IN SUMMARY

  • President Salva Kiir, in an interview with the BBC last week, expressed his frustration with neighbouring countries for their failure to sanction military intervention to help him quell the rebellion led by his former deputy, Dr Riek Machar.
  • Kenya and Ethiopia have resisted Kiir’s appeal for military intervention, opting to pursue diplomatic options.
  • So far, it is only Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni who favours the military option. Rwanda last week announced that it would be sending more policemen to South Sudan and Darfur to boost the already existing mission there.
