UN Mandate Ought to be Revised in South Sudan
By Deu Lueth Ader
February 17, 2015 (SSB) — It has recently manifested itself that UN in South Sudan has deviated out of its real Mandate which is a provision of relief or humanitarians assistance to the position of internal covert cell executing rebels’ agenda. The charges levied on UN by the Government since 2005 up to now have shown that UN might have been supporting annihilation of this Nation; UN as an international neutral body ought to stand in the middle of any crisis emerges in any country without bending on either side such that peace prevails.
I am constrained by the time to outline the offenses committed by UN against our sovereignty, but the solely unpleasant attempt made by the UNWFP Helicopter just recently when it took the chairman of the Bureau of Statistics and Census and two other humanitarian workers to the rebel held area, compelled me to air out this piece of writing to the public.
The position of UN de facto in dealing with the political unrest in the country remains vague over the years, I would not forget in this juncture to appreciate and praise the robust decision taken by the leadership of rebels to release the innocent civilians whose routing from Panyagoor (Twic East County) to Juba was changed to ‘Jiech’ one of the rebel’s held areas intentionally by the UN-WFP crew for the purpose known to them.
Rebel’s leadership must be praised, for they would have easily crucified them but God protected them from the tyranny of their bad-wishers. The intention behind this attempt by UN was emasculation of the peace efforts should they were subjected to any misfortune, such that fighting is revived afresh, but it is now crystal that there is a sort of rapprochement from warring parties when the rebels released a top government official Isaiah Chol Aruai.
Hence, what UN has all along been doing would develop skepticism between them and the Government, for what UN resorted to is not what it has been invited for in the CPA.
However; our brothers in the SPLM-in-Opposition dealt responsibly with the captives knowing beyond doubt that UN is instrumental the conflicts in country.
