has dismissed claims that he joined rebellion.

Oyai Deng Ajak
General Oyai Deng Ajak, a senior member of the country’s ruling party,
described these allegations as false.
"When the time comes, I will make it public to [South] Sudanese
people," he said in an audio shared on Facebook.
The former army chief, however, hinted on the possibilities of taking
up arms against President Salva Kiir’s government.
South Sudan presidential spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny claimed on Thursday
that Ajak had joined ex-First Vice President Riek Machar’s rebel
faction as the chief of staff.
Ateny could not back up his allegations, but a document said to have
been signed by Machar to acknowledge Ajak’s appointment was disowned
by the armed opposition.
However, in a separate interview held with the Australian-based Dinka
language SBS radio, Ajak said he remains an member of the country’s
former political detainees.
Ajak was detained at the onset of the South Sudanese conflict in
mid-December 2013, along dozen others and charged with treasons by the
government. The charges were dropped after pressure mounted on
president Kiir’s government. The former army chief has since not
returned to Juba, despite the peace accord signed in August 2015.

Gen. Oyai Deng was already rebel since the begin of Dec 15, 2013
crisis. The crisis engineers in his resident in Juba before the eve.
However, former detainees and Riek Machar rebellions are birds of the
same feathers. No good Cholo unless death one.

Mr. Akuma or whatever you call yourself,your useless comments
on this media do not make sense at all.
Yes,Riek and Oyai are the birds of the same feathers as you
have stressed earlier.However,their contribution to South Sudanese
citizens will never be forgotten even during the 21 years of civil war
with the North.

Akuma you right but only men can declare themselves in this
kind of war women can not. If general denies the accusations maybe
ateny is wrong. To assure Ateny no blame if there are some loss goat
who to dog they may came back with bruises in their body

I think fabricating liars is what remain the only option in
the government side.Do you expect Simon Gatwech Dual to join you if he
is removed from his position?
If it is not so,don’t waste your time to talk about what we
are doing in our movement.Simon Gatwech Dual off-course will be
removed after Malong goes to grave.
