South Sudan army denies defection of Gen. Paulino Matip
December 9, 2007 (JUBA) — The Sudan People’s Liberation Army denounced allegations made by David de Chand in a pro-Khartoum ruling party newspaper saying that General Paulino Matip had defected from the southern Sudan army.
“Despite incredibility of the sources […] we are hereby obliged to unleash our constrain strategy, to clear doubts.”.Said statement issued by the office of Deputy Commander in Chief of the SPLA. The statement added “It is a senseless claim, that have no place in this united south.”
The office Deputy C-in-C reassured “All Southern that these baseless allegations are nothing, given the fact that they were meant to confuse, and to drag back our people, to re-visit their bitter needless past.”
Paulino Matip warned David de Chand “Not to continue running around with such fallacious statements, that would achieve nothing rather than time’s waste, when there is no much time left, to be wasted.” The statement reported.
The statement hailed the strong relations between the Sudan’s First Vice President and SPLA Commander in Chief and the SPLA Deputy Commander in Chief.
It also reaffirmed that all the forces of the Southern Sudan Defence Forces of Lt Gen. Paulino Matip are now fully integrated in the SPLA.
The influential Nuer leader, Paulino Matip, during May 2007had to pass on a radio message from his residence in Nairobi to deny rumours about his death. He said reports about his death in a hospital in South Africa or in a plane crash were baseless and merely rumours aimed at creating confusion and to destabilize the country.
In January 2006, Matip disbanded his SSDF and integrated the SPLA following the signature of Juba Declaration with the southern Sudan leader, Salva Kiir Mayadrit.

SPLA Deputy C-in-C‘s Office denounces David De-Chand and El-intibaha News Letter’s allegations
This unrestraint became inevitable discharge that would denounce allegations, made by Mr. David De-Chand and El-Intibaha, an Arabic news letter based in Khartoum, which, said the SPLA D/C-in-C Lt General Paulino Matip, has defected from the SPLA/M. However, despite incredibility of the sources, as most of you may know; we are hereby obliged to unleash our constrain strategy, to clear doubts, then we are more than confident that this release, will be too painful to the source because it will add up salt into injury, by re-emphasizing over that source’s incredibility that would re-affirm its disposition.
Truthfully, there was nothing apart from a wild dream, and wishful thinking from David De-Chand whose words usually, flow like an erosion of sand and toxic gases. Consequently, the deputy C-in-C’s office is hereby informing all that it is a senseless claim, that have no place in this united south. In any case, the South will prevail no matter what that ailing substantiations driven by egoism may wish.
Through satellite phone contact with Deputy C-in-C Lt Gen. Paulino Matip Nhial who is dealing with his social issues and family matters, where he said that GOSS as institution had no exclusiveness policy, unless some individuals, here and there, acting on their own, and at their own risk, as some ended up facing consequences of their attitudes.
Therefore; he advised these who acted immaturely and elements of Khartoum e.g. Mr. David De-Chand not to continue running around with such fallacious statements, that would achieve nothing rather than time’s waste, when there is no much time left, to be wasted.
We are here very much confident and would re-assure all Southern that these baseless allegations are nothing, given the fact that they were meant to confuse, and to drag back our people, to re-visit their bitter needless past. Question, why should disunity could be the only opposition agenda? And then why not unity;
Hence, no single problem when all the former SSDF forces have been fully integrated into SPLA and other security forces’ ranks and files; In addition, all newly integrated SPLA forces have been deployed, and have received or some are receiving their benefits; as well as, if there were some who didn’t satisfy, it shouldn’t be anything else rather than formalities and procedures. Thus there is no point for speculation from Mr. De-Chand and his likes, he went on to say, our unity known as Juba declaration of 2006, is the power base, and the most strongest weapon that we have ever received. As a result, the common sense tells us we would not just temper with it without any good reason because it was a long awaited and expensive unity.
Moreover, the two comrades the D/C-in-C, and H. E Lt. Gen Salva Kiir Mayardit, the Sudan first vice president & president of GOSS, Chairman of SPLM, and the C-in-C of the SPLA, that mean men have sacrificed and risked everything to grantee this unity, as the only determine factor to liberty of the Sudanese people at large, and marginalized areas in particular.
To be candid, there is nothing greater than this unity, among brothers and sisters, subsequently, for few who fell behind to understand it, would be better for them not attempt with the will of the people because they will fail.
Likewise, deputy C-in-C Lt General Paulino Matip; is here and strongly re-affirm his commitment to Southern cause. Hence, through this message he reminded all Sudanese people that he is a man of word. Certainly, he could speak his mind any where he goes if the need be; we could speak more than this, but because these are well known irresponsible elements, we would cease our statement.
Consequently, we are hereby advising Mr. David De-Chand not to play, rather to do things that maybe better for him and not to waste time politicizing senseless ideas.
Signed
Office Deputy C-in-C
Juba, South Sudan

I am now convinced that those who are in Khartoum(the Arabs and their parasites) are planning to destroy the CPA, but they are scared by the unity that the people of Southern Sudan have. They know that they cannot win this war if they resume it. So they have now resorted to “Cold War.” I don’t think the people of Southern Sudan are sleeping. The remaining four years are not many. Southerners who are deceived by the Arabs government (not Arab people) will see the reality about and the position of their pretentious donors.

Am now much convienced that people like David Basheir De chand are true elements of mundukuru,beleives me brothers where ever you are, these arabs tools are very sharp and can destroy us in no time if we fall to handle them with alot of seriousness.
Look here, just fortnight ago David De Chand said that the true “sun” of South Sudan Mr Mayadit to resign from the post of presidancy of Southern Sudan for suspending the participation in the GONU. Now he is again saying that “kuor medit” Matip is no more with the southerners. What a empty headed politician mr de chand is!. If there is a true son of Southern Sudan sitting next to mr de chand basheir now he better tell him to stop this madness before it is too late or he is to be curse by Southerners togethers with his master mr De Chand Basheir.
Please mr De chand Paulino Matip Nhial is not going to betray the Southerners again, he knows how the Arabs treats our citizens and that why he came out of there long ago.Matip knows what we where fighting for all these years, unlike you who only knows the act of parasitism and betrayal of your own brothers for selfish gains like you are doing it now. please if you are tied with you dirty life you better jumps into red sea since it the nearest place for you now. leaves us on our own, we needs you no more.

Hello David De Chand,
you had not learned from the first experienced of Fashoda agreement between Riak Machar and Khartoum Government. Please, do n’t let yourself be decieved by Bashiir to announce falseless news to the public.
We southern sudanese had already know Arab position to Southerners. If you still being mislead through bribing then your generation and family will be curse due to your evil act.

Please change yourself before we pray for your bad act.

By the way, I’m sorry to pay attention to David de-chand, but this message is not to him because he is not that important figure to debate about him. Why should we cause headache to ourselves by responding to a man whose his greediness of food has taken him into middle of Arabs who raped his sisters, mothers, and killed his brothers and uncles? The term politic needs to be redefined, de-chand is not even a politician, he is just senseless and heartless human being who have learned how to write and Arabs love to use fool his own people. So david chand is basically a rubbish.

David de Chand is another Southern Sudanese,a PHD holder who is rising from obscurity to notoriety. It is good to have quality education, but using it negatively would ultimately determine your fate. Many educated Southerners were used against the South and they all ended in spectacular failure.

I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL IF I WERE YOU. THERE IS NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE..I AM JUST DISTURBED BY THIS ALLEGATION FROM DAVID DE-CHAND. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT. I AM SORRY BUT I HAVE REASONS TO WORRY AND THINK ABOUT THAT.
WE DONT TRUST EACH OTHER IN SOUTHERN SUDAN. LOOK AT PAULINOS RESIDENCE, HOW MANY HEAVY WEAPONS AND HOW MANY SOLDIERS ARE AROUND THAT COMPOUND.MOST OF THE GUARDS ARE NUERS.
GO TO ANY FORMER COMMANDER OR MINISTERS COMPOUND. SAME THING!
GO TO THE PRESIDENTS (SALVA) RESIDENCE…..PROBABLY DINKA FROM GONGRIAL OR WHEREVER HE COMES FROM.
THATS WHY WHEN DR.GARANG DIED HE TOOK AWAY WITH HIM ONLY ( MOSTLY) DANKA BOR.
THERE ARE RUMOURS OF COUP AND OF WAR IN SS. FROM OBUTU MAMUR TO THE RECENT ONE. ALTHOUGH MAMUR IS STILL IN JAIL WITHOUT ANY REASON…TALER AND THE OTHER ARE HAVING FUN SOMEWHERE. NO ONE CAN TOUCH THEM BECAUSE IT WOULD RESULT TO SOMETHING VERY NASTY.

People of the South Sudan need to be at a look out at all time be watcheful of such allegation, these are weapons to dismantle the south because the peace that have achieved so far is a prime threat to enemies of peace and they will do anything to make sure that south Sudan goes back to civil war and amongst itself waging tribal wars. As this allegation was planted outside Sudan, the SSUDA have no right infiltrate harmful ideas to the public of the south Sudan. As a result, Southerners should stand up for them and expect politician to at all time manipulate their minds and their wisedom. To those who hate peace, be assured that South Sudan will HAIL and the whole country will HAIL and we will once again rejoice in a peaceful country just like the rest of the world. Many thanks to H.E Mr Paulino Matip.
