September 29, 2019 (JUBA) – The Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring Mechanism (CTSAMVM) in South Sudan on Friday announced the appointment of Major General Dafaalla Hamid Mohamad Dadaalla as the body’s new deputy chairperson.

Dafaalla, from Sudan, replaces Maj. Gen. Tariq Abdelkarim Ibrahim who left the mission after over three years of “distinguished” service.

CTSAMVM, in a brief statement, said it welcomes Dafaalla’s appointment.

“CTSAMVM thanks General Tariq for his commitment to CTSAMVM and to peace in South Sudan, and wishes him all the best for the future,” partly reads the statement extended to Sudan Tribune.
