Peace monitor says new militias emerge in South Sudan conflict

NAIROBI (13 Feb.)

Festus Mogae, the Chairman of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation
Commission (JMEC), said new militia groups, some "opportunists", others
"downright criminal", have emerged in South Sudan since renewed clashes
erupted in July last year.

Mogae, the former president of Botswana, is tasked with overseeing
implementation of the August 2015 peace deal.

In a press statement in Nairobi on Friday, Mogaa said these new rebel
groups did not exist before, while expressing fears of renewed ethnic
violence in the country."Some are opportunists, others are downright
criminals, because of the shortage of food," Mogae said. "There are
allegations that some groups are targeting Dinkas."
