South Sudan on 8 August 2022 executed rebel officers who were forcefully deported by authorities in Sudan, according to a video and pictures Sudan Tribune obtained after the execution.
Sudanese authorities on 7 August handed over rebel officers arrested in Al-Fula town in West Kordofan State.
The three officers were identified as Major Gen. Nyuon Garang, Major Gen. Pur Ruop Kuol, and Brig. Gen. Gatluak Majok were reportedly transported by road through Heglig and handed over to Unity State governor, Joseph Nguen Monytuil on 8 August morning.
“Monytuil immediately ordered the execution”, relatives and multiple sources told Sudan Tribune the same day.
Sudan and South Sudanese have remained tight-lipped over the matter.
Stephen Buoy Rolnyang, the leader of the rebel South Sudan People’s Movement/Army (SSPM/A) confirmed the execution of the officers, saying the act violates humanitarian and international laws.
“It is true we have lost our colleagues. The authorities in Sudan as we reported yesterday in our release arrested and drove through Heglig our colleagues and handed them over to Joseph Nguen Manytuil, the governor of Unity State. The latter was on phone with Presidential Adviser Tut Gatluak Manime, who was coordinating the arrest and deportation with the Sudanese authorities”, said Rolnyang.
“They were arrested in Al- Fula where they were visiting family members by members of Sudan’s Rapid Support Force, put into a vehicle and handed over to Joseph Nguen who waiting for them at the border,” he added.
The three officers, Rolnyang said, were executed at Kaikang in Unity State.
He wondered why the unarmed officers were not taken to the country’s capital, Juba for legal processes to be followed and the nature of crimes determined.
He said that their execution was expected once they were given to the Unity State governor.
“They are vengeful. Blame the Sudanese [and] no one else,” he emphasized.
The rebel leader expressed disappointment over Khartoum’s move, saying many rebel groups exist in Sudan and South Sudan, yet neither country had ever arrested and handed over officers to be summarily executed.

Babu Emmanuel Lokiri, the young man accused of killing the three siblings at Rock City in Juba on 1st August 2020, was hanged on 7 January 2022 afternoon in Juba. This was confirmed to Eye Radio by Ogwili Kuot, the President of the High Court in Juba.
Babu was first condemned by the court to death in August 2020 after the court discovered that he slaughtered the three children. Babu, 24, was found guilty of the gruesome killing of 9-year-old Naomi, 7-year-old Blessing and 4-year old Nor Edward.
Judge Kuot says Babu was killed after all the court procedures were completed that mandated his hanging.
“Emmanuel Babo Lokiri was hanged today 7th January 2022 at around 2:00 PM”, Judge Ogwili Kuot told Eye Radio.
“The process was done according to the prison procedures. Nobody is hanged without approval from the President of the Republic”, he added.
According to Article 206, premeditated murder is considered if the act that caused the death was committed with the intention of causing the death or if the perpetrator of the act knew that the death was a probable result rather than merely a possible result of an act or any bodily harm that was intended to cause it with the same act.
Babu used a machete to end the lives, the court heard. The murders angered South Sudanese all over the world, including President Salva Kiir who promised to ensure that the killer faced justice.
