Machar responds to Museveni

-




Dr. Riek Machar,the chairman of the armed opposition faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM in Opposition), Riek Machar, has written a letter to the IGAD secretariat in expression of the complete shelving of the IGAD PLUS compromise by a meeting convened by president Museveni of Uganda .

Here is the statement by the office of the chairman SPLAM/A-IO:





The outcome of that meeting is going to severely affect the deadline set by Obama administration  to have the peace agreement signed on 17th Aug 2015 .What’s Next?  is the question that should be reverberating in the minds of the regional leaders and the international community as it appears the entire peace process has been brought to a premature end ,since Juba regime and his Museveni ally still harbour  the illusion  militarily might will bring peace.

The attitude of Museveni to the leadership of SPLA/M-IO has been disrespectful, he remains indifferent and heartless to the plight of South Sudanese civilians suffering and dying.  Museveni essentially continues to occupy South Sudan and he dictates what President Kiir does. Museveni tries to portray himself as the regional superman. His ego is inflated by regional conflicts. His presence in Somalia, interference in Congo, Rwanda, Sudan and South Sudan shouldn’t be seen in naive lenses as Mr. Savior at work. Museveni’s power thrives in these conflicts. End the conflicts and his influence disappears.

After more than two years of talks in Addis Ababa under the auspices of IGAD, It’s therefore time for the  leaders of the two factions  to restore the dignity of the country and agree to end the conflict IGAD mediation team seem to be suffering from undue influence by regional dictators and there is a likelihood the suffering of South Sudanese will go on for a long time.

Fact: "The Dutch have a dominant direct communication style, which is more likely to be a source of conflict with staff from Asia". The advancement in the way we communicate has given companies the opportunities to hire workers from borderless communities and such teams who work in different, time, space, language and culture are defined as Virtual teams. Basically, technology has enabled managers to pool the talents and expertise of employees and non-employees by eliminating time and space barriers by utilizing internet technologies, guided by common purposes, roles, and norms.

One of the most top rebel commanders, Gen. Peter Gatdet Yak, deputy chief of general staff for operations in the rebel military command council, was quoted to have been explicit about his assessment o ... f the operations, saying even the national capital, Juba, would be within reach if the weapons were brought. “If you bring to me the weapons and ammunitions order me to lead an attack on Juba to remove Salva Kiir from power, nobody can afford to stop me on the way to Juba.
