September 19, 2017 (JUBA) – Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has
attributed the civil war in South Sudan to “lack of ideology”.

Museveni, The New Vision reported, blamed South Sudanese politicians
for pushing forward identity politics while forgetting the interests
of the people and that he was working to unite the different factions
of the ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM).
“Identity is important but it should not be promoted at the expense of
the common interests of the people. Even Uganda was a failed state but
was rescued by a student movement that taught people to forget about
identity politics,” he said.
Museveni, in New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly,
held a meeting on Monday with the United States ambassador to the UN,
Nikki Haley whom he briefed about the security situation in South
Sudan, Burundi and Somalia.
During the meeting, however, the Ugandan leader reportedly stressed
the need to unite the various SPLM factions and that he was mediating
the talks aimed at uniting the SPLM as the Ethiopian Prime Minister
works on the process seeking to unite other political parties.
An average of over 1,800 South Sudanese, the UN refugee agency says,
fled to Uganda daily in the past year. The influx has become the
fastest growing refugee crisis in the world, with 85% of the refugees
in Uganda said to be women and children below 18.
In addition to the million refugees now hosted by Uganda, more than
million other South Sudanese refugees are in Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya,
Democratic Republic of the Congo and other countries.
Meanwhile, the US ambassador to the UN reportedly commended Museveni
and his administration for hosting the more than one million South
Sudanese refugees and supporting reform efforts in Somalia.
“Uganda has been a good example on what it means to take in refugees.
US offers its support as you continue to do that,” said Haley.
Uganda’s representative to the UN, Adonia Ayebare, foreign affairs
minister Sam Kuteesa, the state minister for international affairs,
Henry Okello Oryem and the Uganda ambassador to the US, Mull Katende
attended Monday’s meeting.
South Sudan’s civil war is a conflict in South Sudan between
government troops and the armed opposition forces. In December 2013,
President Salva Kiir accused his former deputy Riek Machar and 10
others of attempting a coup d’état. The conflict has killed tens of
thousands of people and displaced millions.

The SPLM is so fractured and confused. Uniting them again is
like bringing hyenas, monkeys, goats and foxes together to form a
functioning circus. M7 just forget.

M7 now that you have identified the problem to be ideology, what
next? Kiir is your best business friend, Just call and advise him to
stop war and develop ideology. I commend your concern. However, direct
involvement in south Sudan conflict in 2013 has crippled your
reputation. last week more arms come through Uganda to south Sudan
government, was that meant for unification. try harder anyway.

"Lack of ideology caused South Sudan’s conflict, says Museveni"
Unfortunately that is exactly true but hosts of other issues like:
Selfishness, greed, believe in Ngundeng’s superstitions & fantasies,
believe that you must be the one to rule South Sudan & the South
Sudanese people at all costs or South Sudan mustn’t exist,
unpatriotic-ism, primitivity, illiteracy among other were the ones
that>>>

happened in 2013 & continued to happen to this very day is nothing
short of ’a grand treason’ that carries a life imprisonment or a

simple & square, nothing less nothing
more. To be honest fellows, some Nuers were fighting to put their Riek
Machar into power purposely to fulfilled their Ngendaeng Biong fantasy
& superstition. For some Equatorians though, they are fighting their
aged-old "Korkora"---that the Jenges/Dinkas are taking over their
Juba. Little do they understand that their Juba is a South Sudanese
capital>>>

And these same Jenges/Dinkas were the
same Jenges/Dinkas who crisscrossed their whole Equatoria blasting out
*Mundukru/Arabs out* of their villages & towns when most of them were
in Uganda, Khartoum, DRC or other countries. And these same
Jenges/Dinkas died in their hundred of thousands in Equatoria
liberating it as their own country>>>

Yes, there were some Dinka/Jenge
pastorals who were letting their cattle destroyed crops in former
Western Equatoria & Central Equatoria. Which was a menace to all South
Sudanese people & the government of South Sudan gave orders for the
pastoral communities to get the ’hell of farmlands’ & the order was
carried out by the authorities as was directed>>>

And even before some of our
people of former Central Equatoria let their balls carried them away &
joined their Riek Machar aimless armed rebellion in July last year.
They were rightly informed to not joined in the Riek Machar aimless
armed rebellion because, war in their communities was not going to be
good for them & the South Sudanese people. But some of them failed to
heed the warning anyway>>

simply because some of our

Indeed M7 hit the nail on the head. S.Sudanese leaderships,
precisely the SPLM party has no ideology and vision for this country.
They careless about it’s people. They looted and pillaged all the
nations wealth for themselves, leaving people in desperate situation.
People are dying of hunger,diseases and systematic night killings by
those in uniform. The perpetrators were not brought to justice.

"Identity is important and it should not be promoted in the

politics in his own word to my understanding the tribalism of
identifing one another as ethics so called tribal
Fault line, should not be used to divided people,we should
embrace these multicultural, multilingual and accept ourselves as

When UPDF troops was in South Sudan M7 called this term as
Bilateral Intervention ,,,,When UPDF forces left South Sudan M7 Called

lead as vehement ethnical War.
