Nov 23, 2016(Nyamilepedia) —– Whether the Region forced Dr. Riek Machar to exile or not, full scale war cannot be avoided as long the regime in Juba exists. Dr. Riek Machar is not inspirer of armed conflict facing this nation but simple man entrusted by those who felt victim of the regime in Juba, to lead the struggle for the betterment of all south Sudanese including the region.

Those who want see south Sudan is stable and in Peace must know that, the key for South Sudan peace and stability is with Dr. Riek Machar and any attempt to separate him from the movement or depose him from the leadership of the movement, it will worsen the situation because the movement will possible spilt into factions on tribal lines which will not only make national unity impossible, but dismantle south Sudan, and make it ungovernable because there is no any political leader at this crucial stage like him to hold more than 200,000 SPLM/A- IO forces together under one command.

If the International Community is interested in bringing peace and stability to the people of South Sudan as well the region at large, then Dr. Riek Machar must be deeply involved in the process – because he is the only one that has the influence on the rebel fighters. This can be proved by the experience of the Government with Taban Deng Gai when the Government toppled the leadership of Dr. Riek Machar and replaced him with Taban Deng Gai on false assumptions; they (Government) failed to arrest the situations and bring that peace and stability because all the armed forces of the SPLM-IO including the politicians and supporters remained with Riek Machar –  leaving Taban Deng Gai without any control over the army or the political structure of the SPM-IO, and as a reault,  the stability and peace that government thought will come without Dr. Riek Machar, failed.

The President Kirr himself admitted it in his statement that, “all Nuer has gone with Dr. Riek Machar while the Equatorian youths remained in the bush.” The statement confirms the influence of Dr. Riek Machar in political affairs of South Sudan and therefore excluding him from any political system of the south Sudan at this moment, won’t be helpful in resolving our national political crisis.

Since Dr. Riek Machar was forced out of the Country to Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), then to Sudan and now to South Africa, he is still in control of the entire SPLM-IO forces and trying to keep him away, won’t solve any problems because he (Dr. Riek Machar) is part to the solutions of South Sudan as well part to entire armed forces in structure of the SPLM-IO.

It is time for the regional body to understand the significant of Dr. Riek Machar in the political affairs of South Sudan and involves him deeply or else, forget about Peace and Stability in South Sudan because their (International Community) exclusive efforts won’t yield any fruits.

He do not knew that Dr. Riek Machar (Black devastated the meaning of Dr.traditinal language ) is World isolated leader because of his poor politics though educated. Keep fighting we all share proportions of war together although you took your family’s to aboard scarcity shall still be a great factors. Short reasoning capacity act rational and forget national agendas. War doesn’t determine winner not to died only that you beats drums of in the absence of it all then you would have mind your own sustainability
Thanks for reading
