Discharged ex-SSPDF Gen. Stephen Buay joins Gen. Malong’s SSUF
General Stephen Buay Rolnyang, who was in August 2019 stripped of his rank and discharged from the South Sudan People s Defense Forces (SSPDF), on Monday declared that he had joined Gen. Paul Malong’s South Sudan United Front/Army (SSUF/A).
The litany of reasons he gave for joining SSUF ranged from an attack on a cattle camp in his village to the usurpation of power in Juba by the Sudanese National Congress Party (NCP), poor welfare of SSPDF soldiers, tribalism, and corruption among others.
“This is to inform all the people of South Sudan that today on 3/5/2021, I have joined the South Sudan United Front/Army (SSUF/A) under the leadership of General Paul Malong Awan,” Gen. Buoy wrote in a press release.
