Editorial: Kiir has returned to full scale war in Greater Equatoria

By Justin S. Kwaje

November 21, 2015 (SSNA) — In the onset of the current Civil war, the JCE stated their goals clearly and publicly, first to take care of the Nuer then they will come and finished the easy job in greater Equatoria.

As the War slows down in Greater upper Nile regions, Kiir Intensified and escalated his carnage in Wondurba, where Woman and children are living in the bushes, young men are rounded up and many disappearing without traces.

In Western Equatoria, the Arrow boys and Civilians in and around Yambio and Ezo have never faced such constant onslaught than of recent days since the peace deal was signed into effect. In fact it is a mockery when Kiir declared cessations of Hostilities but yet intensified killings in Central and Western Equatoria.

Now to top it off, the last 48 hours, Kiir’s planted another coup, this time against the Civilians transport system with intentional targets of Ugandans and Ethiopian, So he can go after the SPLA-IO Eastern Equatoria Divisions led by Gen. Martin Kenyi.

The Killings of the Ugandan and Ethiopian in the bus ambush was meant to cause the Uganda and Ethiopia authorities to turn a blind eye to Kiir’s Violations of the peace deal as he purports to go after those who kill their nationals. We must take our hats off to the JCE for having learned well and exceeding from their former masters the Jalabs. The sophistications of their evil planning against conational are torrential and dizzying, leaving us in disbelieve!

From the recruitments of the national guards, None Existent Coup, trick in the hat of the 28 states to this killings of foreigners in a bus ambush, many South Sudanese are caught off guards and do not realized a group worse than the Jalabas has taken hold of our existence.

Juba has returned to a full-scale war in Western Equatoria states and the last 24 hours, Kiir has opened a three front attack in Eastern Equatoria State, Magwi County. Battles raged from Ame Junctions to Ako Mountain and Pageri, Supported by Helicopters gunships and jamming of cell phone towers. Per reports from the battlefields, Kiir penetrated the base of SPLA-IO, to their surprise finding a well-prepared group with a whole day gun battles ensuing into the nights.

The exhausted Army sustained heavy loses and had to rely heavily on their helicopter gunships to give them covers as Nimule Barracks refuse to give reinforcements. Number of losses from both sides could not be confirmed.

We call on IGAD to rein on Kiir and to respect lives and doing so means upholding the compromise peace deal.
