August 28, 2016 (JUBA) - The South Sudanese government has criticised
neigbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for allegedly permitting the
use of its territory to be used to evacuate armed opposition leader and
former first vice president, Riek Machar.
[image: JPEG - 44.9 kb]*South Sudan’s information minister, Michael Makuei
Lueth, speaks to reporters in Jonglei state capital Bor on 25 December 2014
(ST)*

The country’s information and broadcasting Minister Michael Makuei Lueth
described evacuation of Machar from inside the country using an aircraft
coming from Congo as a violation of international law and asked Congolese
government through its embassy to explain why they could not inform them if
they did not permit the evacuation plan.

The outspoken minister, in a statement on the state-owned *SSBC*, said
"such act does not benefit either of the two countries as well as regional
and global peace".

His comments follows a summon by the ministry of foreign Affairs of
Congolese ambassador in Juba for a meeting at which the ministry officially
protested what it calls border limitation by Congolese authorities. Machar
fled the capital, Juba, after government forces attacked his residence
following a clash between presidential guard force loyal to president and
his (Machar) security details at the presidential palace in Juba, resulting
in the death of over 200 soldiers on both sides.

Fearing for his life, he moved out of Juba hoping that the ceasefire he and
president Salva Kiir declared would hold for him to return and resume his
work at the presidency. But continued attacks by government forces pursuing
him forced him to flee into DRC where the United Nations airlifted him
after suffering from exhaustion and dehydration.

Commenting on Machar’s exit, the foreign ministry spokesman Mawien Makol
said the ministry summoned the DRC ambassador in Juba to explain the action
by his country. Makol claimed South Sudanese airspace was violated during
the evacuation process.

“We summoned the Congolese Ambassador in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
because we were protesting on the border limitation that happened last week
when the forces belonging to the former First Vice President crossed the
border with him,” said Mawien.

“They [DRC] entered with a flight into the border without the knowledge of
the government of the Republic of South Sudan, so that thing of course
annoyed us and we have explained to him that this is what happened and he
is going to convey the message to his country and that we were not informed
about the coming into our border with the flight from Congolese. So they
shouldn’t come to our airspace without getting permission from this
country,” he added.

   The President and his government should help South Sudan more by working
   towards peace and economic development.
   It is madness to keep plotting to kill the first Vice President of the
   transitional government of national unity according to the peace agreement
   Kiir signed.
   Kiir dishonoured his office if he signed that agreement while plotting
   to murder his partner in peace

   He is just in the next Northern Door. Secondly, how did he managed to
   exit in Juba in the first place? Thirdly Congo DR is being run by foreign
   powers and Kabila’s son has little room to maneuver in DRC, has only heard
   it from the news and has no knowledge on whether Machar actually entered
   and exit the Country. Fourthly, NIF regime in Khartoum did all the
   operation from lifting him off inside SS.

      NIF regime in Khartoum has been feeding this rebellious lover from
      A-Z being arms or politics just in revenge against South Sudanese 98.7%
      voting for Independence. This is all the Khartoum made with supports from
      the regional and international Allies and this what Mustereb
al-Siddiq was
      doing in Juba as an Ambassador of NIF in Juba whilst Juba has to
appoint a
      new Uni Graduate in Khartoum as Amb.

         Riek Machar was allowed to get away from presidential palace at J1
         to his home by president Kiir as a good gesture. We shouldn’t
be surprise
         that he got away to Khartoum; he was given that green light
to live from
         the beginning! If Riek is wise enough; then he should stay in Khartoum
         because he is not going to be lucky the third time around!

            Force 1,

            You asserted on this forum sonetime back that Dr Machar was
            dead. How naive could claim here that "he was given that
green light to
            live from the beginning!" Given green light by who, if I
may ask? Are you
            also say that Dr Machar is invincible? Lol!

               Eastern;

               You either don’t read or understand written English; what I
               said was; "Riek Machar is dead; unless I see him on
live TV on BBC"! But
               according to your own inadequate comprehension of
written English ; you
               think I said Riek is Dead!

   well, that’s what happen when we are not in control of our territory. I
   suggest this information two weeks after Machar left the town, but my
   suggestion was ignored. Remember UN is against success so they will do
   anything to serve their interest. Where did the guns in containers came
   from last time? DRC. Than it is not surprise to hear this. We should cut
   off our relationships with DRC.

      Well, General, cutting relationship is one among other options that
      South Sudan’s government can consider, but DRC is not managed by one
      Congolese authority. Instead, DRC is being managed by Kabila’s
Son in some
      parts of Kinshasa, vast parts under UN and pockets are managed by Rebels
      like Riek himself. So, it will be hard for SS government to deal
Kabila who
      has no knowledge about this saga.

   the country using an aircraft coming from Congo as a violation of
   international law. Mr. Michael Makuei, his really understanding
   international Law, somebody in risks member of UN will help that person
   that is not illegal in international. But what S. Sudan government doing
   it’s promoting Dr. Riek Machar to be President, mark

      Ngadodo. How will he do it. Firstly dinka and their allies are over
      60% of national population. Therefore he will not win whether through
      election or rebellion. In fact he is more likely to die than become
      president. Laws of the universe can not be break. So riek with his
      primitive ngundeng prophecies are best children play book not reality.

   Leadership of President Salva Kiir, its illiterate leadership run by THE
   SUPREMACY OF JIENG COUNCIL OF ELDERS (JCE) IN SOUTH SUDAN
   , not parliament of nation with creation of tribalism, his didn’t
   delivers good things more than 10 years, Juba National city doesn’t have
   basic need like good hospitals, sanctions, diseases like Vibrio cholera
   permanent in Juba.

      We know that President Salva government is a corrupted Government
      including Machar when he was vice President,but Machar is traitor who
      killed memberous South Sudanese in 1991-2002. Corrupted traitor,Serial
      killer cannot be an alternative to corrupted patriotism.

   All Congolese should be repatriated back to their country and no Congo
   citizen should be allowed into South Sudan territory.
