March 18, 2017 (JUBA) – The Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni said the
conflict in South Sudan would only come to an end if the parties at war
return to the negotiating table, stressing that a war would not solve the
problem.

“The warring groups must hold negotiations aimed at two things, holding
elections and reforming the security sector,” said Museveni on Friday
during a meeting with a visiting the Chinese Special Representative on
African Affairs.

The Ugandan leader appreciated the involvement from the Chinese government
in the process of seeking a way to end the conflict in South Sudan. “We
discussed the situation in South Sudan. Glad China is taking interest in
this conflict,” he said.

According to President Museveni’s official twitter account, he met Xu
Jinghu, the Chinese Government Special Representative on African Affairs
and her delegation on Friday at the State House.

President Museveni, who has been a lifeline and the only close political
ally in the region of President Salva Kiir for the period of conflict in
the country, attributed the conflict in the country to the leadership
failure to guide the people of the country, stating the group did not have
clear headed leadership.

“The main problem in South Sudan is ideological. The groups there do not
have a clear headed leadership to guide the people about their future. They
push the pseudo ideology of sectarianism of tribes & yet this is
detrimental to the people’s well being. Force can’t solve the conflict,”
said the Ugandan leader.

Museveni called on the “warring groups” to hold negotiations with the aim
to establish a security sector and hold elections. His call for negotiation
follows a similar call made by American lawmakers on President Donald Trump
to appoint a high Special Envoy.

12 United States Senators and Congressmen, in a letter dated 24 February
2017, called on US newly elected President Donald J. Trump, to appoint a
new high-level Special Envoy for South Sudan and Sudan with International
Status to bring the “urgently needed diplomatic leadership to international
efforts to achieve a sustainable peace in and between the two countries”.

The Senators also called on the Africa Union through its high-level
representative to South Sudan, to reinvigorate an inclusive political
process to end South Sudans’ conflict. While President Donald Trump is yet
to respond, the regional leaders have begun to talk about inclusive process
instead of taking side.

Omar Hassan el Bashir, Sudan President called for an inclusive political
process, saying that South Sudan would not have peace without including the
leader of armed opposition, Riek Machar. Bashir said that Machar controls
wide areas in the country.

South Sudan President Salva Kiir also indicated his readiness to pardon
Machar if he denounces violence.

      Ya ST,
      Don’t mislead your readers, peace can come to South Sudan without Dr
      Hopeless Riek Machar.. Believe me or not. Khartoum knows pretty well that
      it is using Riek Machar to keep South Sudan destabilized. Khartoum knows
      that Riek Machar will never ever take over power by violence since 1991.
      What proves that the allegations of Khartoum that peace will
come to South
      Sudan only by Riek Machar. He

         Khartoum has been using Riek Macahr and Lam Akol who betrayed
         SPLM/A since 1991 and signed KPA-1997 without perceived implementation
         until Riek Machar came back to the SPLM/A main stream in 2002
in Nairobi to
         Dr John Garaang de Mabior to be simply forgiven and
reinstated into his
         position. Khartoum should not think that the real SPLM/A (not
IO-Riek) are
         stupid to agree with its claim.

            Khartoum is using any Junubin knocking on its door looking for
            military logistics to keep South Sudan destabilized. South
Sudan will never
            be ruled by traitors like Riek Machar and his cohorts.
Believe me or not. I
            am not a politician but telling the truth. Now retarded
Nuer are getting
            resettled in the West because of blindly following tribal
politics of Riek
            Machar who is grounded in S.A.

               Riek Machar has already lost his right eye and the left eye
               is also affected with cancer, not only because of using
violence and
               constant shift of allegiance but also because of
preaching tribal politics,
               Khartoum must first implement KPA-1997 that it has
signed with Riek Machar
               in 1997 before it pokes it nose in South Sudan’s
political affairs.

                  If we ask ourselves since Khartoum has been using some
                  Nuer militia war lords during the struggle, did it
achieve its objectives?
                  No. Why? Because Khartoum is regretting separation
of South Sudan but
                  strategized politically only to keep South Sudan
destabilized. Khartoum
                  Knows pretty well that any Junubin military General
defecting today or
                  tomorrow will never make any difference.

                     The politics of regionalism or redivision of 1983
                     which coincided with the beginning of SPLM/A on
May 16th, 1983 is surfacing
                     among ignorant Equatorians and other Junubin who
believe that it’s time for
                     fake military ranks and employment opportunities.
Just waste your time.
                     President Salva Kirr will stay in power for
another ten years if security
                     situation is not right for holding democratic elect

                        The majority of Ethiopian Nuers who claim to be
                        South Sudanese Nuers are now getting resettled
in the West to adapt to
                        another new lifestyle. Now most Nuers in
Nebraska are claiming that they
                        are Ethiopians Nuers not of South Sudan but
keep preaching negative
                        politics because they know that they are not
from South Sudan.

                           Any politics of South Sudan based on tribe will
                           never achieve anything but continued
bloodshed and famine that constantly
                           draws attention of UN humanitarian
agencies. In war time someone has to be
                           defeated and in peace time someone has to
be defeated by democratic
                           elections. Otherwise there is no any
short-cut to the top national position.

   The groups there do not have a clear headed leadership to guide the
   people about their future. They push the pseudo ideology of sectarianism of
   tribes & yet this is detrimental to the people’s well being. hahahahaah

   Museveni has hatched the egg that is full of evil but was kept concealed
   by him from the world community. He knows the affairs of South Sudan better
   than any foreign leader. No body should doubt what the son of Kaguta has
   said.
