SSHURSA urges international community to disallow President Museveni
destroying South Sudan

The South Sudan Human Rights society for Advocacy (SSHURSA) calls upon the
sincere members of the international Community and the African Union to
disallow Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who has already prepared
to destroy South Sudan.

Considering President Museveni as one of the key central figures in
IGAD-Peace led mediation and reconciliation over South Sudan’s recent
crisis, is a terrible miscalculation by the regional body, the IGAD and
unforgivable betrayal of the people of South Sudan by the international
Community. The United States and British Governments as well as other
nations should rise up to prevent more bloodbaths fueled by Mr. Museveni in
South Sudan. President Museveni is known by many South Sudanese citizens as
partial, one sided self-proclaimed mediator and great mouth in meddling in
South Sudan’s internal politics and security matters. For the last one year,
he had been accused by sections of citizens in South Sudan and Uganda
Parliament as a man who encourages crises in the South Sudan’s ruling SPLM
party internal affairs as he has been allged of misadvising South Sudanese
President Salva Kiir to listen to no one but believing in military might of
the Uganda People’s Defence Forces to back up the latter’s own military
guards against any internal political critics.

Against that background, Mr. Museveni cannot be one of the mediators on
South Sudanese internal crises as he has always been known by sane South
Sudanese and Ugandans of his partiality by taking unilateral military
decision to deploy UPDF to fuel violence in South Sudan.

SSHURSA recommends the following:

1.      Calls on the International Community should strongly condemn and
urge Mr. Museveni to stop meddling in South Sudanese internal affairs and
restraint him from uttering statements that don’t serve purpose of peace and
reconciliation in South Sudan but fueling violence

1.      Urges Mr. Museveni to stop moblizing IGAD countries to destroy South
Sudan militarily under the claim of fighting SPLA forces against Juba under
former South Sudan’s VP Riek Machar.

1.      Urges Uganda Parliament to pass a motion against illegal deployment
of UPDF to call on Mr. Museveni to withdraw them from South Sudan before it
is regarded as forces of occupation.

1.      SSHURSA urges sane members of South Sudan Legislative Assembly to
pass a motion against the deployment of Uganda’s troops in South Sudanese
soil which fuels internal conflict.

1.      SSHURSA calls upon IGAD to pursue peace and reconciliation by
discussing root causes of crises with the ruling party SPLM rather than
taking sides to further deep wounds among the South Sudanese people who are
well educated in what has been going in South Sudan and how the current
crises started.

1.      Calls upon international human rights groups and people of good will
to expose and condemn Museveni’s acts of partiality that is fueling crises
in South Sudan and throwing Great Lakes region into crises. Any sane human
being must ask; if Museveni’s UPDF failed to defeat the rebellion of Nothern
Uganda Joseph Konyi’s Lord Resistance Army for over 20 years, what miracle
would he have to be successful in foreign land if not yearn for organized
anarchy in South Sudan to divert the intention of Ugandans from their own
internal governance crises?

1.      SSHURSA also calls upon international community to pressure on
President Salva Kiir to release the 11 political detainees he alleged of
staging a coup against him. The release will pave way for dialogue between
him and his former deupty Riek Machar.

1.      SSHURSA calls upon UN to create buffer zone between the fighting
forces to prevent more escalation of violence and pressure the two leaders
for talks genuinely meant to bring sanity, peace and true reconciliation to
South Sudan.

1.      Calls upon Uganda and South Sudanese civil society to stage
demonstrations against iilegal deployment of UPDF in South Sudan.

1.      Finally, SSHURSA condemns the violence and the irresponsible SPLM
dictatorship that has thrown the country into deep insecurities and also
pays deep condolences to all families for the loss of dear ones in the
senseless war.
