SPLA military intel boss hospitalized, but rumours of death proven false

By Manyang Mayom

January 4, 2010 (RUMBEK) – The Southern Sudan army’s top military intelligence officer, who was rumoured to have died in a Nairobi hospital on Sunday, was found alive on Monday hospitalized due to serous chest pain.

Last year Colonel Marial Nuor was flown out from Juba to Nairobi last year to undergo medical treatment in Nairobi after he complained to his bosses of chest pain. The powerful spy commander has served extensively as a military intelligence officer in the department of operations of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army.

Rumours of his death hit various SPLA barracks and communities in South Sudan, particularly Rumbek. It was first said that Marial Chanuong had died and later in the day it was shifted to Marial Nuor.

“Colonel Marial Nuor is alive and still on a Nairobi hospital bed — it is a great lie for those who spread bad news that Marial had died; Col. Marial Nuor is still alive he will be released tomorrow or after tomorrow at Nairobi hospital,” said Kuol Deim Kuol, SPLA Official Spokesperson.

Also denying the rumour, Southern Sudan Director of Military Intelligence Major General John Lat Zechariah, who is the boss of Colonel Marial Nuor, said that he had a contact with Marial in Nairobi and they last talked at 9:30 a.m. morning Monday. He also talked to the colonel’s wife in Nairobi who confirmed that Marial’s treatment was going on very well.

    If Marial Nuor died, it would be a good riddance. He was one of the people responsible for the cold-blooded murder of Judge Martin Majier Gai in Western Equatoria. There was a plan by these guys to eliminate people they thought could present a challenge to Kiir’s rise in the SPLM chain in the future. These are murderous thugs that will never see heaven.

    We want our SPLA leaders to still alive ,so that they can witness the real struggling in which we lost almost the entire generation of ours.
    Please may God let our strong leader (Marial Nuor)have better treatment.

    Usual rumours from desperate individuals, this desperate rumour mongers should really hang themselves or drop in the ocean because their objectives have no place in south sudan society, however security and intelligence officials have to maintain their high level of cautiousness and stay low key not open themselves to this foreigners and Arab killers.
