Rwanda, Kenya and Ethiopia are preparing a military force to intervene in South Sudan, an Ethiopian official said Friday.

South Sudan was hit by renewed violence between government forces and former rebel troops that left hundreds dead earlier this week, leading to fears that the country’s two-year civil war could be reignited. A four-day cease-fire is currently holding.

Getachew Reda, Ethiopia’s communications affairs minister, said the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), an eight-nation African trade bloc, would meet to discuss restoring peace to South Sudan.

The body set up to oversee a peace deal signed last August between President Salva Kiir and Riek Machar -- the former vice president who has now been restored to his role in a unity government -- has made a similar suggestion.

“There will have to be a summit,” Reda told reporters at his office. “IGAD has called for a cease-fire but has also called upon troop-contributing countries to strengthen [an international] brigade.”

He said 14,000 troops would come from Rwanda, Kenya and Ethiopia following a UN request.

“It has also called for peace enforcement mandate because it has to protect civilians,” he added, noting that the UN compound in South Sudanese capital Juba had been mortared during the recent violence.

The past month has seen an armed confrontation between Kiir’s forces and troops loyal to Machar.

The suggestion of foreign intervention in addition to the current UN peacekeepers was rejected by Kiir on Thursday.

“What do you need more forces for?” he said in a news conference. “What will they come and do? The United Nations Mission in South Sudan has so many foreign troops. So we will not accept that.”

Unasahau jinai walilofanya waarabu wa kaskazini dhidi ya wakusini tangu milele. Na kwa zile vita vyao vya ukombozi binafsi naona ulifaa maanake walikandamizwa sana nchini mwao, kisa itikadi zao na mila tofauti na wakaskazi.

La hili mpya, naona huyu Machar katumiwa na makampuni ya mafuta kusudi waibe zaidi iwepo atapata madaraka. Yeye ukumbuke alishawahi kuisaliti harakati za ukombozi enzi za akina garang wakiwa porini vitani. Bado anashikilia urafiki na mabosi wake Khartoum.

Bila kusahau shujaa wa vita ya ukombozi ambaye pia ni Baba wa Taifa la Sudan ya Kusini, Mzee Kanali George Garang alikulia na kusoma Tanzania elimu ya sekondari huko Lushoto na pia Chuo Kikuu cha UDSM Dar es Salaam,Tanzania.

Pia vikao vingi vya usuluhishi baina ya hao jamaa wanaopigana sasa vilifanyiwa Tanzania.

Hongera sana Rwanda, nchi ndogo lakini inajitutumua ndani ya majitu.
Hongera pia nchi yangu Kenya maana tumewabeba sana hawa Wasudan. Pia asante Ethiopia kwa juhudi hizi zao.

Bila kuwasahau Uganda, jameni tusiruhusu Sudan Kusini waangamie.
