February 5, 2017 (JUBA) – Several experts have cautioned over the
proposal to place South Sudan under United Nations trusteeship, saying
the young nation was not yet at the level that calls for international
takeover.

The proposal to put under the U.N for an interim period gained
momentum after the renewed clash broke out between the country’s
warring factions in July 2016, which saw hundreds killed and nearly
two million people displaced.
Placing South Sudan under the U.N trusteeship implied the world body
will govern the country for a specific period before handing it back
to its people.
This proposal came from ex-government officials, citing the worsening security.
Some government officials have, however, dismissed any possibilities
of foreigners taking over the country, which gained its independence
in July 2011.
“It is our right. It is our country. We fought for it. We achieved the
independence through referendum. The people of South Sudan decided for
their country. So nobody is better than the people of South Sudan,”
South Sudan’s presidential spokesperson, Ateny Wek Ateny told Reuters
in an interview.
“There are always minority voices that would hope for something
totally different from what the majority of people of any given
country say,” he added.
Uganda on, Thursday, rejected any move to militarily intervene in the
war-torn nation, saying such interference will make the country’s
security situation worse.
South Sudan broke into conflict in December 2013. The conflict has
killed thousands of people and driven more than 2 million from their
homes.
Currently, over 200,000 people are still sheltered in U.N camps in
parts of the country.
In 2014, South Sudan President Salva Kiir accused the U.N of seeking
to take over the country and speculated that is mission in South Sudan
(UNMISS) may have pushed his political rival, Riek Machar, to rise up
against the Juba government.
EXPERTS WARN OVER TRUSTEESHIP
Remember Miamingi, a South Africa-based law expert, argued that
conditions in the young nation are not yet at the requisite level for
International Transitional Administration (ITA), but backed calls for
government of technocrats.
"Even though I believe that in some extreme cases of state failure ITA
might be an appropriate remedy, I intend to argue here that South
Sudan is not yet a very good case," he told Xinhua.
Miamingi said international trusteeship succeeded only in countries
like East Timo and Kosovo, where warring parties had reached mutually
hurting stalemates, and with significant domestic constituencies that
were willing to consent to ITAs.
"ITAs should more likely be considered only in the event that a
territory contains a true vacuum of political authority; domestic
political agents are fragmented to the extent that collective action
via UN-facilitated power sharing is impossible; political actors are
too violent or untrustworthy, or because they have violated
foundational internal norms and covenants," said Miamingi.
According to the law expert, ITAs for South Sudan should be the last
resort for an extreme form of limited statehood.
"Other options should be tried first before frog jumping to the other
extreme. One such alternative is a technocratic administration of
South Sudanese with support where needed, from the international
community," he said.
He further added that such technocratic government could be
responsible for overseeing the healing, reconciliation and
accountability processes, ensuring political and security stability,
and providing normative and institutional frameworks for successful
transition.
Meanwhile, South Sudan’s former deputy defence minister Majak D’ said
there was urgent need for roundtable conference outside Juba to bring
all the country’s warring factions to chart a new road map for the
war-ravaged nation.
"The first premise to restoring peace is to recognize that the peace
agreement has been fractured and for peace to return a fresh break is
needed," he told Xinhua.

Stupid Experts, not like me who is a really Expert in such ground.
You fail to put Somalia under UN trusteeship. So, is South Sudan case
worse than that of Somalia if you are not foolish?
We have very strong commanders who can take South Sudan forwards,
otherwise, if you don’t want a sound of guns, please slaughter Kiir
Mayardit, once he makes a visit outside this country.You will how S.

Sir king,
South Sudanese people are waiting for you and your guys when
you will enter and fight them. South Sudan is a sovereign and
independent state and don’t think myopically that international
communities or foreigners you are taking money from will help you to
overthrown Juba government. Be a peace lover and South Sudan will
return into normalcy and not war as you think.

Mr. Akuma,
The most powerful tool on earth is ignorant and stupidity.
There is no way we are going to live with the fools like Majak Agoot,
Pagan Amuom, Aduok Nyabe, Lam Akol and some of their rubbish in
between. Uncle, we had already bombed our enemies. Let the fools bring
their rubbish back into our country and we will show the fools their
right place>>>

there are some fools in our country who still worship
the Europeans, the so-called juus, ethiopians, North Sudan, English
people, their evil juus, their evil corporate America and some of
their evils in between.
Fellows, be very very careful. We are going to bomb
the mighty US, Saudi Arabia, island of England, the so-called israel,

- But saying of trusteeship a foreign voice, supported by
foreigners called EQUATORIANS. Equatorian idiots like Bakosoro are the
one advocating for this dirty colonial move. Finish all those who
struggled for this independence South Sudan before handing over this
country to corrupt, nepotistic, segregated and UN of gossiping. I
never knew that UN is the most corrupt organization in the world.

Take it on! Equatorians are not foreigners in their own land.
The war will become very interesting when waged along that direction.
You dinkas will have to fight for your survival from all four corners

We must commend all our Equatorians for a job well done.
In all "jienge free zones" we have driven them off and you realize the
Collo and Nuers and non-jienges in WBG are also doing a good job.
Whether SS is placed under the UN, we have unfinished business to do -

Sir King, it is not new for these people to sell out this
country, they had been selling it to the Arabs during the struggle for
the independence. now the independence is achieved, they are selling
it again to UN. The big question is " is UN fair in term of
administration?" the Answer is NO. look now, the recruitment for
UNMISS is very corrupted.
almost UNMISS clears are concubines to them

UNMISS HR is very corrupted. they have what they manual
agreement, meaning that your wife can have sex with anybody as long
they are agreed but the right husband can not question his wife. is
that how fair the UN?.
If the UN takes over the following will happen:
1.squandering all natural resources.
2. takes all our wives.
3.takes all our young girls.
4. we all lost our very rich cultures
5.colony

Sir King,
Well, you urgently need counselling. But as a jienge, that may
be unecessary as you are unteachable, insensitive and just hopeless.
The only viable solution is just KOKORA. Perhaps then, you can still
run your "rump" state called "Jiengestan". There you dont need any UN,
kill, eat and bury yourselves, that´s your jienge business.

The scavengers will not be allowed to sell this country to
international brokers at any cost. death is death, and no amount of
deaths is tantamount to the lost of nation sovereignty. what is so

Just relax man, no one is going to take the name of SS away.
You will still remain a SS and the UN will give you plenty of food,
what Kiir and his lazy jienges cant provide. Think of your village or
luak: without schools, hospitals, electricity etc. the UN will make
all that possible.

Nobody hides in the global west; we are keeping tubs

skyrocketing prices and the dwindling purchasing power of the SSP is
not a war waged from the west. Physical armed combats are taking place
across the country...

Lotodo Awino Odug,
Even idiots in school try hard to learn but
have limits. Do you know how to stabilize an economy? What parameters,
institutional or organizational structures should be in place? Do you
in SS have an economy in the first place? Such like you are just equal
to house pets: created to eat, drink and shit. Please leave the
thinking to us cos we have the brains.

Do your homework first before you release these
kind of statements. All countries which have oil are struggling
economically. Take Venezuela, prices are very high, people can not
afford to buy food. In Nigeria, government workers are not paid for
months. In Uganda, a liter of fuel is about 80ssp. In Juba today, a
liter is 22ssp. You’re talking about war, come to South Sudan and do
not run to Ugand

Nobody from Muonyjang(Dinka) likes Kiir Mayardit to remain in power,

- EQUATORIANS:
If we talk of EQUATORIANS in the history of Sudan and now South
Sudan, they have been known for their stabbing at the back of their
brothers and sisters for the aim of Food. They like eating more than
any other thing in their lives. You can not talk about them here.
Remember during the 21 years war of Sudan. Arabs armies used to forced
them(men) out of their houses and they(Arabs)..

- Arabs slept with their wives, daughters, sisters, and mothers,
but they did not do anything. This is something so harassing and
belittle all of EQUATORIANS. Shame on you!
EQUATORIANS never know that Dinka have done something good by
liberating them from all cruel attitudes of Arabs. Dinka also did good
thing by bring a CAPITAL CITY to them for them to benefit from it.
repondre message
6 February 09:36, by Sir King
- Now, a CAPITAL CITY is going away soon, you will know how you
will suffer in the face of your lives. Human being should be a
creature that differentiate between bad and good things, but not in
the lives of EQUATORIANS. Mind you me, you will soon regret your
attitude towards Dinka. Dinka people have never been bad, but you will
make them bad.
Now you just say, we don’t want Dinka in your region.
repondre message
6 February 09:41, by Sir King
- Now you foolishly say that "We, EQUATORIANS don’t want Dinka in
Our regions" When indeed you have filled Dinka territories. Do you
think you are wise? Foolish indeed........

I love this only that the commentators are abusing it. Who doesn’t
know the difficulty under UN Trusteeship. It is not just a one day
business and it will cost us another referendum for UN to leave. Stop
celebrating blindly youth. Our country is not a test of all UN
innovations. We need them but not to rule us. Kiir and Riek will go or
agree and we shall be safe. Keep hopes alive. No trusteeship!
