January 31, 2017 (YAMBIO) - 40 members from South Sudan National

The event was organized by U.N mission’s civil affairs division in the state.
Speaking at the opening of the workshop, the civil affairs division
team leader, Stelar Abayomi said the symposium saw both military and
civilians attend the two-day workshop, which focused on role of youth
and military in conflict mitigation in order to improve the civil
relation between communities and the military.
Staler stated that the U.N civil affairs division’s role is to keep
advocating for people to be conscious about the need to resolve
conflict through dialogue, adding that workshop will be done to
different groups of community in South Sudan because the conflict
could not be resolved by means of fighting, but through dialogue.
The minister of local government and law enforcement, Jackson Ezekiel
appreciated UNMISS for organizing such an important workshop at the
critical time of need where youth and armed groups are desperately in
need of skills to allow them live in peace.
“As the government, we appreciate UNMISS for organizing such an
important workshop focusing on peace which the youth and armed groups
are in need of at this critical time,” said Ezekiel.
One of the acting commanders of SSNLM, Abel Mathew Mbaraza applauded
UNMISS for organizing the one-day workshop for his group, including
SPLA/IO members who surrendered to government.
This initiative, he said, will enable them learn how to live with the
community peacefully and solve problem in a non-violent way.
“We have been touching how to handle conflict by not using arms and
violence, but sitting around the table to address the problem,” said
Mbaraza, stressing the need for living in peace and harmony.

Which SPLA IO? Kiir’s tribal government considers SPLA IO a rebel
outfit. I don’t think a group with allegiance to El Taban refers to
itself as SPLA IO. UNMISS was dealing with different armed opposition
group in that area....

Which SPLA IO has UNMISS have trained?
UNMISS shouldn’t confuse things.
There is no SPLA IO rather then Machar’s SPLM/SPLA IO.
Any other existing bandits in south south calling themselves IO
like those of Taban are bandits, idiots and peace abrogators
