Headline SPLA and Forces of Defected General Sign Ceasefire in South Sudan

Caption Description Brigadier General Michael Majur Aleer (seated left) of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and Major General Abraham Thon Chol (seated right) of George Athor’s rebel forces sign a ceasefire agreement in Juba, capital of South Sudan, days before the South holds its long-awaited referendum. George Athor, a general who defected from the SPLA, took up arms against the Government of South Sudan after losing the April 2010 governor’s race in Jonglei State, claiming the elections were fixed. Members of the ceasefire mediation team observe the signing, including Archbishop Daniel Deng Bul (standing left) and Riek Machar (standing second from left), Vice President of the Government of Southern Sudan.
