#UNMISS closure of Akobo base may be due to financial constraint (mostly on account of arrears owed by the #US and #China) but is highly symbolic in such a context. The #UN have reversed the signal it had sent Kiir by staying amid military operations - and have essentially given him a blank check.

#SouthSudan #Africa

Since then, and repeatedly, the South Sudanese government has taken aim at the #UN mission in the country (#UNMISS), in a context of open defiance towards any external pressure to "keep" the #peace, democratize #SouthSudan, or implement minimal state-building reforms.

Operations to retake Akobo from the opposition a month ago have seen hostility to UNMISS come to a head. The government had ordered peacekeepers to leave ; they have stayed to better protect civilians.

#Africa

Meanwhile, it has jailed vice-president Machar and essentially shattered the former #peace agreement to capture the state. President Kiir is on a mission to obtain international support for an end to the "transition" which is both premature and overdue. No significant reforms have been implemented since the end of the previous civil #war in 2018. #Elections which can be neither free nor fair are planned at the end of this year to legitimize Kiir's self-#coup.

#SouthSudan #Africa

#UN closure of #SouthSudan 's Akobo base sends the wrong political signal

For a little over a year now, the civil #war in South Sudan has reignited. War crimes by all parties are now commonplace, while the dire humanitarian situation has been deliberately worsened.

Today’s elites have remained the same and their rift has endured. The Dinka president Salva Kiir, born in 1951, has held his position continously since 2005. He has only faced elections once, in 2010. The Nuer vice-president and head of the #SPLM-IO (In Opposition) Riek Machar, born in 1950, has also held his position almost continuously since 2005 (apart from the war years).
