Governor Lt. General Governor Malik Agar currently names Kurmuk the capital city of Southern Blue Nile. Malik Agar is the former SPLM commander who is currently the governor of Blue Nile state. [ [http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article22660 "Sudanese president names SPLM’s Agar as governor of Blue Nile"] (Sudan Tribune); [http://www.newsudanvision.com/news/malik-agar-orders-sudan-s-spla-move-southward-names-kurmuk-capital-southern-blue-nile-630 "Malik Agar orders Sudan's SPLA to move southward, names Kurmuk capital of Southern Blue Nile"] ]

Kurmuk has a very strong military base headed by Brigadier Joseph Tuga, an Uduk, and Brigadier Jundi who is a Berta. Ahamed Omda lacks military support from his ethnic group, which means he does not have a base of support to dominate the military field as the Igansina Brigadier.
