February 12, 2017 (JUBA) – South Sudanese internally displaced persons

In a petition addressed to the United Nations Secretary General,
Antonio Guterres, the IDP urged the word body to reconsider its recent
decision to re-deploy Kenyan soldiers in the country.
“We, the internally displaced South Sudanese in the protection of
civilian camps across the country, have been following with great
dismay and concern over the political developments again our country
since July’s assassination attempt on the life of Dr. [Riek] Machar
the then 1st vice president and SPLM/A-IO in Juba one,” it read.
The displaced person, in their statement, raised concerns over the
head of the U.N peacekeepers, a Kenyan, who they accused of allegedly
failing to protect civilians when South Sudan army clashed with the
armed opposition forces on 8 July, 2016.
“We strongly believe that you will strive to bring peace to our broken
society and deliver us from the brutal dictator`s administration and
leadership. We also want to underline here that Kenyan government is
acting brutally towards our citizens in Kenya by abducting them and
deporting them to the enemies in Juba to be inhumanely tortured and
most of the times killed by the regime`s notorious security agents,”
further stated the IDPs’ petition to the U.N.
The internally displaced persons also expressed dismayed over renewed
conflicts, that has turned ethnic in the country and urged the world
body to do what it could to protect vulnerable civilians.
The group further called on the new Secretary General of the U.N
pressure the warring parties into renegotiating the 2015 peace deal.
Reacting to the recent national dialogue initiative declared by
President Salva Kiir, the IDPs are less optimistic about the process
bringing an end to the ongoing hostilities in Africa’s newest nation.
According to the group, only an inclusive national dialogue, which is
achieved after all the guns have been put silent, will ensure peace.

i believe they are coming to complete their Business in South
Sudan like what they did there in Kenya, am sure that is their main
purpose of coming, if international community did not see this very
soon Kenyan peacekeepers will give those who run to UNIMISS for their
own safety to government like what they did to Gatdet Dak and Dong
Luak Plus Agery.

settle our differences as SS than involving these angry-money looking
East Africans. We started our war and we shall settle soon if one side
is defeated
