[image: PNG - 200 kb]*Lt. Gen. Thomas Cirino Swaka, the ex-SPLA deputy chief of general staff for training (youtube photo)* Lt. Gen. Thomas Cirillo Swaka, in a letter addressed to the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation claimed the peace process initiated after August 2015 “has clearly failed, resulting in the current tragedy”. “NAS is ready to actively participate in any new initiative,” Swaka wrote. “Without this, NAS might find itself in a situation where it has no other choice but embark on a military campaign to dislodge the regime in Juba,” the letter adds. Similar calls for the re-start of South Sudan’s peace process have, in the past, been made by other armed groups like the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) led by Riek Machar. The Sudanese army general who quit his position last month announced on Monday that he had formed a new anti-government rebel group, as pressure continues mounting on the regime in Juba. Lt. General Swaka, formerly deputy head of logistics, resigned after he accused Kiir of turning the country’s military into a "tribal army." The military, police and other security branches, he said, heavily recruited from among the Dinka, Kiir’s tribe. Swaka was one of three top military officials who quit in February amid accusations of tribalism, nepotism, corruption and other abuses leveled against Kiir’s government. In a statement on Monday, Swaka said NSF "is convinced that to restore sanity and normalcy in our country” and Kiir “must” leave. The chairperson of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC), Festus Mogae has renewed the need for inclusivity in the Transitional Government of National Unity (TGoNU) in order to stop the war and avert further spread of famine. Speaking during a plenary meeting at the Crown Hotel in Juba on Wednesday, Mogae told the JMEC Plenary in Juba that this was a defining moment in the East African nation. “Whether by design or default, a war is being waged around this country and the security and humanitarian situation continue to deteriorate. How do we stop the fighting? How do we stop innocent people dying of starvation? And how do we ensure that the interests and concerns of all South Sudanese communities are fully represented and considered? Peace, relief and inclusivity,” he told the plenary session. In his speech to officials from government, United Nations, China, European Union and the Troika trio of U.S., UK and Norway, the former president of Botswana pointed to the interconnection between fighting, starvation and the death of innocent civilians. Rival parties in South Sudan signed a peace agreement in August 2015 and formed TGoNU in April 2016. However, fighting erupted in July 2016 forcing the former First Vice President and leader of the SPLM-IO, Riek Machar to flee the young nation.

Whether people die in the forest, in towns by "unknown gunmen," ambushed on the roads, or in refugees camps, all are our brothers and sisters. CPA succeed when both sides have to compromise on the table since Khartoum can’t destroy SPLA and SPLA can’t capture Juba. How I wish we learned from war-wary Khartoum. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61908&id_forum=364771> - 16 March 10:41, by Mohamed I agree with Angelo 100% Any bullet shot is a waste of badly needed resources to build a country. Negotiations are the only way to resolve a crisis. People should address corruption to avoid any more trouble. Any leader willing to fight corruption with an iron fist should be given the presidency. Otherwise ...back to square one again. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61908&id_forum=364774> - 16 March 11:26, by aborigin Angelo and Moha, This is the campaign any able bodied South Sudanese should embark on, i appreciate your reconciliatory tones because if we realize we need one another then the hatred, war, tribalism, corruption shall by itself diminish.

Gen. Thomas Cirillo Swaka, First of all, you were not under threat from anybody within your circle or SPLA itself, let put it. So, the question is, if you didn’t opted for war or any other sound violent, then why have you rebelled, in the first place? What if no one wanted to re-start the so called peace process as you narrated? instead waited waited in j1 and keeps feeling you pockets with $ repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61908&id_forum=364782> - 16 March 19:39, by Eastern Kush natives, Gen. Cirilo rebelled to break the status quo. Gen. Cirilo might have been free from any other threat but how about his fellow Equatorians? Gen. Cirilo is a hero in coming out to join the suffering masses who are under threat in Kajo KEJI, pageri, Yei, Yambio, Torit, Wau, Juba, etc. Gen. Cirilo had a very good security but not the masses he has feelings for! repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61908&id_forum=364800> - 17 March 01:08, by Kuch Mr. Eastern, forming an armed rebellion is easy but running it successfully is a different thing all together.

But these ways will need a willing country in our region to be used by these groups as a conduit for their arms to reach Equatoria.
