🔴 BREAKING: SPLA-IO Kit-Gwang Says Peace Deal Is Near Collapse

The SPLM/A-IO Kit-Gwang faction, led by Gen. Simon Gatwech Dual, warns that its February peace deal with the government is three months away from expiring — with “not a single provision implemented.”

The agreement promised:
● Integration of Kit-Gwang forces into the SSPDF
● Deployment of their troops to Juba
● Appointment of Gen. Gatwech as Deputy Commander-in-Chief

Nine months later, spokesperson Musa Abraham says no real progress has been made. He blames internal tensions in Juba, the Nasir violence, and the removal of Gen. Akec Tong Aleu, the government’s signatory.

Abraham says they are still talking to the government, but warns withdrawal is possible:

> “Many promises have been made, but tangible steps are yet to be taken.”

Gatwech, a former SPLA-IO Chief of Staff, has long refused to return to Juba over security concerns.

Now the big question is:
Will this peace deal be saved — or will it collapse completely?

SPLA-IO Kit-Gwang warns peace deal is stalling, close to expiry - Radio Tamazuj A South Sudanese rebel group that signed a peace agreement with the government in February

A South Sudanese rebel group that signed a peace agreement with the government in February said the deal is close to expiring without meaningful progress, raising the possibility it could withdraw from the pact.

The SPLM/A-IO Kit-Gwang faction, led by General Simon Gatwech Dual, inked the accord with the Juba government on Feb. 2 in Port Sudan. The agreement, which set a 12-month implementation timeline, was brokered by Sudanese military authorities.

The South Sudanese government was represented by Gen. Akec Tong Aleu, the former director of the National Security Service’s Internal Security Bureau. The Sudanese side was led by Gen. Ahmed Ibrahim Mufadal, then head of the General Intelligence Service.

Following the signing, an advance team from the Kit-Gwang faction travelled to Juba, led by Gatluak Puok Kuenywar, to begin discussions on implementing the agreement, including the integration of their forces into the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) and other organised forces.

The deal also stipulates that Gen. Gatwech would be appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the SSPDF before his return to Juba.

The agreement further states that a contingent of SPLA-IO Kit-Gwang forces will be deployed to Juba within three months of the signing of the deal, ahead of Gen. Simon Gatwech’s return.

But nine months later, the group’s spokesperson, Musa Abraham, told Radio Tamazuj on Wednesday that “not a single provision” has been implemented.

“The agreement was signed with the former director general of the National Security Service (NSS), but we are in contact with the current NSS leadership. They say they are committed to the agreement, but there are challenges in the implementation,” Abraham said.

He attributed the stall to the government facing “a lot of difficulties since the violence in Nasir and internal issues in Juba,” as well as the removal of General Akec Tong Aleu, the government’s signatory and former director of the National Security Service’s Internal Security Bureau.

Abraham warned the deal is “three months away from expiring,” noting the agreement allows the parties to either extend the timeline or for the SPLM/A-IO Kit-Gwang faction to withdraw.

“We have not reached that stage yet. We are still talking with the government,” he said, adding that the five-member advance team remains in Juba and continues to engage officials.

He said the group has not seen a clear government roadmap for implementation. “Many promises have been made, but tangible steps are yet to be taken,” Abraham said.

“If the agreement is fully implemented, the Kit-Gwang forces will be integrated into the national forces. South Sudan needs peace, not conflict.”

NSS spokesperson David Kumuri could not immediately be reached for comment on why the peace deal signed with Gen Simon Gatwech has stalled, despite the ongoing integration of other former rebel groups.

Who is Gen Simon Gatwech Dual?

Gen Simon Gatwech Dual served as Chief of Staff of the SPLA-IO from 2014. After the signing of the 2018 peace agreement, he refused to travel to Juba, citing the lack of progress on security arrangements.

In 2021, President Salva Kiir appointed him as a presidential peace advisor, but Gatwech rejected the offer, saying he had not been consulted and accusing the government of attempting to lure him to Juba.

In August 2021, Gatwech issued what became known as the Kit-Gwang Declaration after a meeting of SPLA-IO commanders in Magenis, Upper Nile State, announcing he had removed Dr Riek Machar as leader of the SPLM/A-IO. He named Gen Johnson Olony as his deputy.

The SPLM/A-IO Kit-Gwang faction later signed a peace deal with the government in Khartoum in January 2022. Agwelek forces aligned with Olony signed a separate agreement. However, relations between Gatwech and Olony soon deteriorated, leading to several armed clashes. Olony later declared he supported peace and returned to Juba.

In February 2025, Gen Gatwech signed a new agreement with the government that includes provisions for integrating his forces into the national army and appointing him as Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the SSPDF.

BREAKING: President Salva Kiir fires Dr Benjamin Bol Mel from his position as Vice President.

Press Release!

For Immediate Release.

Date: Tuesday, 11th November 2025.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::://///:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The leadership of the SPLM/A-IO Kitgwang confirms an unexpected attack by SPLA-IO forces loyal to Dr Riek Machar on Monday, 10th November 2025, at Kitgwang base in Pieri Payam, Uror County, Jonglei State.

The SPLA/IO-Kitgwang Forces withdrew from their positions to protect innocent civilians. We condemn this destructive act in the strongest possible terms.

The SPLM/A-IO Kitgwang will continue to defend itself and will respond soon to instruct those warmongers who aim to cause havoc in the area.

Meanwhile, the SPLM-IO Kitgwang would like to dismiss all rumours and media propaganda propagated by SPLM/A-IO supporters claiming that Kitgwang plans to sell or surrender their arms to the Government of South Sudan.

These allegations against Kitgwang are baseless and meant to cover up the very destructions it so far inflicted on the community including unnecessary lost of lives.

Furthermore, the government has been in constant confrontation with SPLA-IO forces across the country, hence the bombardment by the SSPDF in Pieri and Lankien is a part of an already active engagement between SPLA-IO and SSPDF.

The leadership of SPLM/A-IO Kitgwang urges civilians to distance themselves from these destructive elements and seek refuge in safer areas.

The leadership also wants to reassure civilians and the nation at large that this situation will be addressed promptly, and peace and stability will soon be restored.

Lt. Col. Nyang Gony G*i, Press Secretary in the Office of the Chairman and Commander in Chief of SPLM/A-IO Kitgwang.
