Major General Lul Ruai Koang, the Director for Defense Media & Publicity who also serves as the SSPDF Spokesperson at SSPDF GHQs-Bilpam, has made a declaration that the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) shall consolidate 139 Generals into its ranks.

From the aforementioned count, 106 Major Generals and Brigadier Generals, with an unidentified number, are designated to come from SPLM/SPLA-IO while 33 are to come from SSOA.

As per the spokeswoman, granting positions to the SSPDF’s Opposition Commander is to pave the way for the deployment of the NUF.
