(SPLM) remains the best option for ending the conflict in the young

The ruling party official told Sudan Tribune said he was optimistic
the upcoming reunification meeting scheduled to take place in the
Ugandan capital, Kampala, paves way for reaching a consensus aimed at
ending the ongoing conflict.
Akot said the reunification meeting scheduled to take place week will
bring together four different factions to discuss the way forward.
“The reunification is important because the conflict started with the
SPLM leadership and people are urging for it and saying that peace can
only come to the country if the SPLM leaders resolve their
differences. They even say when SPLM splits, communities split and
country gets into serious political and security matters. This is what
we should not encourage,” the presidential advisor told Sudan Tribune.
“We need to avoid it by making SPLM united until when time comes for
peaceful secession and gradual transformation takes place in the SPLA
[Sudan People’s Liberation Army]”, he added.
According to the official, the faction of the armed opposition under
the leadership of the former First-Vice President, Riek Machar will
participate in the forthcoming meeting scheduled for 12 July, 2017.
The Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has invited South Sudan’s rebel
leader Riek Machar to attend a meeting aimed at the reunification of
the different SPLM factions.
In May this year, three factions of South Sudan’s ruling party agreed
in Kampala to set aside their differences and work out a roadmap to
reunify the historical party.
The meeting was, however, boycotted by the Machar-led armed opposition faction.
“Your representatives are hereby invited to attend so that mediation
process is all inclusive. Eventually, you could come in person after
we harmonize in the region,” partly reads Museveni’s 26 June letter
obtained by Sudan Tribune.
“I have met the different representative of SPLM factions. During the
last meeting, it was agreed that all SPLM factions be represented in
the subsequent meetings," it added.
South Sudan was plunged into conflict in December 2013 as the rivalry
between Kiir and his then-Vice President, Riek Machar, turned into a
civil war. The fighting, which has often been along ethnic lines,
triggered Africa’s worst refugee crisis, with over three million
people fleeing their home

Reunionification of SPLM is not a solution?
The only solution is election to change leadership or to
restate the leadership.

The tone of Museveni’s letter to Dr. Machar sounds feindish.
Now that SPLM has 4 factions, which factions exactly signed the
ARCISS? If Dr. Machar makes that mistake of sending REPRESENTATIVES,
he would have sent out RAVENS as Noah did when the floods receded as
written in the Bible; Dr. Machar will have dug his own hole and sent
himself into oblivion!!!!

Eastern,
The SPLM was John Garang´s brain child and after him, the
SPLM/A is dead and useless. Each of these faction should just find a
new Party and Name. The SPLM/A has outlived it´s purpose. SS is a
sovereign state and no longer an appendage of Khartoum, unless of
course these jienges still want to cling to their jellaba masters. Lam
has already shown the way, Riak must follow.
