Elders in March 2015 (Photo Moses Lomayat)
June 4, 2017 (JUBA)- A prominent member of parliament (MP) and the
Dinka Council of Elders (Jieng) Sunday said Ethiopian authorities and
the regional bloc of Intergovernmental Authority on Development
(IGAD), which brokered the 2015 peace deal, are not neutral for new
talks.

Aldo Ajou Deng Akuey, chairman of the human rights and constitutional
affairs committee at the Council of States in South Sudan parliament
said IGAD and Ethiopian authorities are never neutral, and wondered
how the new talks could be credible, should the region continue to
take a side.

"In my opinion, the Agreement for Resolution of Conflict in South
Sudan, ARCSS, should continue to hold and being implemented. It is a
well-known fact that this agreement needs further tailoring as
President Salva Kiir correctly observed in his reservations during his
inking in August 2015. This is one of the reasons why the warring
parties should continue dialogue and reconciliation over this
"IGAD-cooked agreement," stressed Akuey.

The official was reacting to the call by the Ethiopian Prime Minister
Hailemariam Desalegn for a meeting of the IGAD leaders on in Addis
Ababa, on Monday 12, June 2017 to discuss the escalation of violence
which aggravated the humanitarian crisis in the country and more and
more seen as affecting the regional stability.

"The escalation of violence and growing hostilities are casting their
shadows on the national dialogue and the Agreement on the Resolution
of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan. this grave situation,
thus, requires us to speak with one voice," wrote Desalegn in a letter
he sent to President Salva Kiir on 29 May 2017.

The key member of the self-appointed tribal group of Dinka politicians
seen as informal advisors to President Salva Kiir preferred the
implementation of the 2015 peace deal to a new peace process.

"Its imperfection demonstrates the double standards acts of the
mediating parties. At one point, they are working for the ’regime
change’ and on the other hand, working for peace "in-good-faith."

"IGAD and Ethiopian authorities are never neutral. However, another
round of talks has no meaning, Let’s hold on this agreement and work
with international community to effect its implementation within the
framework of the national reconciliation," he added.

The existence of a Nuer faction in Ethiopia was a source of concern
for Juba over the involvement of Addis Ababa in the peace process and
its role.

In the past, Juba objected the participation of Ethiopian peacekeepers
in the UN protection force but Desalegn convinced Kiir that Ethiopia
has no interest in the continuation of the conflict and pledged to
prevent any support by the Ethiopian Nuer to the rebellion in South
Sudan.

This idiot was Al Bashir’s ass wiping boy in Khartoum like his

their ill advice to the incompetent tribal President Kiir.

These old and senile group of jienge criminals have no

caressing their naked grandchildren, they are misleading the
semi-literate Kiirminal who has stopped thinking and has contracted

Malwal in areas bordering the Mesriyah have jellaba blood. Look at
them. These jienge oldies have nothing better to do. Sadly, the

It’s a open secret that the country has evolved into a full

If you lazy MTN can’t develop even a tukul in your

to develop. They came and started grabbing peoples for themselves.
That is why over 80% of all court cases in Juba are related to
grabbing especially by jienges. All will be returned now or later
legally or by force. What did jienges develop other than stealing?
