Former National Security General Akech Tong Aleu Accuses Government Officials of Tribal Militarization

By John Ador Garang

In a startling revelation that has sent shockwaves through political and military circles, former Director of South Sudan’s National Security Service – Internal Security Bureau, General Akech Tong Aleu, has come forward with grave accusations against senior government officials, implicating them in a deliberate campaign to militarize civilians along tribal lines and sabotage peace efforts in the country.

General Akech accused Hon. Chol Thon Balok and Gen. Paul Nang of supplying arms to civilians in Jonglei and Upper Nile, specifically favoring individuals from the Dinka community. According to him, the intention is not to promote local security, but rather to prepare ethnically aligned militias under the guise of self-defense, thereby threatening national cohesion and undermining the 2018 Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS).

“The ongoing war was initiated by the Government of South Sudan purposely to destroy the R-ARCSS period,” said Akech in a strongly-worded statement. “But they keep lying that it was the First Vice President, Dr. Riek Machar Teny. How can someone who is still part of your government initiate a war unless you are a coward working undercover?”

General Akech’s allegations go further. He claimed that the National Security Service, the very institution he once helped lead, is now dangerously imbalanced. “I can confess that National Security is 95% Dinka. How can we form an inclusive and effective force that represents all 64 tribes if only one tribe is deliberately allowed to dominate it?”

His remarks cast a harsh light on the structural inequalities that have long plagued South Sudan’s security apparatus. The principle of power-sharing, a cornerstone of the R-ARCSS, seems to be eroding under the weight of tribal favoritism and political manipulation. Akech emphasized

The newly formed interim leadership of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO), led by Peacebuilding Minister Stephen Par Kuol, said it has met President Salva Kiir to discuss the implementation of the 2018 peace agreement.

SPLM-IO Appoints Interim Leadership Amid Detention of Dr. Riek Machar

Juba, South Sudan – April 9, 2025

In a major political development, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-In Opposition (SPLM-IO) National Liberation Council has appointed Peace-building Minister Stephen Par Kuol as the party’s interim Chairperson, pending the release of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar.

The decision was announced following an extraordinary council meeting aimed at ensuring continuity in the party's leadership during Machar’s absence. Minister Kuol will be deputized by Federal Affairs Minister Losuba Wongo, who will assist in steering the party through this transitional period.

In addition to the interim appointments, Agok Makur was named as the new Secretary General of the SPLM-IO, a move expected to bolster the party’s organizational framework.

The SPLM-IO leadership reiterated its commitment to the ongoing peace process and urged calm among its supporters. No official statement has been made yet on the circumstances or duration of Dr. Machar’s detention.

This reshuffle marks a critical moment for the SPLM-IO as it navigates internal challenges and continues to play a central role in South Sudan’s transitional government.

The South Sudan government has accused the U.S. of trying to deport a DRC national to Juba, an incident that sparked the revocation of all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders.

Juba, in a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday, clarified that the deportee had an inauthentic South Sudan travel document.

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has appointed a new leader for the war-scarred Tigray region. General Tadesse Worede, who commanded Tigrayan rebel forces during the two-year civil war, replaces Getachew Reda as interim president - a role that was set up as part of a peace deal to end the conflict. There've been warnings of a possible return to violence because of the party infighting and tensions with neighbouring Eritrea.
