President of the Republic has directed security agents to protect former SPLA Chief of General Staff Paul Malong Awan in the country.
President Salva Kiir Mayardit told Journalists in Juba on Friday that General Malong and his followers would be safe in the capital, Radio Bakhita reports.
Paul Malong withdrew with his security guards on Tuesday shortly after being removed from his command.
The silent departure of Malong has caused panic among many residents in Juba.
