Africa-Press – South-Sudan. South Sudan government spokesman has claimed without evidence that the international community is benefiting from the ongoing violence and lack of peace implementation in South Sudan saying the international community does not want South Sudan to transition to peace.
This comes just two days after the United Nations Security Council voted narrowly to renew the arms embargo and sanctions imposed on South Sudan several years ago for another more year as recommended by a team of UN experts.
Since the signing of the revitalized peace agreement in 2018, political violence has reduced, according to peace monitors, but sub-national or intercommunal violence continued to escalate with areas that were previously peaceful beginning to experience violence.
Makuei who is also the minister of information in the revitalized unity government said the international community does not want the successful implementation of the revitalized peace agreement because it is to it benefit that the war should continue.
“This is what they want, they do not want the implementation of peace, they want things to move as they are now so that they continue to benefit,” furious Makuei is quoted by the Juba Echo as saying.
“It is not going to affect the peace process, and it will not affect the security arrangements, we will continue with implementation of the revitalized peace agreement,” the senior government official added.
Makuei who is on United States sanctions further said that the transitional government will go ahead “to graduate the forces with sticks, the preparations are underway now.”
