أكبر انشقاق عسكري منذ سنوات... أكثر من 2000 جندي من المعارضة ينضمون إلى الجيش الحكومي في غرب بحر الغزال _______________________

شهدت ولاية غرب بحر الغزال يوم الأربعاء حدثًا عسكريًا بارزًا تمثّل في انشقاق 2,171 جنديًا من قوات الجيش الشعبي لتحرير السودان في المعارضة في مقاطعة نهر الجور، وانضمامهم رسميًا إلى قوات دفاع شعب جنوب السودان.

ويُعد هذا الانشقاق الأكبر من نوعه في المقاطعة منذ توقيع اتفاق السلام، وجاء بعد اشتباكات محدودة الأسبوع الماضي بين القوات الحكومية وعناصر من المعارضة المسلحة. وأكدت مصادر محلية أن هذه الخطوة تقلص الوجود العسكري للمعارضة في الولاية بشكل ملحوظ.

وخلال مراسم استقبال القوات المنضمة في قاعدة قرنتي العسكرية بمدينة واو، رحّب اللواء جيل منقوك يل، قائد الفرقة الخامسة مشاة بالجيش الحكومي، بالمنشقين قائلًا: "يسعدني اليوم أن أرحب بإخواننا من مقاطعة نهر الجور الذين اختاروا السلام وانضموا إلى قوات الدفاع الشعبي، وهذه علامة واضحة على أن الأمن يعود تدريجيًا إلى المنطقة."

وأضاف منقوك أن انعدام الأمن كان يعرقل إيصال الخدمات الأساسية إلى المواطنين، مشيرًا إلى أن انضمام هذه القوات سيساهم في تحسين الاستقرار وتمكين الحكومة والمنظمات من العمل بحرية أكبر. كما دعا المنضمين الجدد إلى التحلي بالانضباط العسكري والالتزام بأوامر القيادة.

وأشار إلى أن القيادة العامة في جوبا تعمل على دمج هذه القوات في صفوف الجيش الوطني مع الحفاظ على رتبهم ومواقعهم القيادية.

من جانبه، أشاد نائب حاكم الولاية زكريا جوزيف قرنق بقرار الانضمام، معتبرًا أنه خطوة مهمة نحو تحقيق السلام الدائم، قائلاً:

> "بلادنا بحاجة إلى جيش واحد يوحّدها، وانضمامكم اليوم رسالة واضحة بأن صفحة الانقسام قد طُويت في نهر الجور."

وأضاف قرنق أن الحكومة تواصل التواصل مع العناصر المتبقية في المعسكرات السابقة لحثهم على العودة والانضمام إلى زملائهم.

ويقود المجموعة المنضمة عدد من كبار القادة العسكريين، من بينهم اللواء لينو أورايا مادوت، واللواء سانتينو بونق بول، واللواء جيمس بينيي مادوت، واللواء سانتينو نييّو مكير، واللواء سانتينو أمور ماجوك، واللواء بولينو مادوت، وينحدر معظمهم من مناطق روك روك دونق، وكواجينا، وألور، حيث كانت تتمركز الفرقة السادسة (أ) التابعة لقوات المعارضة.
