Lakes State can also help us identify this person in the picture whether he really owned the names he mentioned above or not including those who may know him.
