February 22, 2017 (KHARTOUM) - Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir has
ruled out the direct involvement of the Egyptian arm in South Sudan’s
conflict but said Cairo provided President Salva Kiir with weapons and
ammunition.

Speaking to reporters aboard the plane returning to Khartoum from Abu
Dhabi on Tuesday, al-Bashir denied that Egypt had conducted any air
attacks on the positions of the SPLM-In-Opposition in Kaka town of
Upper Nile state, as it was claimed by the rebels on 3 February.
However "We have intelligence that they supported the South Sudanese
government, and continue to support the government with arms and
ammunition," he disclosed in his answer to a question from a
journalist.
"But I do not expect to fight in the South Sudan," he further said.
Last January President Salva Kiir visited Cairo where he held talks
with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Egyptian officials.
At the time, officials in Juba said the purpose of the visit was to
thank Egypt for its diplomatic support to Juba government at the level
of the United Nations Security Council.
Sudan as the rest of the IGAD countries including Uganda vowed to not
support the warring parties in South Sudan’s festering conflict. They
also agreed to keep the former Frist Vice-President Riek Machar out of
the region.
Also, Washington called to impose an arms embargo on South Sudan,
pointing to UN reports about "strong risk of violence escalating along
ethnic lines with a potential for genocide".

You are using South Sudan Human Resources in Yemen in a deal you
that you got millions of USD from Saudi Arabia off course you will be
the last person to wish South Sudan peaceful co-existing and we South
Sudanese citizens are aware about that only Government and arms
opposition in South Sudan can’t see that.

Lou Nuer,
Nothing to celebrate in President Al-Bashir statement as his
words are always controversial. Anyway, South Sudan is independent and
sovereign nation to acquire what mean of support from any countries or
organization including UN members. So Egyptian to South Sudan
government is a welcoming move if available to defeat those idiot of
IO forces in South Sudan

Omar Hassan el Bashir is the Sudanese hero that has painfully
accepted to cede part of its territory to create an independent State
called Republic of South Sudan. As the Head of State, he had powers to
reject referendum results given suspicious process involved. Now
stupid JCE and Dinka claimed that they defeated Bashir and mismanaging
the country ruthlessly. Troiak funded and mediated peace talk

Where was the so-called JCE when South Sudanese were fighting
Sudanese Governments. You Dinka have betrayed the course of South
Sudanese with your stupid ploy of JCE hegemony. As long as you don’t
differentiate live in cattle camps with live expected of civilized
nations in towns and cities, we have a long way to go. God, forgive
for they don’t know what they are doing!!!!!

With your mind you wouldn’t have different from them if given a chance.
That is not the language of someone who claims to know things.

Fair Man, you asked "Where was the so-called JCE when South
Sudanese were fighting Sudanese Governments?" JCE used to be
commanders in the SPLA and now they are retired and still have voices
in South Sudan affairs because they liberated the country. I don’t
have affiliation with JCE, but I believe they have rights to help
government whenever they can. I believe all South elders have rights
in S.S.

Fair Man, don’t worry about Abyei. It will never be Sudan
territory. Remember, whoever tries to take Dinka land will pay massive
price. Wait, you will see later. Bashir will pay the price later when
Dinkas are ready to face him. I can defeat Bashir with my 3,500
soldiers right now. Bashir is just playing with boiling fire, but he
will pay the price. I am telling you the truth.

Stupid JCE
You have forgotten your fucking Abyei business with Misseuria
despite many of our sons of Equatoria, Nuer, Shiluk and Murle having
lost their sons in from 2005-2011? You will regret this time should
Omar Bashir takes his recent statement seriously that Abyei is part of
Sudan. Omar, trust not SPLMs in both countries, they are one part
causing chaos in two countries. SPLM-Kiir/Malik Agar?

Get the hell out of here son of bitch Bashir! The loser always
keeps blaming others for his/her own failure. Peace will not
definitely in Sudan, if you don’t stop blaming any neighbors
countries. Sudan and S Sudan are not relationship any longer,Get it
right? S Sudan can invite any friends she want.

Dinka-Defender General
I don’t believe that there are best fighters among your 3,500
soldiers. Are these not the very soldiers who left their guns in
plane, avoiding being flown to Malakal battle in 2014 as well as Yau
Yau’s early 2013 operations? People abandoned arms and escaped from
airport. Only Nuer, Shiluk, Equatoria etc fought but your Dinkas
remained in headquarters or refused to fly.Liar.

Worst still, those commanding operations deserted their posts,
flew to Juba or Kapoeta along side wounded and when asked, they
shamelessly tell their soldiers, anboo or I am coming back in your
shit? Don’t lie to us man. We know that when a nation wide offensive
or fully blown uprising is taken against you, you will be defeated in
hours.

Bashir is absolutely right! These arms and ammunition will
eventually end in the hands of SPLM-North to fight his government.
Kiir is certainly going to plung South Sudan into a disasterous war
pitting Egiypt against Ethiopia on one hand and Sudan against
Egypt/Uganda on another hand. South Sudan as a country will bear the
ultimate brund of the proxy wars between the belligerant forces.....
