December 12, 2016 (ADDIS ABABA) – A diplomat from the opposition
faction of the South Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement (SPLM-IO) on
Monday called on the regional bloc IGAD member states and the world
not to turn a blind eye on the atrocities allegedly committed by
President Salva Kiir led regime in Juba.

In an email exchange with Sudan Tribune, Miyong Kuon SPLM-IO
representative to UN in New York alleged that government sponsored
wide ranging atrocities are being carried out in Equatoria state and
else where in the country.
However he said the international community has given little attention
and urged to the international body to launch probe into it.
The two rival SPLM factions signed peace deal in 2015 however
commitment to implement it has become a major challenge leading for
continued fighting and suffering of the people.
“The ARCISS has been hijacked and abrogated by the regime,” Kuon said
adding “We have nothing left there to implement unless an inclusive
approach is taken and the 4,000 force allowed in Juba is deployed”.
The Opposition official further urged the international community to
condemn the forceful removal of Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC)
humanitarian chief out of the country.
The NRC he said had been instrumental in providing humanitarian aid
and in saving the lives in South Sudan since 2004.
“Removing its chief out of the country is another tool used by the
regime to increase the suffering of the people affected by war,” Kuon
added.
Meanwhile the office of SPLM IO Deputy Representative to the United
Republic of Tanzania commended Ethiopian Prime minister, Hailemarian
Desalegn for calling on his counter-parts to have the IGAD head of
states meeting to address issues of peace and stability in the region
with South Sudan and Somalia on top of the Agenda.
In a statement extended to Sudan Tribune the Tanzania mission office
welcomed the decision of the IGAD head of states to revive the August
peace agreement.
“It is the only way to ending the suffering of our people and bring
about peace, stability and prosperity to our country and people,” it
said.
It said any peace implementation that excluded opposition leader, Riek
Machar won’t bring durable peace and stability in South Sudan.
SPLM/A IO Deputy Representative to the United Republic of Tanzania,
Peter O. Kleto said there is a tendency by a small clique in Juba to
remain in power at all cost at the expense of the suffering of masses.
The group further opposed a remark made by government official who
said the transitional government is more harmonious after the
Departure of Riek Machar from Juba.
“This statement is unfounded and false concocted to mislead South
Sudanese and the world,” Kleto said.
Instead the opposition official added that the security and economic
conditions has become worse after Machar was chase away from Juba.
He urged the leaders of IGAD, AU and the wider international community
to put pressure on President Kiir to accept a “genuine peace”.

Indeed peace in a war situation can not be achieved by friends.
Peace is got when antagonistic belligerents compromise and abandon
violence. As it stands today Kiir’s militia is butchering Equatorian
civilians. He hand picked speaker and members of assembly, ministers
to form a "YES" government. This can not be accepted by patriotic
citizens. Peace will be realised with truth behind it.

Jur The Majority of Nuer abandoned Dr. M rebellion because it
is not the first time for Rick to create such division among South
Sudan. For eg, In 1991, Rick and Lam instigated coup which they called
Nasir faction and that rebellions didn’t go anywhere, just end up in
Khartoum. I was in Khartoum that. His arrival was really jubilant for
us because we thought that he gonna deliver leadership.

Gatluak,
Riek Machar is blamed for things that are not reasonable
for blame. In 1991 Riek wanted a pro people movement in which people
choose their leaders and the direction of the struggle and that is not
bad. Secondly in 2013 he wanted to set a ground for unbiased
competition for leadership of movement but he got fought against. Here
who is wrong? I believe the system is.

Gatluak Jal must be a confused Dinka impersonating himself
in Nuer names to ameliorate his character. However, that wouldn’t help
him as his reasoning betrays. The result of 1991 is what kiir, Taban
and JCE is destroying, the SS. 2013 and 2016 are kiir made war and
don’t need scapegoating.

What is going on in Equatoria region is not government killing
civilians , but government hunting down rebels, and if what is going
on in EQuatoria is not the rebellion, then whose are those claiming
the capturing of towns around Yei? Yes they are rebels, and if they
are rebels then government has a right in full capacity to destroy
them, full stop.

Before you destroy them ask yourself is a baby a rebel?
What about an elderly women? How about mad people, are they rebels
too? If you say yes then you are an idiot. This war of occupation
should not be camouflaged as war for sovereignty. No sovereign country
kills its citizen for positive criticism for a good governance. Ours
is a Joke and must be changed. The cost is huge for progress.

Dear,jur_likang_a_ likan’g you are right on this sense, no one
on this Earth who should feel happy about the suffering of innocent
people such as what is happening In Equatoria region.I’m not feeling
okay about it but the civil population in Yei are shielding rebels at
the expense of their own life, if they know the existence of rebels in
the their areas, then let them associate with government.

The problems of South Sudanese can’t be solved by foreign
countries, we need our own solutions to our problems. bringing more
foreign troops to the country will complicate matters.
