South Sudan United Front Army-SSUF/A

Date: 13 April 2026
Subject: Firm Response to False Claims and Misleading Justifications

The leadership of the South Sudan United Front/Army (SSUF/A) issues this firm statement in response to recent claims circulated by Atong Hassan, in which she alleges that her accusations were based on “reliable sources” and internal verification.
We categorically reject this justification.

Following direct communication between Ms. Atong Hassan and Gen. Paul Malong Awan, the Chairman and Commander-in-Chief, it has been clearly confirmed that no such allegations, discussions, or incidents have ever existed.
Furthermore, the Chairman explicitly requested that the individual who allegedly provided such information be identified and presented in Nairobi for verification. The refusal to disclose or present this so-called source is a clear indication that these claims are fabricated and lack any credibility.

This behavior demonstrates a deliberate attempt to spread falsehoods under the pretense of verification. It is misleading, irresponsible, and constitutes a serious breach of ethical standards in public communication.

Accordingly, the leadership informs all members and the general public that the individual concerned appears to be acting with ulterior motives, including personal gain through the dissemination of sensational and misleading content across media platforms. Such conduct undermines trust and damages the integrity of public discourse.

We therefore call upon all members, supporters, and concerned citizens of South Sudan who genuinely respect and support the leadership of Gen. Paul Malong Awan to demand clear evidence and accountability regarding these baseless allegations. Claims of such gravity must be supported by verifiable facts, not vague references to unnamed sources.

Failure to provide credible evidence and to retract these statements will leave the leadership with no option but to pursue appropriate measures through official channels, including relevant offices abroad.
SSUF/A remains committed to truth, institutional integrity, and responsible engagement with the public.

Statement of Condemnation Regarding False Allegations Circulated in a Video by Atong Hassan.

The leadership of the South Sudan United Front/Army (SSUF/A) expresses its strong condemnation and deep concern regarding the false and misleading statements circulated in a video attributed to activist Atong Hassan.

The claims made in the video, alleging that the Secretary General of the movement, Mr. Tut Chol, in addition to Advisor Abraham Chol Moses and Mr. Anei Tong, Head of Security Protection in the Office of the Chairman, conspired with certain individuals within the government to hand over Gen. Paul Malong Awan for the purpose of assassination at the borders of South Sudan, are completely baseless, unfounded, and without any factual or credible evidence.

We categorically reject these allegations in the strongest terms. At no time, whether in the past or present, has there been any such conspiracy or action as falsely portrayed. These claims are malicious, irresponsible, and intended to create confusion, mistrust, and unnecessary tension among members and the public.

Furthermore, the leadership notes with concern that the matter appears to be linked to internal score-settling and unhealthy rivalries within certain circles, where misleading and false information has been deliberately provided to the said individual. Such actions reflect negatively on institutional values and undermine unity and discipline within the movement.

The leadership of SSUF/A assures all members, supporters, and the general public that such narratives do not reflect reality and should be treated as misinformation. We reaffirm our commitment to unity, discipline, and the protection of the integrity of our leadership and institution.

We consider the dissemination of such false accusations as a hostile act against the movement and its leadership. Accordingly, we call upon the individual concerned to issue an immediate public apology through an official video statement, retracting the claims and clarifying the misinformation presented.

SSUF/A remains committed to responsible communication, truth, and the preservation of institutional credibility.

8th Anniversary Message

On the occasion of the 8th Anniversary of the founding of the South Sudan United Front/Army (SSUF/A), we extend our sincere greetings to all members of the movement and our valued supporters.

This anniversary is a moment to reaffirm our shared commitment and collective responsibility toward the cause we stand for. We pay tribute to the honorable members of the movement who continue to uphold the principles of sacrifice, resilience, and dedication.

Our cause is not one that can be bought by money, but one that is sustained through perseverance and unwavering commitment to the objectives and constitution of SSUF/A—toward building a nation that accommodates all tribes and serves every citizen with dignity.

We strongly condemn any attacks against innocent civilians by any party. Such acts undermine peace, stability, and the values we collectively seek to promote.

The leadership reaffirms its continued commitment to national issues through the guiding principles and constitutional framework of the South Sudan United Front/Army. We call upon the people of South Sudan to remain patient and steadfast during this challenging period.

Addressing the challenges facing our communities requires unity, understanding, and mutual respect. The path forward lies in accepting one another as one united people, and working together to build a peaceful, inclusive, and stable nation.

Together, we reaffirm that the struggle for justice, reform, and national unity is responsibility that must be carried with sincerity and purpose for the benefit of the common citizen.

We urge all churches and Christian communities across the country to dedicate prayers for peace, healing, and unity among our people.

Let this Easter be a message of peace to the people of South Sudan—a call to uphold unity, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence among all citizens.

Condolence Message

It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt grief that we received the news of the passing of Sultan Garang Deng Rual, the Permanent Chief of the Akanyjok Deng Rual Community of Aweil East County, Yargot Payam, Akuemkou, who passed away yesterday, 10 February 2026. His departure is a great loss not only to his family and community, but also to the people of South Sudan, the community of Aweil in general, and the community of Aweil East in particular.

As the Holy Scripture reminds us:“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on… they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”— Revelation 14:13

On behalf of the leadership of the South Sudan United Front/Army (SSUF/A), we extend our sincere condolences to his family, relatives, the Akanyjok Deng Rual community of Aweil East County (Yargot Payam, Akuemkou), and to all the people of South Sudan during this difficult time.

May God grant his soul eternal rest and give strength and comfort to his loved ones.

SUBJECT: OFFICIAL DENIAL OF UNAUTHORIZED COMMUNICATION

This notice serves to inform you of the official position of SSUF/A regarding a report dated 2 February 2026 issued by Maj. General Garang Kuot Nyuol in his capacity as Press Secretary in the Office of the Chairman.

It has come to the attention of the leadership that the said report communicated a position on peace matters prior to the deliberations and conclusions of the committee duly constituted by the Chairman to address the issue should be treated as bogus.

This action was premature and inconsistent with the procedures and principles of the SSUF/A Constitution, and does not reflect the established protocols of collective decision-making within the movement.

SSUF/A hereby formally disassociates itself and denies the contents of the said letter/report, which does not represent the official position of the movement or the Office of the Chairman.

Any official communication on this matter will be issued through the appropriate and authorized channels.
