Not Signing IGAD’s Proposed Peace Deal is Better Choice to Make for President Kiir

August 24, 2015 (SSB) — It is good and imperative for H.E president Kiir to refuse signing the IGAD Proposed peace deal, because the mainstream, South Sudanese who voted for him to presidency in several States of South Sudan, including those state affected have comprehended the disadvantages of signing it and are opposed to it. Leaving alone individuals former detainees-G10, rebel crooks, SPLM in Opposition who are searching for short cut to a lofty leadership of the country.
The citizens expressed their voices and opposition to it in their mass demonstrations all over the Republic of South Sudan. As such President is mandated to reject the proposal. Signing this IGAD compromise peace deal, in other hand, will increase the presence of foreign forces in South Sudan particularly in the capitol-Juba specifically Troika and NATO on top of UN forces, leaving government not to defend itself, under any threat.
While already present UN forces had almost pushed our country to mayhem by contributing to catastrophe through boosted Dr. Riek Machar’s Power struggle to coup against the elected President Salva Kiir, in connection with former special Representative, Hilda Johnson to UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon, it already has remained an enormous threat to our freedom, liberty and prosperity. However, no one needs more foreign boots in the country.
Currently in the country, UN forces already have now created themselves automatic mandates, claiming immunity not to consulting the government for a renewal or bided by the supreme laws of the country. Under this mandate, South Sudan government faces the threat of strolling UN military tanks and mounted patrol vehicles on the streets of Juba, Bor, Malakal and Bentiu with assumption of harboring citizens in the so called UN- Protection camps; even when a situation in the country is calm, prior to their adopted reservation policy to purposely deplore and undermine the capability of our government to run itself and to protect its people.
Finding ways through this Peace deal or predicted future mess, to impose their interests against contracted China to mine mineral in South Sudan, perhaps on oil or to meet endured, grappled mean to reimburse themselves on past material supports to South Sudan during CPA or elongated 21 years liberation struggle, Troika countries’ troops will want to bypass UN forces due to the neutrality clause of UN security forces and to start stepping boots on to our country by turning it to be their operation base and to also potentially intimidate East Africa as whole.
Now the invincible mighty army, the SPLA of South Sudan have defeated and cleared rebel groups out of key towns of: Bor, Bentiu, and, Malakal in Greater Upper Nile , leaving SPLM/A-IO under stressful conditions; consequently, pitting them to start fighting among themselves e.g. Gen. Tanginya vs. Olony’s loyalists &Gen. Peter Gatdet’s vs. Dr. Riek Machar’s loyalists in separate bushes of greater Upper Nile, while others are battling their egos to choose either whether to surrender to the government or remain in bushes or flee elsewhere.
Ironically, driving by their interests, since the rebels is conquered, instead for our President to declare mission accomplished and amnesty to receive back home the rebels of SPLM/A-IO and G10 as attempted in Arusha SPLM party reunion agenda, Troika countries of USA, UK and Norway, behind the scene, hastily inserted pressure on IGAD to push the designed compromise Peace agreement in favor of rebel of Dr. Riek Machar, and G10 to allow them back to the country to regroup and recommit more other atrocities than they did in 2013-2015.
Not only should the compromise IGAD peace deal is to rejuvenate the sobbing groups of rebels to meet their engineered causes of stagnating South Sudan in chaotic setting, but will permit international forces of Troika to supervise the capitol of South Sudan for period of 18 months and to leave the President Kiir to have almost equivalent number of soldiers guarding him to his rival Riek Machar only in Juba, which could make him more vulnerable to get captured or assassinated by foreign forces or through their influences.
Although this is implemented, yet still there is no going to be common bindings to hold these South Sudanese parties together: Bishop Salva Kiir, Republic of South Sudan, Snaky Fox Pagan Amum Okech of former detainees and Dr. Hawk Riek Machar of SPLM/A-IO, not to fight. The prospect of fighting to resume will be eminent.
However, in collaboration with UN forces, Troika will use money and forces to let Snaky Fox Pagan bite President Bishop Salva Kiir on his un-booted ankle, and while Kiir focusing on treatment of snaky bit pain, Dr. Hawk Machar will want to snatch the country in a hand of the President Bishop Kiir as characterized by his past unconscious routine to project political upheaval again.
On this cause, foreign forces will pressure to put the country under protectorate of UN to assassinate our sovereignty for a number of years, accompanying by oil for food program, mandatory drilling of South Sudan oil to feed Internal Displaced people- IDPS, and to pay for security and to maintain a long stay of the foreign forces in the country.
But surprisingly, what East Africa leaders (IGAD) do not understand and shortsighted about is that, South Sudan’s problem is not South Sudanese problem alone, but for all, because South Sudan is economically accommodating immigrants from Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia by enhancing their lives here, however, loosing South Sudan to violence and neo-colonization will create more rebellions, chaos in the neighboring countries like Somalia’s issue propelled over to Kenya.
Before her invasion, Somalia has a good port for import and export. It had competing force in East Africa, and it was economically self-reliant, but in the name of claimed refusal of humanitarian access to the country’s tribe of Somali-land that opposed the leadership of the country, NATO led by America invaded Somalia in 1993 and in 1996 killed their President Gen. Mohamed Farah Aidid.
The Arab League, IGAD, UN organizations and many others attempted several peace and reconciliations between the betrayers and betrayed in Somalia, yet nothing has appeared to have been achieved 1993-2015, 22 years to present. Somalia is more divided than ever before, and it has become a leading example of failed State in the world, stigmatized with piracy and Al shabab terrorist’s organizations.
Furthermore in the name of democracy, humanitarian access, freedom, weapons of mass destruction, Nuclear weapons, with hidden agenda of economy related war, foreign powers of Troika, NATO invaded or by proxy destroyed Libya, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt and many other countries to face the continuous challenges of recovery.
G10 and SPLM in Opposition’s interests should not be accepted to invite more destructions, and neo-colonization to three years old country-South Sudan. The well they dig will be filled with all of us, not the President alone. Troika, NATO, UN forces neither know Nuer nor Dinka, Equatorians; they only know oil and a threat of potential power.
Mr. President, don’t sign it, South Sudan is behind you, death is once and for all. Bravo President Salva Kiir Mayardit, you have taken a right path of your people. We will die on it. It is the right route, but South Sudan will never be the same again.
