August 16, 2017 (JUBA) - The head of the United Nations mission in
South Sudan, David Shearer has clarified that it will be the mandate
of the government and not the regional protection forces to control
the airport and other key installations in the war-torn country.

“There was never any thought of controlling the airport. The airport
is the sovereign territory of the Government of South Sudan. The issue
for us is, with the cooperation of the South Sudanese military and
police doing joint patrols – it is something we have been talking with
the authorities about and we hope will take place,” Shearer told
reporters in the South Sudanese capital, Juba on Wednesday.
He added, “There is absolutely no designs or plans of any kind to take
control of the airport. Quite the opposite, the airport is the
sovereign right and sovereign property of the government of South
Sudan”.
According to the top UN official, the mission has already started some
patrols up and down the road linking South Sudan’s town of Nimule to
Uganda and that connecting the capital, Juba to Bor.
Shearer said the deployment of the troops will allow the mission to
reorganize and put to proper use the troops, including the provision
of regular patrols.
“These are two vital lifelines for South Sudan. The deployment of the
RPF (Regional Protection Force) means simply that we have additional
troops at our disposal that can make more frequent patrols along that
road in addition to the possibility of escorting some vehicles along
the road as well,” stressed the UN mission head.
“We hope that that presence will make the road safer and enable the
free movement of people along that road without any problems”, he
added.
The protection force, the official further told reporters, would be
based in Juba, allowing the mission a freedom for other forces to move
out to hotspots that require more in the way of protection.
In August 2016, the UN Security Council, following a request by the
East African regional bloc, the Intergovernmental Authority on
Development (IGAD), approved the deployment of a 4,000-strong
protection force to secure Juba in the aftermath of renewed clashes.
South Sudan’s Transitional Government of National Unity confirmed its
unconditional consent to the deployment of the force in a communiqué
to the Security Council on November 30, 2016.
The 4,000-strong force is meant to protect civilians from the gang
rapes and other abuses seen during the fighting that erupted in the
capital, Juba, a year ago. This additional force would beef up the
existing 13,000-strong UN peacekeeping troops.
South Sudan’s civil war has killed tens of thousands and displaced
over two million civilians in less than five years, according to the
UN.
Last month, South Sudan government said it had completed the
verification needed for regional protection forces to be deployed in
the country. Weeks later, the first batch of regional protection from
Rwanda arrived in Juba.

Million congratulations Mr.David Shearer for your rational
leadership that respect the sovereignty and independence of our young
nation. You will succeed 100% in your tenure as Head of the UNMISS
unlike emotional leadership of Hilde Johnson that did not
differentiate between NGUNDAENG uprising, and coup d’etat.

Very soon the ICC will document SPLA-IO coward attacks on civilian
vehicles on roads and killing them intentionally which is a serious
crime against humanity and can take them to ICC prison cells in the
Hague. The SPLA-IO is derailed by evil satanic demonism or
NGUNDAENGISM. Where is the noble claim of a revolution to change South
Sudan if revolutionary soldiers can kill civilians on ethnicity.

Lenin Bull,
First get hold of your uncontrollable luakjiengs or worthless
nyors that are directly responsible for massive tape cases and wanton
killings. These uncircumcised Jienge criminals are lawless and must be
apprehended. I guess raping is a jienge habit and most are nothing but
products of rape and bastardy.

What is "massive tape cases", stupid. In Equatoria near
Yei and other areas, there are many uncircumcised, are they Dinka? No,
they are Equatoria. The recent taste in rebel’s mouths is losing
everything. Pagak, rebels surrendered in big numbers in Wau, Equatoria
is under control of the government. Everything is down with rebels.
Losers are losers, but stupid people are always stupid.

When SPLA captured Ulang and Nasir in May 2014 all vulnerable
civilians specially elderly persons, physically disabled persons were
spared and protected by soldiers given water, food, some who were sick
or injured were treated and taken to UNMISS base to keep them safe
from collateral damage during military confrontation. Some of these
Nuer elders were made to call their stupid IO sons
