In an exclusive interview in Nairobi, a former South Sudan Liberation Army general and ex-political detainee have said they are ready to put on their uniforms and force President Kiir from power “soon”.
“We are talking to various SPLA officers from all communities and Salva is going to be shocked very soon," former SPLA chief of staff Gen Oyay Deng Ajak declared.
The Ajak group whose members he did not disclose accuses South Sudan, President Kiir of tribalism, destroying the ruling party SPLM, the SPLA army, the police, and running down the country.
"And no peace talks that will work with Salva again. So the only option left to us is to fight him. We are planning, we are organizing and we are ready,” Gen Ajak said.
South Sudan Ambassador Chol Ajongo did not respond to a request for comment on the claims.
Ajak who served as Minister of Investment and later National Security was among 11 senior government officials who were accused of planning a coup against President Kiir on December 15, 2013.
They were arrested and detained for 6 months until President Uhuru Kenyatta secured their freedom in a deal with President Salva Kiir under the auspices of IGAD.
