Jieng Council of Elders rejects Deployment of Regional Force in South Sudan
Apr. 22 Politics, Uncategorized 3 comments
APR/19/2017, Press Release;
The adoption of Resolution 2304 by the UN Security Council on August
12, 2016 barely a month after Riek Machar’s unsuccessful third coup
attempt on July 8, 2017 was a serious mistake by the world’s body as
it missed a great opportunity to help South Sudan in its quest for
peace and stability.
In the view of the Jieng Council of Elders (JCE), this move is
flagrantly un-constructive and conspicuously fails to recognize the
sovereignty of the Republic of South Sudan and the will of its people.
The Resolution is sadly a hollow and misguided regime change agenda
that certain powers would like to effect in our beloved country.
Feeling a bit emboldened by the passage of Resolution 2304 by the
Security Council, proponents of the Neo-Trusteeship international
administration in South Sudan and their supporters managed to convene
a series of hearings before the Foreign Relations Committee of the
United States Senate on September 20, 2016.
The aim of these hearings was to foster better understanding as to the
feasibility of the establishment of international administration in
South Sudan under the auspices of the United Nations and African
Union.
Among the notable “experts” that presented to the Senate committee
were Dr. Paul R. Williams and Kate Almquist Knopf.
Dr. Williams acknowledged that there is no legal framework for
Neo-Trusteeship but erroneously recommended that it might be a viable
means of creating peace and stability in South Sudan.
In a way that directly links the regime change agenda in South Sudan
with the so-called Regional Protection Force, Williams added,
“neo-trusteeships typically require a robust and sustained
peacekeeping presence.”
On her part, Kate Knopf recommended the establishment of
“international transitional administration” in South Sudan under the
United Nations and the African Union for 10-15 years.
Ms. Knopf went on to state that any opposition to UN/AU transitional
administration could be mitigated through:
1) Negotiating President Kiir’s and Riek Machar’s renunciation of a
role in South Sudan politics.
2) Leveraging important constituencies’ frustration with President
Kiir, Machar and their “cronies to gain these constituencies support
for transitional administration.”
3) “By deploying a peace intervention mission with credible coercive force.”
Suffice to say that judging from the position cited above, the
Regional Protection Force is clearly a tool for invading South Sudan
so as to effect a regime change agenda in South Sudan.
Simply put, everything from the level of armament and mandate given to
the Regional Protection Force smacks of the regime change agenda,
which we are strongly against.
Moreover, the area of operation for the force, which is Juba, is
chosen purposely as a first step towards the establishment of
Neo-Trusteeship in South Sudan.
In our view, the Resolution would actually foment animosity among the
people of South Sudan. Among other shortcomings, the Resolution would
disrupt internal peace processes and embolden the armed opposition
against the government, hence, more discord and disunity in our
country.
If allowed to happen, this situation would certainly spell more
suffering for our people.
The Resolution essentially gives this force unfettered powers and an
unlimited freedom “to use all means necessary” to meet their
operational objectives, a condition that undermines both the security
of ordinary citizens and the power of the state and government.
Instead of a constructive engagement premised on genuine dialogue, the
proponents of Resolution 2304 have now made it abundantly clear that
they intend to place South Sudan under the so-called UN/AU
Neo-trusteeship, an idea that a few disgruntled South Sudanese
politicians with their foreign allies, all of whom are hell-bent to
effect a well premeditated regime change agenda through illegitimate
means.
According to these elements, since they are defeated politically as
they have successfully displaced themselves out of the government by
their wrong political calculations and misjudgments, they prefer that
it is better for the country’s independence and sovereignty, which
claimed a million lives of our martyrs, be turned over to foreign
bodies like the UN/AU.
In short, it is either their way or the highway.
To reiterate, Resolution 2304 is an affront to the South Sudanese
people, as it aims to usurp their hard-won independence and
sovereignty.
In terms of its content and objective, this misguided document claims
to want to fix South Sudan’s crisis by allowing foreign forces to take
over the security of our national capital, Juba, including the
airport.
On some unrealistic and baseless grounds that the security environment
in Juba has worsened since the last tragic and violent events that
unfolded on July 8, 10-11, 2016, the world body is trying to sanction
an illegal activity – taking over and placing a sovereign and
independent nation under a UN trusteeship.
As a member of the UN family, there is no any legal basis whatsoever
for the Republic of South Sudan to turn over its hard-won independence
and sovereignty to anybody in the world.
This includes the UN, which is not allowed by its own charter to usurp
power of any member state such as South Sudan.
While it may be true that the security environment ins still fragile
in South Sudan in a way consistent with that of any post-conflict
recovery situation, nothing warrants the deployment of any additional
force besides the UNMISS 13,000 forces already on the ground.
On this note, the world should be informed that following Riek
Machar’s third failed coup attempt this post July and consistent with
Mr. Machar’s third failed coup attempt this post July and Mr. Machar’s
demonstrated recidivism into political violence of catastrophic
magnitudes, the security situation is not bad as anybody would like to
portray, particularly in Juba where the UN envisions the need to bring
additional 4,000 troops as called for in Resolution 2304.
In light of the aforementioned grounds, the Council strongly rejects
in its entirety Resolution 2304, because it is a ploy to exacerbate
discord amongst and suffering of our people.
It gives foreign forces a blank check “to use all means necessary” so
as to achieve the establishment of the so-called Neo-trusteeship,
which others are openly advocating for.
South Sudan does not need foreign troops, who are bent on toppling the
government but it rather needs the international community to support
the Transitional Government of National Unity to consolidate peace in
order to restore decent livelihoods to our people.

Here we go again. The traitorous Jenges Council of Evils vice
chairman, Dau Diu mockingly calling the third failed assassination
attempt on Dr. Riek at J1-palace on July 8th, 2016, “Riek Machar’s
unsuccessful third coup attempt on July 8th 2017”. But in reality, the
July 8th, 2016, the day, the Evils Council initiated a deadly
assassination attempt on Dr. Riek’s life, was infact the third
unsuccessful attempt by the traitorous Jenges Council of Evils to kill
Dr. Riek. First attempt-August 29th, 1991, and second attempt–December
15th, 2013.
Also, the traitorous Jenges Council of Evils are shamelessly
claiming that the security situation in South Sudan is “Not that
Bad”—because the people being killed and displaced are non-Dinka
ethnic individuals. This council of Evils isn’t completely aware that
the world is fully informed that Wau-Rajah-Fertit-lou land,
Cholloland, Yei, Nuerland, and Parjok which are burning right now are
part of South Sudan. Of course, they know it, but the Council of
evils’ ultimate goal is ethnic cleansing of non-Dinka tribe and grand
destruction of all non-Dinka areas period

Gatdarwich,
Why are u unhappy with your création?
If u have read Dr Nyaba’s Last article,it’s the centeral thème of
the same article that has perfectly translated into the events of Wau
and far beyond.Set the cause of the death of the generals apart and
it’s good to know that even Jur Chol fellows are marauding guning down
jieng in compromised security conditions.
Things have reached the point of no return and well informed
masses are embracing for the worst which only God knows what it will
be.
It’s irresponsable then to ignore that u and me and Dr Nyaba are
all good targets for MTN and counter MTN hunting.
Go call ngundeng to tell God to stop it if u deem the UN useless
instead of barking which wouldn’t change the course of the events.

False Millionaire,
The two commanding Generals, traitor Par, and Machut of killer
NyanKiir’s tribal militias in Wau were nailed in the battlefield with
the Freedom Fighters. But I know you, the traitorous Dinka are
exceedingly happy slaughtering non-Dinka civilians within your reach
when shit gets hot with your cowards–tribal militias in frontlines.
Pure manifestation of cowardice nature. Yes, I am glad you
acknowledged that, you, the traitorous Dinka have collectively agreed
that you’ve reached a “point of no return”. The ball is clearly on the
targeted tribes’ courts to effectively implement counter-measures of
your ethnic cleansing campaigns against them!
As per Prophet Ngundeng, yours–traitorous Dinka’s D-Day is
eminently coming period
