ADDIS ABABA ACCORD: A TEST OF POLITICAL SUPREMACY IN SOUTH SUDAN
4 min readTo be, or not to be: that is the question.
Whether it is noble in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes,
Or to take arms against the sea of trouble S.Sudan,
And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep
No more and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to such consummation
Devoutly to wish would be, to die, to sleep,
To sleep; perchance to dream.hahahahaha! There is the rub,
For in the sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off Normality of this mortal coil.
Must give p pause; to get respect for all
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time
The oppressor is wrong, the proud man is contumely
The pangs of despised love, the laws delay
This insolence of office and spurn that patient merits of the unworthy take.

Since the country falls into political pandemonium after the failed both genocide and coup, the international community did not take a reluctant phase to bring peace back to south Sudan. Many pens are emptied in inking unrespectable agreements of supremacy between the Sudanese’s people liberation movement SPLM/A and SPLM-IO.
The negotiators have to rethink why it took long for the parties to reach comprehensive peace agreements while the negotiation started one month after the conflict erupted. There are many reasons that peace failed to be achieved. These reasons have to be ratified and re-strategized by the inter-governmental authority on development (IGAD) and EAC bloc before the next sessions kick-off. Failure to do that would lead to square one at all means.
The first reason why parties spent almost 4 months on the arrangement of transitional government of national unity, powers of the president, proposed prime minister, and vice president is the manner in which the SPLM-IO aggressively pursues a set of terms to which the SPLM-IG must either walk away or declare a full scale war because the government views that a successful negotiation cannot be attained if one party pushes other in unrevised brinkmanship which the other negotiating party is unwilling to accommodate. It was when the government detects that the rebels are taking their competitive nature and can win up the price that they set a negotiation as a‘ project’ to force the rebels to re-evaluate their own opening offer or to move close to the resistance point, or else the waste time would not impact the Juba’s administration.
Secondly, the SPLM-IO present an issues of little or no importance to them to be important and traded for major concession of actual crucial in order to confuse the SPLM-IG on what to dwelt over as what they are overwhelmed by the negotiating party seemed chicken and bogey that requires defence in depth to avoid signing what is poorly comprehend. This demand sound “hard nut” to the SPLM-IG as it does not use the law of relativity to attract cooperation and continuation of the process at their expected course as government.
Thirdly, those political mites and military head-strong fellows in Juba felt hated when they calculate the impact of power sharing between the government, rebels and fox detainees. The piece-of-tips that they grant to their colleagues at negotiating table is to reach more disputable agreements within the framework of their hided law in juba. They view fighting as smart reason then ‘splitting the baby’ for the interest of one tribe against the whole nation forgetting that the peace is much paramount to many south Sudanese scattered over strange places.
Fourthly, Confused ventures of dead organisms position on contemporary situation is a claimed epitome of south Sudanese’s interests and needs which is just hyena agenda among the innate Hares. Why neutral and demands for share? The neutral are South Sudanese citizens who demand nothing than peace while the perpetrators of conflict are the ones demanding for power sharing and positions. A claimed neutral person is always a devil of rights, a gossiper of what does not favour his/her interests. A pretender of perfect and welfare of vulnerable dilemma citizens. The two warring parties could not reach deadlock because what so-called detainees acts as guide dog to SPLM-IO.
Fifthly, the Juba’s teams had been working day and night to ensure that the obstacles to peace agreements are presented clearly at the negotiating table to delay any go ahead so that a chief of staff and defense minister get a plenty of time in making adequate military preparations to launch more offensive attack against the SPLMA-IO not knowing that the SPLA-IO were able to practice the similar methods. The government ridicously expects that the rebels will confess the defeat and return to juba without power sharing which remain up to date as burecratic snafu aborted hope.
