Dr. Riek must be careful dismissing the founders of the movement! Without general Yak and Gatkuoth, SPLA-IO won’t have existed period. Who the heck is unwisely advising Dr. Machar?

it is not a surprised for the dismissal of two General since Dr Riek was advice by his in-law Taban Deng who is planning to overthrow him and come back to the Government through the influences of all Garang sons. Riek does not know that and perhaps Riek and Taban were survives because of the massacred committed by Kiir in Juba against Nuer if had it not been so ,I think none of General would not followed them since they had been in the Government for last eight yrs and nothings was yield fruits.
So, let Riek play his sooner down fall otherwise 2002 routine return will repeated itself.

Nuer, If Gatdet is a real hero, he should accept this as normal because it is the duty of the CIC to do what is right for the movement. I am sure riek machar consulted Gatdet & he agreed for the decision. Other wise, what is the meaning of leader? How can he lead the movement with out making proper decisions? Gatdet is a hero period but he may have some weakness in other things like analyzing proper politics …

General Gatdet indeed, He is hero compare to machar who run to bush b’se of his life and gone without his single officer in the armies and beside that his personal interested rather than the juba killing,but we should advice both Generals to still honor the Nuer Nationalism of being opposing the gov’t .
