South Sudan burns as world watches

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - 00:00 -- BY AFP

JUBA: South Sudan's army yesterday said it was battling rebels in three key states, as insurgents blamed for massacring hundreds of civilians in attacks last week continued an offensive targeting oil fields.

The rebels seized the town of Bentiu last week, unleashing two days of ethnic slaughter as they hunted down civilians sheltering in mosques, churches and a hospital, according to the UN. A week after the fall of the capital of the key oil-producing state of Unity, government forces said they had been forced to pull out of another major settlement nearby amid furious rebel attacks.

"The battles have been very heavy in Unity state," army spokesman Philip Aguer told AFP, adding that troops made a "tactical withdrawal" from the town of Mayom, a strategic local centre made up of dusty roads and thatch huts, some 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of Bentiu.

South Sudan's army has been fighting rebels loyal to sacked vice president Riek Machar since the unrest broke out more than four months ago. The conflict has an ethnic dimension, pitting President Salva Kiir's Dinka tribe against militia forces from Machar's Nuer people.

"The fighting is ongoing, we are close by and will not let the rebels advance further," Aguer added, insisting that the army remained in control of major oil fields and the country's refinery, also in Unity state.

Bodies of South Sudanese killed at Bentiu being collected for burial. About 1,200 were killed by SPLM soldiers. ​

In Bentiu, the United Nations reported Monday one of the worst atrocities in the war-torn nation. Toby Lanzer, the top UN aid official in the country, told AFP after visiting Bentiu he had witnessed the "most terrible sight".

"There are piles of bodies lining the streets where they had been executed, in the market, outside and inside places of worship... the majority wearing civilian clothes," Lanzer said Monday.

Heavy fighting was also reported in the eastern state of Jonglei, and in Upper Nile in the northeast, with Aguer boasting the army had repulsed the attacks and killed scores of rebels.

"In Upper Nile... the number of rebels killed was 48," he said, claims that were not possible to independently verify.

"In Jonglei... the fighting was heavy but the rebels were fought back," he added. The conflict in South Sudan, which only won independence from Sudan in 2011 and is the world's youngest nation, has left thousands dead and forced around a million people to flee their homes.

The fighting has been marked by reports and allegations of atrocities by both sides, with ethnic massacres, child soldier recruitment and patients raped and murdered in hospitals by attacking forces. But the rebels rejected the accusations, turning the blame instead on the government.

"The government forces and their allies committed these heinous crimes while retreating," rebel spokesman Lul Ruai Koang said in a statement, while praising the "gallant forces" of the rebels.

"Claims that our forces are responsible is unfounded, cheap propaganda," he added. -

Prime Minister wa South Korea amejiuzulu kwa kushindwa kulishighulikia vizuri swala la ile boat kuzama.

Tunaona viongozi wengi wa ulaya wanajiuzulu kwa kushindwa kutimiza wajibu wao.

Kwa haya yanayotokea africa, nathubutu kusema waafrica tumelaaniwa au tuna ujinga number moja.

Madaraka kitu gani? Hatuna accountability in out government.

Wewe unafikiri kwamba hatuna accountability kwa nini? Issue ni kwamba madaraka yanamfanya mtu analewa anaona yeye ni kila kitu na madaraka yanamfanya mtu kuzungukwa na marafiki zake kwa hiyo hata kama litokee janga gani hakuna wa kuwajibishwa

Hata hao wa ughaibuni wanaojiuzulu walikua na hayo madaraka. Ni pumba tu za Kiafrika, utafiti wa hivi majuzi ulionyesha Afrika inaongoza kuwa na nchi zenye IQ ndogo kwa watu wake.

[Masanja]

This is a clear indication how a human mind can breed unimaginable evils when pushed to the limits.

This is sad by any iota of human imagination.

We cant wait for western countries to rescue us. Africa must mobilise to save its own.

Jamani mbona Africa inaporomoka kwa kasi? It seems all gains we have made for the past twenty years in rule of law and democracy, have simply dissappeared in flames. Sad.

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad) will soon hold its summit in Juba, South Sudan, immediately afterface to face talks between President Salva Kiir and Riek Machar.

Speaking when he held talks with President Salva Kiir and Ethiopian Foreign Affairs Minister Tedros Adhanom at State House Nairobi on Saturday morning, President Uhuru Kenyatta made it clear that Igad will not accept fragmentation of the ongoing peace talks on the South Sudan crisis.

President Kenyatta who is the Igad rapporteur said the face to face talks will take place in the shortest time possible.

President Kiir who arrived in the country on Friday to attend the fifth Northern Corridor Integration Projects Summit briefed President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto on the talks he held with the visiting US Secretary of State John Kerry in Juba on Friday.

He said Secretary Kerry appreciated that African countries are better placed in resolving conflicts afflicting the continent and more so the Igad-led initiatives in South Sudan.

Mr Adhanom who later arrived in country also briefed President Kenyatta and President Kiir on the talks he had with Secretary Kerry.

In the briefing session which was also attended by Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs Ambassador Amina Mohammed, the Ethiopian Minister said Secretary Kerry expressed US commitment to supporting the Igad-led initiatives in resolving the South Sudan crisis.

As the Chairman of East African Community, President Kenyatta has made it clear that Kenya and the EAC will not stand by and watch the possibility of genocide in the region.

Through his efforts as the Igad rapporteur to the South Sudan crisis, President Kenyatta on January this year secured the release of political prisoners who had been detained by the South Sudan government.

SI ndo ujinga tulonao sasa...ni wapi Afrika imeanzisha vita western country? Kwa nini tunakubali watushikie akili? Wewe mtu atakwambia pigana na jirani yako huku yeye yuko mbali anashadadia unakubali? Kama si ujinga ni nini?

Hawana haki kabisa kwa kuwa migogoro almost yote wanaianzisha wao, anzia Rwanda 1994 ilikuwa kazi ya Marekani,DRC ni kazi ya Marekani, Burundi mwaka 1993 ni kazi ya Marekani, Savimbi ilikuwa kazi ya Marekani

EAC inahusika vipi hapo? Kwani South Sudan ni member?

Afu Uganda si walishaeleka majeshi kule kitambo; au waliyatoa?

EGAD iliktaa kuipa support Uganda; hiyo move yake ikaonekana ni kwa personal interests za Uganda au M7

Seriously where is IGAD, EAC, AU and even UN?

 

[nyumba kubwa]

Na tuendelee kumuomba Mungu hawa wanasiasa wetu wasitu influence...amani ni nzuri sana; ila haina thamani ukiwa nayo....mpaka ikutoke

Poleni South Sudan. Umimiu kabila na u binafsi ndio umewafikisha hapo. Inshaallah Sisi watanzania hatuhitaji na wala hatutofika hapo.

President Salva Kiir is the main cause of all problems in Southern Sudan. He is the one who has sidelined Riek Machar who was his Vice President. He knows that Riek Machar comes from the largest tribe like him and has so many followers from Defence Forces and others sectors. The only solution is two of them to sit together and reconcile and reinstate him as Vice President.

 

[chash]

They fought for independence so they are now soooo free that they can do whatever they want, including killing each other. Truth be told many countries struggle to maintain their independence and what they call their sovereignity but all they do is a few leaders making themselves lords over the rest of the citizens, destroy the economy grab all they can, and the masses wallow in poverty and starvation earning under a dollar a day... and we are supposed to be happy and accept that we were born to suffer.
