The people of South Sudan would like to advise the negative doubters that officers like George Athor, Gordon Koang, Gabriel Tang, David Yau Yau and Gatluak Gai are South Sudan nationalists who fought for the liberation of the South. Long before the formation of the SPLM/A in 1983, officers like Gordon Koang Chol and Gabriel Tang were fighters of Anyanya Two who rebelled against the government of Jafar Mohamed Nimeiri in 1975 to liberate the South when it was obvious that President Nimeiri took steps to dishonor the 1972 Addis Ababa Agreement.
