Da Dan Xia |
Highly classified intel coming from unnamed IGAD
officials has revealed to SPLA IO sources , that Da Dan Xia the notorious Hong
Kong registered Chinese vessel currently docked in port Djibouti is ferrying
lethal weapon armaments to be supplied South Sudan government with the full
knowledge of key IGAD partner state .
This vessel company is suspected in several incidence of
violation of arms trafficking laws internationally recently, on the 4th March
2015 the Colombian government impounded carrier with the same names and
arrested the captain of the vessel in the port city of Cartagena, and was
charged with arms trafficking for transporting undocumented large-caliber
munitions, reportedly bound for Cuba but,Colombian government believes Cuba
communist regime is a conduit for weapons supply to the FARC rebels in Columbia.
Like the Cuba regime,Uganda government of Museveni is a
known accomplice to these violation of arms trade by buying arms on behalf of
the Juba government.
Juba government in October 2014 signed a strategic
military cooperation agreement with Uganda in which Kampala can purchase
weapons on behalf Juba SPLA faction.
Therefore with the imminent comprehensive arms embargo
against the warring factions in South Sudan war by the international community
several IGAD members might find themselves in the watch list for violating this
directive.
Statement from the SPLM-IO confirmed that Chinese flagged
vessel Da Dan Xia has brought large quantity of armaments and ammunitions to
Salva Kiir’s tribal SPLA Juba government via Djibouti Port the consignments
consists of missile warheads, heavy artillery shell casings, and million
detonators which are destined to be delivered to Juba via Ethiopian".
There seems to be a secret agenda by some IGAD member
states of frustrating the peace efforts,if they continue to abet weapons
pilfering through the volatile region,these members states ironically seat at
the helm of the mediation efforts of reconciling the warring parties in the
South Sudan conflict yet at the same time they are conspiring to keep arming
the failed Juba regime.
China another party to the continued instability in South
Sudan is the main purchaser of South Sudan oil,is also seemingly playing double
sides in June 2014, China sold weapons worth $38 million, a consignment of
which was delivered to South Sudan through the Kenyan coastal port of
Mombassa.Machar the leader of SPLA IO at the time criticized the Chinese
government for what they said was a double standard in which it fuelled the war
through sale of weapons to Juba while at the same time expressed to play role
of supporting the peace process and peace keeping.
Despite this condemnation of China by SPLA IO relations
between China and Juba remains intact the evidence is this new shipment of arms
cargo docked in port of Djibouti government.
Currently there are some disagreements of allowing the
safe passage of these armaments through Ethiopia, the Ethiopian government is
insisting that Juba government pays $3.5 million dollars fees for transferring
heavy lethal weapons and ammunitions through their land.
To meet this demand the Juba mafia government is desperately
rallying member state for a waiver of the fees.Salva Kiir is also continuously
mortgaging South Susan oil to Chinese Oil Company who are paying for these
weapons and freight charges in promise of full control of the oil resources in
South Sudan.
Therefore with this development the SPLA IO is calling
upon UNSC, Trioka, EU, AU and IGAD to condemn China and her IGAD accomplices to
abstain from supplying lethal weapons to failed government that is being used
to massacre its own people in daylight.
The people of South Sudan need a peaceful resolution of
the war instead of Chinese manufactured weapons.
