S Sudan's FVP designate Riek Machar, arrives in his General
Headquarters, Pagak. He was received by SPLA-IO's Chief of General
Staff, 1st Lt. Gen. Simon Gatwech Dual, 12 April, 2016 (courtesy photo

March 12, 2017 (JUBA) - The South Sudanese government on Sunday called
on regional leaders to designate as a "negative force", the armed
opposition forces (SPLM-IO) operating in the war-ravaged nation.

“The president has declared a national dialogue which has been
welcomed by all the countries and leaders in the region because the
dialogue is the only way to resolve political issues,” said
presidential advisor on security, Tut Kew Gatluak.

“Why continue to fight when the national dialogue has been declared?
If there are issues, the national dialogue is the platform through
which all these issues would be discussed,” he added.

The presidential advisor went on to mention that those who support the
war are a negative force and the government would need to take a firm
stance for peace.

“But if there are people who refused this dialogue and continue to
advocate for war, the region needs to come out clearly to affirm
support to the peace agreement and work with the government to declare
these people who are continuing to promote war as a negative force,”
Gatluak told Sudan Tribune on Sunday.

Tut Kew Gatuak claimed the armed opposition forces were “bandits” who
had no objectives. “These people who are still carrying arms and
killing people are bandits. They have no clear political objectives.
Their objectives are simply to kidnap, rape innocent women and loot,”
he claimed.

The presidential advisors’ justification for calling the armed
opposition bandits was due to the kidnapping of two Indian oil
engineers who were taken in an oil field located in Gueluguk North.

The SPLA-IO spokesman Col. William Gatjiath Deng said in a statement
last week that their forces captured two Indian nationals who were
identified as Ambross Edward and Muggy Vijaya Boopathy.

“Despite repeated warnings from the SPLA-IO leadership, the two
Indians engineers namely Mr Ambross Edward and Mr Muggy Vijaya
Boopathy working for the Juba regime were captured yesterday Thursday,
March 09, 2017 alive during the fighting between the gallant SPLA-IO
forces, and the Juba regime soldiers and their Sudanese rebel allies
in and around the new oil site at Guelguk north, Adar,” said Col. Deng
said.

The armed opposition spokesperson explained in the statement that
Edward and Boopathy were captured after rebel forces under the command
of Major General Khor Chuol Giet and Brigadier General Gatbel Kuach
“disintegrated, defeated, and killed” at least thirty-three government
soldiers.

He also proclaimed the SPLA-IO defeated and inflicted heavy losses on
government troops and its allies from the Sudanese rebel group.

The rebel spokesman further claimed that the armed opposition took
control of the area and warned of unspecified consequences if Juba and
its Sudanese allies continue attacking the SPLA-IO positions.

That’s right. Rebels are "negative force" who want to destroy the
country for their positions or self-serving mentality. You just
realize that rebels are “bandits and have no political objectives for
South Sudan. They are criminals who want to kill, kidnap, rape, loot,
and targeting innocent civilians. Moreover, they are pure criminals
including their leader Machar.

If any criminal movement be labelled a negative force, Salva
Kirr and his cohorts are the most criminal, that is terrorizing the
people of south sudan. Creating tribal army know as Mathiang Anyor,
and Duc-Beny raping, looting, grabbing land, and killing innocent
people in cold blood. I hope the international community set up the
hybrid court to jail this criminal leader sooner than later.

Do you also believed what the so call rebel spokesman said
that they captured Indian workers after a fight. God forgive this
uncivilized people for they are destroying their country yet they
don’t know what they are doing. Better a child of Necessary school
from other part of World than this rebel spokesman until if he/she is
told A for apple tomorrow he/she won’t say A for dog.

for him. Kiir wants war and that’s what he’s being served right now!!!

John akeen,

Kiir shouldn’t expect the region to fight for him in a war he
instigated. Kiir should face his war and quandaries alone!!!

We want peace in South Sudan. President Kiir wants peace
in South Sudan. War is not our choice, but if it’s imposed on us, we
have no choice but to make people who are imposing it on us to go to
refugee camp in Uganda. Who instigated the war? Someone who killed
innocent people on road and called them MTN or someone who has
constitution right to protect his country?

Who are the negative forces in the country? In fact the government
troops are negative? They are fighting for status quo while opposition
forces are standing for federalism, democracy, freedom of expression,
press, economic development, anti corruption, nepotism and tribalism.

There’s no needs of calling anybody out there to proof that an IO
is already a negative force. They already proven their negativities in
many occasions. If the very forces that led by the very PhD holder are
still the very less informed. Meaning: Still looting, rapping, and so
forth. Then, why those of Midit Mitot, Jubaone, Fair Man and alike are
still barking like dogs around here?

The Chief Nuerwew (money lover), bastard Tut Kew Gatluak, could
not reason beyond his ass, when his fellow Naat ladies, were massively
raped between 11th -12th July, 2016 as they rushed to UN POCs at Jebel
after they were deceived that they must returned home, yet war broke
out again. His very Nuer paid dearly in 2013, so JCE uses him as a
ticket to kill Nuer despite his advisory role
