Deng Atem Wal: "Only that I left Nairobi earlier, I could have to face the fade of Dong and Aggrey"

Deng Atem Wal is a member of the South Sudanese opposition group known as SPLM IO. He serves as a member of the National Liberation Council. Before he joined SPLM IO, he survived an attempt on his life in Juba and another in Nairobi in 2016. As a close colleague to the late Dong Samuel Luak and Aggrey Idris, Deng is blaming the kidnapping and death on both the government National Security and the breakaway faction of the SPLM IO led by Vice President Taban Deng.
