Changson Chang is not the leader of any group in Torit. Whoever wrote this article is a terror and a criminal.

Besides, SSAF is no longer the nsme of the emerging movement in Torit.

Cde. Oliwa Mario didn’t write this article. This article is seemed to have been written by one of our sons from nairobi. It is not true.
