New, pretty long and elaborate, with adequate references, no copyvio issues, hook is short, interesting and well sourced. QPQ done. Good for promotion. Tachs (talk) 15:32, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but was wondering where is the citation that verifies that the SPL-IO rebels who killed Par were loyal to Machar? Yoninah (talk) 21:48, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah While the exact loyalties of all SPLM-IO forces in South Sudan are dubious, all militias that claim to be part of the SPLM-IO also acknowledge Machar as their leader, because the SPLM-Io is in effect Machar's private army. Machar has appointed Dominic Ogolla/Ukello as his shadow governor in Wau and Ukello in turn has said that his forces killed Par. This article directly titles "Machar rebels kill two SPLA Generals".
