These actions of Gen. Kuol and Gen. Olony are long overdue. I have now come to realize that Gen. Kuol believes in defeat, not dialogue, in South Sudan. There are reasons to believe that Gen. Kuol was privy to the statement uttered by Gen. Olony in Duk county. However, Gen. Kuol is treading dangerously because he seems to have outlived his usefulness as a freedom fighter. Unfortunately, Gen. Kuol is no longer selfless but selfish by virtue of the fact that he has an appetite for the status quo.
