Kampala, March 5, 2017 (SSNA) – In an exclusive interview on Sunday, a former Ugandan intelligence agent told the South Sudan News Agency (SSNA) that Egyptian government is actively pursuing a sneaky military strategy against Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and that Egypt is also assisting South Sudanese government in its war against the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army-In Opposition (SPLM/A-IO).
James Moises, the former intelligence operative alleges that Egypt and Uganda mutually agreed last year to achieve what he described as “two different interests. Moises went into details, explaining why Uganda and Egypt joined forces against Ethiopia and South Sudan’s armed opposition.
“First of all, Egypt’s diplomatic campaign to stop Ethiopia from constructing GERD has failed. Secondly, Uganda failed to destroy South Sudanese rebels. These two different interests are the ones uniting Cairo and Kampala,” Moises said. Adding, “Addis Ababa must not believe Cairo and Kampala when talking about anything related to GERD.”
“This is a sneaky strategy against the Ethiopian government,” he asserted.
Moises revealed to the SSNA during the interview that Ugandan President first proposed to the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in December 2016 that if Cairo agrees to give Juba weapons and ammunition it wants to defeat the SPLM/A-IO, then Uganda would support any campaign Egypt wants against Addis Ababa. He further disclosed that Museveni even promised el-Sisi that he has what it takes to bring on board other East African countries to back-up Cairo.
Egypt supplies South Sudan with weapons and ammunition
Moises also disclosed that Egypt is supplying South Sudan with sophisticated weapons, ammunition, and modern military equipment, adding “Kampala manages Cairo military aid to South Sudanese government.”
This is not the first time James Moises make claims like these.
In July 2013, about four months before South Sudan civil war broke out; he wrote an article exposing Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni meddling in South Sudan internal affairs. His piece caused panic in the entire East African region and around the world and widely credited for exposing Uganda’s troops presence in South Sudan before the war erupted.
Moises also warned in November 2015 that the August 2015 peace deal would not succeed, saying South Sudanese president Salva Kiir and his Ugandan counterpart Museveni had already drawn up a plan to prevent the implementation of the agreement. He then disclosed that Kiir and Museveni’s scheme to frustrate peace implementation would include first agreeing to IGAD and the international community brokered demands, allow rebels to come to Juba, and then start a war in the capital.
Last month, the rebel military command accused Egyptian air force of carrying out air attacks on its positions in Kaka town in Upper Nile. Cairo denied the allegations.
South Sudanese rebels also alleged in January that Egypt and South Sudan had strike a dirty deal, alleging the pact between the two countries includes a secret sabotage campaign against Ethiopia’s GERD.

This should not be a surprise. Politics is all about interests. Egypt stands for Egypt so is Uganda but what about us? Kiir is working for Uganda and now Egypt. What are we doing to instill nationalism in South Sudan against the onslaught of tribalism orchestrated by Kiir? We need to get rid not only Kiir but his system in order new national institutions can be implanted in the country. At first SPLM/IO seemed to lead the way but now it seems they have become silent. Equatoria, Bahr el Ghazal need defensive weapons. Weapons must come by all means for defense. Otherwise it is not wise to fight a war that a defeat is eminent. Kiir can be got rid of by means that brought him up. If SPLM/IO fails its responsibility then a people’s resistance that is capable of bringing justice, peace and independence must grow up to fill the near political vacuum we are now experiencing. We need to get stinger missiles to get rid of those helicopter gunships and leave every thing on the ground.
Any force, evilagreemes and backbite strategy shall not stop Ethiopia from going forward or its developments. Cairo will see its shame if goes hiddenly with Campala.No one can stop us from building our Dam.
you mean build tigre
This is truely dirty game…. Shame on you so called poloticians
The war in SS proved to be too hard for both Egypt and Uganda, hence their objective is hard to come by. I think they need to restrategize coz war in SS is intensifying at a faster rate each day, despite abetting Kiir with ammunition medical kits. al-Sisi and Museveni are committing atrocities in a foreign country, UN must hold them accountable and stop them forthwith.
Kiir will never achieve peace in SS whether politically or militarily coz of his fragile and disillusioned memory tainted with war, he statue is tantamount to guerrilla warmonger not a statesmen. This is demonstrated by recent unveiled national dialogue where he declared himself patron. How can you be patron of peace when you continue to butcher the pple ? even the composition of his peace commission demonstrates his inability to lead the war torn country. the opposition was isolated, therefore how can he bring peace with his friends? As a result of his arrogance he can try it but the results will be catastrophic.
Salva kiir will be defeated, mark my words
He proved that he is not well trained leader. He does not know politics. It is enough that he went far to middle east to find someone evil and sneaky to support him. In many ways there is no any point that bind them together. They have no shared border, they are Muslim and Christian, they are Arab and African. The most racist country are Egypt. The most liers, thief and vandal in the world are Egypt. Kirr doesn’t know any part of them and yet he wants partnership.
People of south Sudan want total peace God will punish whoever is working for the destruction of south Sudan. Shame on all the countries that has interest in south Sudan.
It is important for Sub-Saharan countries to understand that Egypt has never been interested in us. They especially don’t care for black Africans. Historically, they have been puppets of the British and now the Saudis. Sisi wanted to give the Saudis an island in the Red Sea.
Egypt cannot even control rebels in the Sinai who are killing Egyptian soldiers like flies. The Egyptian economy is sinking, the government is corrupt.
I wish Egypt realizes that Ethiopia has always been a peaceful nation unless provoked. The Koran states that Ethiopia should be respected as she protected the Prophet Mohammed. Egypt is being an infidel herself.
As for drunk Museveni mind your own country. Don’t forget Shabab came to your house.
People of south Sudan want total people of s sudan want peace God will punish whoever is working for the destruction of south Sudan. Shame on all the countries that has interest in south Sudan.
Cooperation and mutual respect is the best way forward to settle our differences not sabotage
Egyptians should not forget that their ancestors attempted to capture and dismantle Ethiopia and defeated by the then patriotic ethiopians in 1874 to 1876
Kampaa and Cairo are exploiting the weak leadeship of Kiir exersperated by an Ethnic agenda. The to governments are avtuslly aiding a babaric bunch of trigger happy warlords to destroy the SouthvSudanese peple. Kiir and Malong shiuld remember the role Ethiopia plaid in the 23 year liberation war that brought them to power. Salva Kiir is just not the kind of leader that South Sudan needs.
Man,you talking about that Eprd or Eplf would have war against the Sudan government at time when Dearg time.they have their own enemy to face than Ethiopia.
Pleas let’s not disrespect to neighbouring S.sudan like they are no they know what is war.so pleas Ethiopia ‘ye sine libona meregagat yasfeligal ‘.belive that we are coming out of poverty…..period.we got muscle..
we know all what they do Egypt our historical enemy and Uganda .
Egypt and Ethiopia are historically friends. At the time of Empror Haile Selassie and before
Whatever any country try to fight with ethiopia
go head. No body stop GERD.Ethiopian peoples
always watching whats happened.
The alliance between Egypt, South Sudan and Uganda can be described as unholy and blindfolded. Ethiopia as a neighboring country contributed and still continued contributing for peace and stabilization of this youngest country including receiving a highest number of refugees. Besides these two countries have a greater tendency to have economic, social and political strategic partnership. Where as SS partnership with with Egypt and Uganda is temporarily as far as the kir regime is on the throne. These two countries have no common interest, their strategy is unworkable due to the factors mentioned above. For Ethiopia ‘ keep calm and strive to appear economy gaint in the region’.
Whatever any country try to fight with ethiopia
go head. No body stop GERD.Ethiopian peoples
always watching whats happened.*
Egypt is Egypt – a country which has the agenda always to cheat , destabilize and suppress our fellow Africans now nearly for a century .
It is hard to believe Museveini , a senior statesman of East Africa to conspire against Ethiopia – a country which is always in the heart of whole Afrca . If is really to this dirty game then history will curse him for ever as a traitor , far worse than the colonialists and neo colonialists.

Peace for SS
If SS peoples becomes recipients of ammunition just for fighting among them and disturbing their neighbors , then they no more better than the animal in bushes. More than any other countries pacify with your closest neighbors North Sudan , UGANDA and Etopia , than accommodating unreliable outsiders like the Egyptians whose interest is always inhumane , racist . Leaders of SS who are just surrogates and full have no place
Tell egypt not to forget what the then foreign minister Tewodros Adhanom said. Either we sweem together or we sink together. As to the dirty war game, there are several methods of fighting dirty. Imagine Egypt succeeds in destroying GERD and Ethiopia poisoning the Nile with a drop of unintentional nuclear waste. Who is going to be the biggest loser? Just saying
Let the dog barks , trying to hv leftover,

Don’t try to make this look like Muslim vs Christians. Because it’s not. Ethiopia is not a Christian country and Egypt is not a Muslim country either. This is a politics of interest. As to the “book ” you mentioned it’s not egyptian “book ” and they don’t know anything about it because if they do they wouldn’t see Ethiopia as enemy. Ethiopia stood with the Islam when they needed the most. I am proud Ethiopian Muslim who loves other Christian fellow citizens Ethiopia as well as the rest of Africa.
Hey dear I didn’t say Musilem or Christian , here am meant by book is to remaind them to See the history which had taken place b/n us
Peace will be achieved by initiating inclusive approaches to all parties and other stakeholders who the main partner to peace that was inked in Addis Ababa two years ago. Ceasefire and cessattion of hostilities should be observed by the warring parties. Regional leaders who have different interests and unthinkable weird agendas should be kept away and not to interfere with the affairs of South Sudan.
Museveini can dance with anyone who pays him till the music changes to Rock and Roll, he can not resist the Ethiopian move.
our basic principle is “mutual benefit ” if other
parties going to destroying this basic principle ?
we cannot stop doing good for our people , and for
our neighbors , GERD is our first monument !!! much
and much biger than “GERD” hydro power projects will introduce soon then we will see what our historical enemies doing next…Ethiopia is Ethiopia:
Egyptians must think wisely so that we use the water resource amicably since finishing it sooner or later is unavoidable fact as we had gone far. Rather all downstream countries, Egypt in the forefront must concentrate on afforestation activities around the source of Nile (Ethiopia) since volume of water had been decreasing since the last decades due to the high speed of deforestation
Best Comment Ever.All my African freinds Stop Proxy war.Always try to be correct all the time.Always the truth and Cooperation is best.Look at the 1929/59 Egocentric and selfish agreement on Nile River.It is unfair and unequitable.To SS rthnic clash is created for your National Resource Oil and Nile river itself dont be full.Have an eagle eye.Man is born fair and freindly but, the enlarged belly and Capitalism made him Cruel.Try to watch all
We ethiopian never intimidated by this. Donot forget Ethiopia helped you beyond much to get your freedom. Now South Sudanian biting the hand of Ethiopia which helped you during the freedom struggle. Our people and government prepared what coming from Egypt and its slave . Ethiopains are capable to conduct three wars coming from two countries and one region.. Somalia ,Eritrea and South Sudan region
Janbo dont mention Somalia in this article thought you know who we are when it comes war and you still remember that for surely, so talk about how you will face the Egyptian not US.
Kingsman, you shouldn’t think about attacking Ethiopians it’s less than a minute to destroy all of you for us,
we can put nuclear wastes to Nile, every country is happy to give us nuclear wastes, do you know we have been at war with Egypt 4 times in last centuries and we destroy your army 4 times, and also all of Ethiopian people have a solder heart by nature we happy to fight for our country any time. but guys we don’t want go war with Egypt, it will be better if we both win without war isn’t it…?
very funny , bragging is not good brother.Why Ethiopia till of today could not release its killed soldiers during Ethio-Eritrean war then ask ur self .
Eritrea is minding its own business man has no part with GERD and your enemies.
Yes, Ethiopia is capable of fighting wars against its neighbors with the help of its surrogates the west. But what will happen if the west stop breast feeding the Ethiopian regime? Already Ethiopians have started to die of hunger.
Amara’na gura. U had full scale war only with Eritrea. The truth is Vise versal, Eritrea had a war against yemen, Ethiopia, djibouti and sudan. Did u forget the triangular alliance u made circlling Eritrea. See what happened to yemen, sudan break up, ethiopia is in turmoil, djibouti will be a battle ground of superpowers wait and see
Speaking out frankly , the two countries that is Egypt and Uganda both have there interest but our very primitive and stupid kirr is just there stupidly taking actions without settling any domestic problem in the country…
How pray for God to take soul through prayers and fasting this lent season
Hi guys I am so concerned of egypts role in east Africa to destblize the whole continuit Africa
Shame on al-sisi Egypt are British slaves so go ahead their sanseless propaganda
Then we see you will loss
Our patriotic ancestors. Crushes. Egyptian arrogant. And the new Ethiopian young generation is going to make on other Unforgettable. History
Egypt loser
Ethiopia holy land always live forever
አንተ ገገማ፡ በድሮ በሬ ያረሰ የለም። history was in the past now is where we stand. Keep the your history for tales
It will be the end of world war and new history will come in the world. GoD bless Ethiopia
not only the government but also we Ethiopia ‘s know every game we are always standing for our right..now every game that Egypt played on Ethiopia is over .make it or brake it
In fact south Sudanese people to kick out kiir; the only way is peace and love your tribes men and have political campaign that will shows the weakness of Kiir government with right leader not hungry power one eye Rebel leader could not leader south S.completely. Then let us enjoy fighting only that those who are beating drum of war are not residing in the country to test bitter of war but your parents, homestead would smell it, and those who will accept this fragrance situation you develop.
May God Blessed Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti Sudan S. Sudan, Uganda and Egypt in the name of Jesus Christ!
We Ethiopian always we pray for a neighboring country.
we are not worry God is in control!
[Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippines 4:8 ]
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I see no dirty politics here. This is a normal way of gov and army generals work. almost every one knows which is what and they are working on it to their interset. Ethiopia knows what are the consiquences after building Grand R dam and supporting Machar. Uganda stands by Kirr and did their best to chase and crush mechar becomes an enemy to EPRDF. Egypt is always against any plan might ruduce water supply to nile river which ethiopia did it to its interest. Crystal clear politics, no dirty no sneaky.

This is news from Addis Ababa organized by the T*****ist regime in Ethiopia.
Do you think Ethiopians don’t know this when they start digging for GERD? They have been ready for nearly 100 years since they came up with the idea of using their own water, but failed many times to start. They know Egypt very well and fought with them too directly and indirectly. They knew Egypt’s sneaky idea will come up anytime and will continue to come…its in their blood. It is also written in the bible.
This is all about it news here.But Ethiopia is one of the creators of current South Sudan has already decided to stay away from South Sudanese never-end madness. Egypt having good relationship with Uganda (South Sudan or any other country in the world) on other hand, has nothing to do being against Ethiopia. If anything, it has do with White Nile. Regarding to Ethiopian Grand Dam, construction is ongoing as scheduled with both Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan already working out their differences on the table (peacefully). Uganda never been and has no reason to an enemy country to Ethiopia.
we ethiopian amhara support our brather Egybt to fight TPLF. all Eset africa nation stand for egybt people
@Bakalu.. frist why don’t you go to school to learn how to write and spelling mistakes. Secondly you’re not mature enough to be able to get a perfect example of Africa, you and some others like your fruits the so called are self haters.
Ethiopian people vs. Egypt people
TPLF……
Its not about politics its about national interest. So think outside your narrow box my brother.
Crazy , Idea . No war mongering. You have to look all riparian countries equal. Work for fair and equitable distribution without war.
If Egypt indeed tries any kind of sabotage; Egypt will not see a drop of the Nile water. Mark my words and you can quote me on this, Egypt will die of starvation. I hope they will be smart enough to know bette…
And finally u both gone for good u fool. U must be stupid to think they die you servive. Why do think they r doing their best to stop the reduction of nile water for centuries? It will be like fighting a hopeless which makes it desasterous. When u both done Someone else inherit ur land
I would always thinking the white skinned Arab like Egypt, Lybia ,Moroco ,Tunnisia and Algeria will be evacuated the land of Africa ’cause as they were sneak in to getting the land and sneak out of the African territories. We don’t need white skinned has own our holy land . Africa is belonged to black skinned people to have all the power and love. We will need only white paint .
But why is Ethiopia interested in white elephant projects. The project is 56 % complete and currently the regime in Ethiopia is collecting money from Ethiopians in Diaspora and there is no good progress. The project is an ambitious project used only for political consumption to support the fabricated reports that Ethiopia has achieved a double digit economic growth in the last year. How can people of a country with a fast growing economy suffer from starvation and die of hunger.
Ethiopia does not want war, unless forced. I personally don’t believe Egypt wants war with Ethiopia too. If unfortunately they do, you all know what happens, check history, Ethiopians know how to fight and win.

Is Museveni the President whom I always see him as “very subtle and matured leader ” is really doing this or this is a smear campaign. I do not believe this. He has been an a front man advocate in for fair utilization of the Nile Waters. I wish I hear from him a very clear statement on his stand.
Odinka
it is very clear Egypt is not interested at Africans.
Egypt don’t stand to Ethiopia, because God made it powerful! We will go toufer and toufer…
Oh this is a plan to destabilize the region … probably by western union if you know what i mean. I wish all Africans wake up n realize that s#!t
Miss Egypt…Try us then you will pay the price.God bless GERD,God bless Ethiopia!
Egypt politicians, what’s wrong with you? we are living in the 20th century and off course in the dynamic world. Why you remain static and stupid. Belive me this greed and evil mentality will take you to the hell .
No body can stop Ethiopia from using its natural resource!!!!!
Oh , Egypt !!
The spoiled child of the Nile. What made you so selfish? While your African brothers share you for free waters flowing from their lands. Cursed are your ignorant leaders who profess you that Nile belongs only for Egypt , and that the other Africans should only see it only and not drink it. What devilish sentiment
James Moises, the alleged intelligence agent reads like a south sudanese name. Common sense tells me you were better of under the Arab North. Look what you are doing to yourselves.
Babu you are right! South Sudan should never have separated from the Arab North. These people were better of under the Arabs. They complained of Arab rule before independence. Indeed commonsense tells us that the Arabs actually protected the South Sudanese tribes against each other. Now there are no Arabs to blame, they blame Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and the whole world for the havoc unfolding out of greed. Let people making comments about this lie about a Ugandan agent wake up and smell the coffee the South Sudan leaders have brewed for their poor people: Hold those leaders accountable; stop allocating blames to other countries!
This is good opportunties for ethiopian that shows how much we stand togethe for GERD and our military power.
The problem of South Sudan is the three tribes Dinka,Nure ,Murle ,this mentioned people if they can not come to
understand what is the human being and its right and what to do in the world,or in the country no peace in the
country called South Sudan.
And those who have good education are the one doing bad things to their own people to dead every day the three tribes all of them can not share a table ,their mind only think of cows better than human being,no idea of development in the country they need free things ,that is why all of them are in Juba of no work ,and those
who both in South Sudan ,USA CANADA ,AUSTRALIA, they are helping them grab land and selling the land to the foriegners half of their land sold and some of do not know what is going on in the area or in the country
that is why all of them are in Juba ,all this army who is paying them without good plan.
South Sudan need one diffense ,every commander have his/her army how do you pay them,that is why killing
every where in the country only the three tribes need UN to disarmed or take the country for 10 years and
find good leaders no from the mentioned tribes and collect all the armies from the groups .the country will have peace of mind and think some thing to do ,introduce development to the mentioned areas they have
nothing only cows problems since God create them as human beings but short thinking.
