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.

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 repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61927&id_forum=364910> - 19 March 03:34, by Paul Ongee 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. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61927&id_forum=364911> - 19 March 03:44, by Paul Ongee 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. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61927&id_forum=364912> - 19 March 03:56, by Paul Ongee 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. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61927&id_forum=364913> - 19 March 04:03, by Paul Ongee 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. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61927&id_forum=364914> - 19 March 04:13, by Paul Ongee 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 repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61927&id_forum=364915> - 19 March 04:20, by Paul Ongee 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. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61927&id_forum=364917> - 19 March 04:28, by Paul Ongee 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. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=61927&id_forum=364918> - 19 March 05:07, by South South Eastern, Look to your stupidity!!!

He knows the affairs of South Sudan better than any foreign leader. No body should doubt what the son of Kaguta has said. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
