Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b>South Sudan\u2019s information minister, Michael Makuei Lueth, has said that the government will deploy unified forces with sticks, and that opposition forces must produce their rifles in order to be trained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are in the field now will be graduated with sticks, will be deployed now. Their food has arrived, and they will be deployed with their sticks. We\u2019ll deploy them. By then we\u2019ll see what they will do on the ground,\u201d Makuei said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second phase will be coming in. And second phase, it is conditional. For you to go to the [training center] you must produce your rifle to convince us that you were a combatant. Once you produce your rifle, when it is put in the store, then you go for training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you graduate from there, you are given, you take your rifle, and you are graduated with it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The senior government official went on to blame the arms embargo imposed in 2018 for the country\u2019s inability to acquire weapons, something that contradicts a 2022 US government assertion that South Sudan has more arms than people.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we have the arms embargo. An arms embargo is another way of obstructing the implementation of the agreement,\u201d Makuei said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is obstruction because we will not be allowed, they know we don\u2019t manufacture arms, we don\u2019t manufacture even ammunitions and everything,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
