In a presidential decree read on the state-owned South Sudan Television, Kiir relieved all the deputies of the Chief of General Staff in the army and replaced them with new promoted officers.

The deputies to the General Chief of Staff of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) who were dismissed include Lt. Gen. Obuto Mamur, Lt. Gen. Biar Atem Ajang, Lt. Gen. Pieng Deng Kuol, Lt. Gen. Ayuen Alier Jongror, Lt. Gen. Wilson Deng Kuoirot and Lt. Gen. Kuol Deim Kuol.

The generals were also removed from the active membership of the army and put on reserve.

In a separate decree, Kiir also promoted a number of officers from the rank of Major General to the rank of Lieutenant General and appointed them as new deputies to the General Chief-of-Staff, Lt. Gen. James Hoth Mai.

The new deputies include Lt. Gen. Thomas Cirino Swaka, deputy chief of general staff for training Lt. Gen. James Ajongo Mawut, deputy for operations Lt. Gen. Malek Ruben Riak, deputy for logistics Lt. Gen. Malual Ayom Dor, deputy for administration Lt. Gen. Mangar Buong Aluel, deputy for inspection Lt. Gen. Chol Thon Balok and deputy chief of general staff for moral and orientation.

The president also put three senior officers in charge of the army sectors in the three greater regions of Bahr el Ghazal, Upper Nile and Equatoria. These include Lt. Gen. Gabriel Jok Riak in charge of Sector One (Wau), Lt. Gen. Johnson Gony Biliu for Sector Two (Malakal) and Lt. Gen. Charles Lam Chol in charge of Sector Three (Torit) respectively.

The SPLA’s commander-in-chief also removed the following major generals from active army service and put them on reserve list, including: Maj. Gen. Faustino Jada, Maj. Gen. Elia Waya Nyipuoch, Maj. Gen. Louis Aliandro Paul, Maj. Gen. Dr. Henry Makeng, Maj. Gen. Dr. Akol Ding Duot, Maj. Gen. Peter Bol Kong, Maj. Gen. Peter Yich Biet, Maj. Gen. James Gatduel Gatluak, Maj. Gen. Salva Chol Ayak, Maj. Gen. Matur Chol Juot, Maj. Gen. John Mayik Jou, Maj. Gen. Andrea Dominic, Maj. Gen. Peter Parnyang, Maj. Gen. Dau Atur Jongnyuon, Maj. Gen. Kout Akot Bol, Maj. Gen. Kichener Mota, Maj. Gen. Gatwech Dual, Maj. Gen. Samuel Mayik Machar, Maj. Gen. James Othou Adong, Maj. Gen. Peter Dor Majur, Maj. Gen. John Bol Then, Maj. Gen. Saddam Chayout Manyang, Maj. Gen. John Macham Atem, Maj. Gen. Thomas Tot Bangoang, Maj. Gen. Elia Ladu Soro, Maj. Gen. Abraham Jok Aring, Maj. Gen. Garang Akok Adut, Maj. Gen. Garang Bol Panger and Maj. Gen. Michael Nhialkot Deng.

The move came as a surprise as the army is in the process of transformation while trying to resolve border disputes with the neighbouring army of Sudan. The changes also came as the south-ruling party (SPLM) prepares for an extraordinary convention towards the end of February.

        Removal of Lt. Gen. Obuto Mamur and some Generals was uncalled for, i don`t know what Mr president is up to! How can he remove the brave men who have been defending our nation from the faceless Arabs? The best thing he could do was to redeploy them at other divisions withing the country or send them for further training. MAUMAU

          It is clear that some of our top leaders run to Kampala in order to get ill-advices from dictator Yoweri Museveni on how to conduct internal affairs in South Sudan. They should be careful because Museveni is a cunning friend who helps in digging graves. Why abrupt change now in the army? Is there something fishy going on??? The best courageous generals are removed from active duty. What a nation!

                        Stop messing with me. If it is true that you are a general in the SPLA, then South Sudan will collapse if a person of your type is really close to the president. First you are tribalistic and there is no way you can run a multi-tribal country as a Dinka Dominated Country as your name suggests. Send me your email because I want to send you a private message.

Stop reinstating those generals again in certain position because you cann’t remove a tick from the cow and place in on another cow. 2. Remove governor such as Koul Manyang of Jonglei who become headache to the people, Taban Deng gai, and Paul Malong, then you are all set Mr. President with full power like any other head of state.

      The President wanted to impose himself to be the chairman of the SPLM party coming extraordinary SPLM convention in February 2013, so realizing big opposition within, then, by retiring generals is one way to maintain statusquo, so, these newly promoted generals will serve his loyalty.

Though I like President Kiir from the bottom of my heart, but this time if he refuses to let someone run the party, then I will turn stones become humans and challenge his kingdom. Otherwise, retiring these generals is good including himself [President] and relinquishes power to someone, so we breathe out a fresh air!

        I respect and support the law more than anything. If certain people make mistakes and you have evidences, tell the public and take them to court for punishment. If you don’t do that, then it is difficult for the public to know exactly the basis why people are retired from army. It is a recipe for disaster if you leave the public to guess the answers for the why question.

    As usual, SUDAN TRIBUNE is trying to twist a simple reshuffling in the SSAF and turn it into a big news. South Sudanese, we should not trust a lame news organization that is trying to sow insecurity in our country. Any army undergoes changes to promote younger officer corps. Nothing unusual about the step the C-in-C Kiir announced today.

      Akolde,
      I absolutely agree with you. Obuto Mamur loves his job as a professional officer. We know his military feats and his dedication to the defense of South Sudan when SPLA went through thick and thin. Yet if the President means real reforms within our armed forces, then there is no any sacred cow that he should leave untouched. We may see some benefits of reforms if done in national interest.

      Thanks for your comments, all the move made by yesterdays’ decree are welcomed.... but Obutu Mamur was a man in the right place. where the president is going to put him is not right place for him, he doesn’t want politics and his right place is army. anyway lets anticipate the reforms.

        I agree with you. Mamur’s life befits the army. Civilian life is unsuitable because he loves to challenge the jalaba. During the fighting in Panthou, he was so bitter against the withdrawal. I think, the Pr. is consolidating his authoritarian powers to intimidate the young guns. Let’s see. He is grooming John Luk as SG. this guy crafted a clause in the Cns to protect Kiir

            Madiak,
            How do you hear bad backgrounds of people? Does it come from the rotten tribal security agents operating in Juba? Their intelligence is not trust worthy, because they have been providing false rumors of coup plots and they fail to provide evidence or take those accused of it to court. Indeed, I support the punishment of anyone found plotting coup or those who provide fake coup news

            Term limit? Are you kidding? Don’t you know that most African leaders are or have become Presidents-for-life, even with limits enshrined in Constitutions? Look at Kagame, Museveni, Kabila, Aferworki,late Zenawi,Yayha, Gnasingbe,Bashir, ailing Mubarak,Derby, Biya, etc. Tell them about term limits and you ensure either outright elimination or trumped-up charges lending you a prison term.

              EES King Maker,
              There is a difference between S. Sudan and rest of the countries you mentioned. South Sudan is very tribal with arms everywhere. We are doomed if one person rule for live. Is that a kingdom? And why did we wage war against the north? Wasn’t it because we weren’t allow to rule? What will other tribes do if Dinka rule forever? Rebellion? Of course one can rule, but with no peace.

    It may be a good move especially when cutting down the number of generals in the army. Financially, it does not make much difference because there is no pension so they retain their monthly salaries probably with no allowances.I believe there are many deputies. 3 would do.
    I guess the word ’reserve’ means ’retiring’ in Dr Kiir’s political vocabulary. It is a polite way of telling them ’go home’.
