"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
South Sudan’s coat of arms, in which the eagle symbolizes vision, strength, resilience and majesty, and the shield and spear the people’s resolve to protect the sovereignty of their republic and work hard to feed it.
If there is a conspiracy theory that suggest that the purported AU report was authored by Khartoum, then I would be happy to entertain it.
Contrary to what we have been made to believe, it is not about who committed which atrocities and war crimes in South Sudan, it basically questions the creation of South Sudan as an independent state, a decision squarely blame on the Troika countries—USA, UK and Norway.
AU-administered South Sudan? How about trying that out first in Somalia, Libya, CAR or even DR Congo before coming to South Sudan? There is no legal basis nor a military power within the AU or in the world to implement such a recommendation.
The administration of Iraq by the USA never produced democracy, security or development. AU better than the USA?
I have no problem if the two principals and their former ministers are barred from the interim government but it should be up to the South Sudanese to decide among themselves who and how they should be ruled.
And finally, I am curious how the AU will get to Juba: by force?
