There are too many weapons in the country. The estimates are, although the population is maybe 12 million, there are probably like 13 or 14 million weapons small arms in South Sudan, that\u2019s more than one for every single person in the country,\u201d Ajak said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we don\u2019t need more arms. We have already way too many. We need to destroy them. And what happened in Tonj, that was great, that was encourage. But we need more like that to be destroyed, not to buy more,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He said that South Sudan does not have an enemy, alleging that Uganda and Sudan \u2013 where South Sudan obtained independence from in 2011 \u2013 are controlling the country through Kiir, Tut Gatluak, and the National Security Service (NSS).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd who are we fighting to buy the weapon? If it is Sudan, we are already inviting them to control our government through Tutkew and through the national security people. You are already allowing them to control the intelligence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re allowing them to control the party. So, who is the enemy? Uganda controls Salva Kiir? Who is it that we are going to fight? We\u2019re fighting ourselves. So, we are tired of that. We are tired of being used against one another,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Ajak also commented on the latest British sanctions in which two senior local government officials in Unity State, commissioners of Mayendit and Koch Counties, were targeted with travel ban and asset freeze for role in violation of human rights, describing the sanctions as symbolic, but said the right people should have be targeted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sanctioning of the guy from Unity State are symbolic, but we want the right people to be sanctioned. They have the list. They know who is on it. You have seen The Sentry report. It\u2019s very clear. We have people that are in other reports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are aware. We need to look at genetic evidence that is there and consider what is available and take action. We cannot continue to condone impunity. There has to be accountability,\u201d he added.<\/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.
