Joseph Lagu was the leader of a group of southern forces opposed to the people who held power in Khartoum. In 1971, he announced the creation of the Southern Sudan Liberation Movement (SSLM) and the large majority of exiled southern politicians supported him. Anya Nya leaders also supported Lagu. (Anya Nya was a Southern Sudanese separatist rebel army created during the First Sudanese Civil War. The name means "snake venom" in the Madi language).
