The new opposition movement, the Democratic Resistance Movement (DRM,) was declared by Dr Lado Jada Kwajok, who recently resigned his position in the National Salvation Front (NAS). Kwajok, who signed off the declaration as the chairman and commander-in-chief of the new outfit, said that the DRM shall not relent until the regime is removed from power, with the institution of federalism and full accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity being high priorities. In a raft of appointments, Kwajok named Lt Gen Judge Advocate Khalid Ono Loki as the deputy chairman of the DRM and deputy chairman of its political bureau. He also appointed Maj Gen Murtada Jalal Uldin Baballa as the chief of intelligence and a member of the political bureau.
