June 4, 2017 (JUBA) – A South Sudanese rebel faction base in the
country’s newly-created Yei River state country on Sunday signed a
peace agreement with the government to end months of fighting.

The accord was signed by Brig. Gen. Hillary Edson Yakani on behalf of
Sudan People’s Liberation Army-In-Opposition (SPLA IO) while Maj. Gen.
Marshal Babanen signed on behalf of the Juba government.
The armed opposition faction, according to a communiqué issued after
days of negotiations in the Uganda capital, Kampala declared a
permanent ceasefire that takes effect from 5 June, 2017.
Babanen vowed to implement the signed agreement within 18 weeks,
further adding that the rebels fighting in other states of the world’s
youngest have expressed willingness to abandon rebellion.
South Sudan’s cabinet affairs minister, Martin Elia Lomoru and
generals from both warring sides attended the Kampala gathering.
In March this year, however, South Sudan’s armed opposition faction
loyal to Riek Machar distanced themselves from armed rebel groups who
negotiated a similar agreement with Juba in Kampala, Uganda.
The negotiations were reportedly aimed at forging a new separate peace
deal between the Juba government and the rebel faction.
Gabriel Lam, a rebel deputy spokesman, was quoted saying groups that
meet in Kampala were individual of refugees status who fled to Uganda
and denied they had connection with the armed opposition faction
allied to Machar.

The most important thing out of this "peace talks" and "agreement"
is the outcome. Will the Yakani-Babanen accord hold and lead to
citizens enjoy peace?

This fake deal of South Sudan will finish this nation, how
come a criminal sign a peace with Gov,t while the real SPLA-IO is out
on the move? If no Dr Machar, no peace at all.

FAKE things like the Yakani-Babanen, Kiir’s national
dialogue, the imposed 32 states, etc delay peace in South Sudan. Any
South Sudanese who remains silent and doesn’t rise against bad
governance is complicit. Let us rise as one entity and work for
genuine peace in which ALL SOUTH SUDANESE MUST BE INVOLVED!!!

It’s paining you very hard, but who care about your poor
opinion. Our country needs peace and we must work for that. Eastern,
just go and drink salted water from ocean near you.

South South,
It’s not about me; it’s about South Sudan. There is no
peace with all these underhand methods at play. You will soon realise
that the Kampala accord was a wasted time. Have you just seen what was
purported to have been another deal coming up in Eastern Equatoria
fizzled out. The war rages on.....

It’s all about you, but you can’t see that. This peace
accord in Kampala is a real one. IO who signed it are asking for 18
months to be implemented. Any citizen of SS will give them a chance,
then say whatever you want to say if they fail. Just rage on your
internet war.

Nothing of that kind.
An individual quislingism with JCE can’t be enunciate as
"rebel faction "
Brush aside this cooked up news.
Struggle continues!

According to our Informant, the bogus meeting took place in
two different Locations in Kampala and was NOT attended by any Ugandan
officials neither the Equatorian community representatives nor jienge
representatives from Kiirminal regime except Dr. Elia Lomuro, Gov.
David Lokonga and Bishop Elia Taban. Fugitive IO demanded that the
jienges open the closed and dangerous Kaya-Yei route

..our informant said, that Dr. Lomuro was furiuos and told
the fugitive IO to open the Kaya-Yei on their own and expect little
from Juba, afterall they have their forces. It appears the fugitives
have no army and cant open the route. Recently the nyors were flushed
out of Kaya by Riaks IO and the route to Morobo is out of bounds for
jienges (nyors). Stay tuned.

Hopeless guy is barking, but peace is moving forward.
People of South Sudan are happy with this peace, Yei community is
happy, government of SS is happy, then who is not happy with this
peace in Yei? Maybe 2 or 3 guys hiding outside the country. Do people
of SS really care about their opinion? No, they are useless.

South South,
If you cant settle the shit in your jienge
backyard between the Apuk and Aguok, who would be interested in
settling any peace deal with jienge hirelings? Just bullshit. What
These fugitives are doing is just paying lipservice to Gov. Lokonga
who is an obendient jienge hireling and Surrogate. FYI: Many nyors in
Yei area are deserting quitely cos of lack of food and exhaustion.
Great!

Stop your stupidity man. Apuk and Aguok are
not after other South Sudanese, they are after themselves. Peace in
Yei is a real one. If you do not like it, then cry or keeping writing
in internet, that’s all what you can do. If SPLA are deserting Yei,
why don’t you enter Yei now? What a wicked coward hiding in USA and
make all these empty noises in internet.

South South,
Read www.paanluelwel.com or nyamlie.com
for further details on Apuk vs Aguok tribal fights. First of all, I
distinguish between jienge (nyors) and the true SPLA who are not
involved in this shit. Unless all true SPLA have now been replaced by
Malong´s worthless luakjienges, then ofcourse nyors=SPLA. That is sad.
Can you go home now?

jubaone,
Don’t be silly!!! Just try to enter
Yei now. Stop nonsense and these wicked excuses. SPLA is ready to
teach you very dear lessons. I am home stupid man. I move among South
Sudanese towns and cities as I want. It’s my country, Juba, Wau,
Aweil, Tonj, Yambio, Yei, Bor, Malakal, Bentu and all of that are
mine.

A congenital jienge liar and
awkward dreamer who drifts idly in the streets of Kampala or Nairobi
and cant return to his luak. It´s over man just remain a fugitive 4
the rest of ur jienge life. You get 2ur luak, you starve, you come to
Yei, you get gunned down as MTN. what else? Just hang or kneel down.

Luak=Barn=Livestock, only
civilized communities have these things. I am so proud my Dinka is one
of these communities which own Live stocks. I live in South Sudan, I
will live in South and I expect to die in South Sudan. My country is
very beautiful.Uganda and Kenya are for others, not for me. Yei is
under our government control. Yei community wants peace. Enjoy your
Diaspora man.

Jubaone,
This is a sign of desperation by Jieng government in
J1 that is embarking on propaganda war by getting the needy people
from refugee camps and label them SPLM/IO members to confuse the weak
in the struggle for humanity, compassion and freedom. People should
avoid this.

Jur,
According to informed sources there are four IO
brigades in Yei County: Yei, Morobo, Lainya and Kajokeji. Brig.Gen
Yakani doesn’t command any of them. No one knows of such a field
commander anyway. Apparently he could have been a junior officer who
desperately wanted some recognition then was used by Gov Lokonga to
fake a deal. Just confirmed that. No worry. Recently over 25 nyors
were killed

Jubaone, Mi diit, and Eastern,
The deal was designed to render those filthy
ones a way of consuming DOLLARS, that is how they corrupt our
resources. Anyways, lets hope for the best to our country.
