August 13, 2016 (JUBA) - The Spokesperson of South Sudan President

Presidential Spokesperson Ateny Wek Ateny, told the media late on
Friday that the government of President Salva Kiir on whose behalf he
spoke, will not cooperate with the United Nations approved force.
“It is very unfortunate and we are not going to ‘cooperate’ because we
will not allow our country to be taken over by U.N. Any force that
will be called Juba Protection Force will not be accepted,” said
Ateny.
Ateny made the remarks after the government convened a cabinet meeting
at which it was resolved to send a letter rejecting a proposal
authorizing deployment of protection force from the region under the
united nations mission in South Sudan.
The letter prepared by the minister of cabinet affairs, Martin Elia
Lomuro and approved by president Kiir likened the deployment of 4,000
foreign troops to “invasion and interference in the internal affairs”.

Even with IGAD proposal that South Sudan accepted. Neighboring
countries: Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Sudan must not participate with
protection forces. Bring forces from the countries which are not
interesting in South Sudan resources.
