The Ethiopian official made the remark on Monday during a meeting he
held with South Sudan’s Petroleum Minister Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth on
ways of ensuring peace and security in the war-torn country.
Gatkuoth, the Ethiopian News Agency reported, delivered a message from
South Sudan President Salva Kirr to Dessalegn, the chairperson of the
regional bloc (IGAD).
According to Gatkouth, Kiir’s message was mainly about the
implementation of the forum his country signed with IGAD in 2015.
“The South Sudanese government is implementing the forum as it
promised and the aim of the forum is to restore stability in the
country,” Gatkouth said.
The two nations, he said, will continue to cooperate in all spheres of
activities.
"For us, Ethiopia is a strategic country and a partner, and we will
always continue to rely on Ethiopia for all things that could happen
in South Sudan. It is Ethiopia that brought peace and stability to
South Sudan," added Gatkouth.
The Ethiopian Prime Minister urged the South Sudanese government to
work towards the full restoration of peace and stability in the
country and solve the nation’s problems in a more inclusive manner.
According to Dessalegn, all-round public participation is of crucial
importance in seeking a political solution to the current crisis.
He further noted that Ethiopia and South Sudan share extensive common
borders in which peoples of the same nationality, like the Anyuak,
live on both sides of the border between the two countries.
Peace and stability in South Sudan are crucial to Ethiopia, the
Ethiopian Prime Minister emphasized, adding that Ethiopia will not,
therefore, allow South Sudan’s government to plunge into total crisis.
South Sudan has experienced a civil war since a bitter split between
President Salva Kiir and his former deputy, Riek Machar, escalated in
mid-December 2013. Tens of thousands of people have reportedly been
killed and over 2 million displaced in less than five years.

"The South Sudanese government is implementing the forum as it
promised and the aim of the forum is to restore stability in the
country,” Gatkouth said. This nyagat must be out of his mind. I
thought by back-stabbing Dr. Riak, he and nyagat Taban-el-jellab have
now peace in the country. What happened? Dr. Riak is coming soon, for
sure! Nov. 15 2017.
