Paul Malong was Chief of the General Staff of the SPLA (Sudan People's Liberation Army) until May 2017. Although he has been removed from his position, he remains a highly influential figure as he commands control of several militia, has loyalties within the SPLA and has a large patronage network. His influence is also demonstrated by the facts that in Oct 2017 senior officers (including Lt. Col. Chan Garang) attempted to forcefully free Malong from house arrest; in Jan 2018, President Kiir accused Malong of mobilising for war. Malong also commanded troops that committed serious violations of human rights, including the targeting and killing of civilians and extensive destruction of villages.

En tant que chef d'état-major de l'APLS, Malong a commis des violations de l'accord de cessation des hostilités et de l'accord sur le règlement du conflit en République du Soudan du Sud de 2015, qui ont eu pour conséquence d'étendre ou de prolonger le conflit. Il aurait dirigé la tentative d'assassinat du chef de l'opposition, Riek Machar. Il a ordonné à des unités de l'APLS d'empêcher le transport de fournitures humanitaires. Sous la direction de Malong, l'APLS a attaqué des civils, des écoles et des hôpitaux, a forcé le déplacement de civils, s'est rendue coupable de disparitions forcées prolongées, a placé arbitrairement des civils en détention et a commis des actes de torture et des viols. Malong a mobilisé la milice tribale dinka Mathiang Anyoor, qui utilise des enfants soldats.
