Salva Kiir and Riek Machar hold the fate of the people. Again. (X)
In order to enter the independence of fifteen years from the north, South Sudan is a sediment – will it be dragged again or withdraw to the war and fully implement the 2018 contract, which ended the first civil war? President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Riek Machar agreed to share his power – but not much did not happen.
Now in the upper Nile state of the country, the bullets are flight again and bombs. Kiir and Machar are once again on opposite sides.
More than 20 civilians were killed in the air bombings of a city near the Ethiopian border, near the Ethiopian border in the upper Nil, last week. Locals have accused the bombing authorities, claiming that South Sudan and Ugandan, settlements are intentionally targeted. Both government forces like Kiir and Machar and Uganda are also seen as both the allies, but also Machar, but also Machar and Kiir.
At the beginning of this month, government forces were faithful in the attacks from Nasirar’s White Army, mainly from the Nuer people of Nuer. In the incident, the UN helicopter was hit by a crew member who evacuated people from Nasir and serious injuries to others. The Agesa Bodies, White Army, the White Army officer, the White Army officer, executed an officer of the South Sudanese army.
President Kiir has joined the weapon with the Uganda Army to fight the rebels since then. Machar arrested many of the government of Kiir, the vice-president’s government, or strengthened hostile safety to his house.
In theory, Kiir and Machar are in the same government and the same political organization, the People’s Salvation of South Sudan (SPLM). The Machar faction is called SPLM to the opposition (SPLM-IO).
The violence in the upper Nil was first declared that the government announces its plans to recruit soldiers for a long time. Local Militians who are now required to be fully integrated in the national army are now rejecting the mandatory disarmament and the government’s plan.
It was agreed in the 2018 Power Sharing Agreement between Kiir and Machar, but it did not happen to create a single national force. This delay shows that Machar’s camp has some public sympathy – even the war, even the war is carried out by a militia that has a history of ethnic violence.
First of all, the warriors want no one want to return to the full-scale war. The last announcement of SPLM-IO’s 2018 peace regulation increased concern.
“The arrest of opposition leaders must protest, but should not be out. The government’s lack of economic requirements, the probability of the probability of war, Ibrahim Kuol, Juba University, he said.
The coalition of Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, England and the United States, recently offered to hold direct talks between the United Kingdom and the United States of Kir and the United States.
Previously attempts – the leadership of the intergovernmental body in the development of the regional bloc did not allow the efforts led by peace talks in Rome and share the power to prevent the current escalation in Kenya and Ethiopia.
Again, the alternate is terrible. In 2015, the differences between Kiir and Machar, 383,000 in the conflict, died 383,000, the country affected by 6 million people in 2017.
As in the last memory, the two sides did not return to war. Defense Minister General Chol Thon Balok said: “If you do not solve the White Army, we will fight.”
Ugandan’s armed forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, “I want to give the white army to be surrendered to the UPDF. But you will all die.”
However, people who are directly affected by violence are hit by a different note.
“Both sides should stand. The redness period ended. My heart was broken.”
