Subject: {UAH} U.S. urges removal of foreign fighters from South Sudan
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Saturday expressed concern over
reported violations of a shaky ceasefire agreement between South Sudan's
government and rebel forces and urged the removal of foreign fighters
engaged in the conflict.
Thousands of people have been killed and more than half a million have fled
their homes since fighting erupted in December in a conflict that has
brought oil-producing South Sudan to the brink of civil war.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the United States is "deeply
concerned by reports of violations by both the government of South Sudan and
anti-government forces" of the ceasefire deal.
"We urge the redeployment or phased withdrawal of foreign forces invited by
either side, and warn of the serious consequences which could result from
any regionalization of this conflict," Psaki said in a statement.
President Salva Kiir's government and rebels loyal to his fired deputy, Riek
Machar, agreed to the ceasefire on January 23, but both sides have since
accused each other of violations.
Regional and world powers worry about the potential for a spillover of
violence in an already volatile part of Africa. South Sudan declared
independence from Sudan in 2011.
The rebels have accused government SPLA forces and fighters from the
Sudanese Justice and Equality Movement - a rebel group from north of the
border - of razing Machar's hometown, massacring women and children as they
fled. The government also accuses the rebels of flouting the ceasefire.
An advance team sent by east African nations to monitor the ceasefire
arrived in South Sudan last Sunday. Violence erupted in the capital, Juba,
in December before spreading across the world's newest nation.
Psaki said the United States welcomed the arrival in Juba of the first
component of the monitoring team, adding that "we strongly urge the
government of South Sudan to facilitate (the team's) important work, which
will provide both sides with a mechanism to report any breaches of the
agreement."
Psaki reiterated a U.S. request for the government's release of the last
four of a group of 11 detainees held on suspicion of trying to stage a coup.
"The expeditious release and transfer of all of the detainees would reduce
tension and build confidence in an inclusive reconciliation process," Psaki
added.
