Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s former deputy minister of interior and member of the Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TGONU) Salva Mathok Gengdit has claimed that Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed is to blame for the ongoing crisis in Ethiopia because he has allegedly refused President Salva Kiir Mayardit\u2019s call for dialogue.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian descended into crisis in its northern part in November last year after an attack by the Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front (TPLF) on a federal army base in the Tigray region resulted in the declaration of a law enforcement operation against the group by the Ethiopian federal government.<\/p>\n

President Salva Kiir Mayardit had sought to mediate between the federal government and the TPLF. The Ethiopian government under Abiy has accepted the South Sudanese offer to mediate, but TPLF hasn\u2019t commented on the calls by President Kiir to intervene to mediate between the parties.<\/p>\n

However, General Salva Mathok Gengdit is now claiming that the Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy had rejected President Salva Kiir Mayardit\u2019s offer for mediation saying Mr. Abiy should be blamed for the crisis which he said would have not reached the current stage which has resulted in displacement and loss of lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlame can be put on Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed regarding the ongoing crisis in Ethiopia. If he had accepted the advice of President Salva Kiir Mayardit to go for dialogue with Tigray and others, the crisis would have not reached such situations as many lives lost and properties destroyed with massive displacement as we speak,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Salva Kiir has experienced 21 years of war with Khartoum. SPLM\/SPLA was fighting the Sudan army while fighting splitter groups within SPLA, but, President Kiir and Late Dr John Garang managed to fight for the unity of South Sudan within the moment and that is where President Kiir got experience on how to manage crises,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
