The defectors are then given weapons and financial resources to turn their guns against their own comrades,\u201d the PCCA statement reads in part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the schemers would conveniently claim these sponsored sabotages to be internal clashes within the SPLN-IO. Thus, war has continued through proxies since 2018. The peace monitors would then oblige to buy the lamest of these excuses,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n<p>The powerful protest organizer asserted that recent renewal of conflict between the South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces and the SPLA-IO is a result of the president\u2019s policies to destroy the SPLM-IO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recent escalation is a cumulative result of such schemes. President Kiir has been behind all the efforts that have frustrated the implementation of the security arrangements and all other critical elements of the R-ARCSS. The SPLM-IO has on its part, been complacent in going along with these violations,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n<p>In the same statement, the group called \u201cupon all the people of South Sudan, to reject any return to war and to strongly condemn the latest military confrontations and drumming for war in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of South Sudan should demonstrate their rejection of war mongering and bloodletting by flooding the streets of Juba, Wau, Malakal, and all major population centers in protest of this slow but steady drifting of this country back to war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
