Yei River State: European Union Worried About The Clashes.

-


The clashes in Yei River State has not gone unrecognized by the International Community. The European Union (EU) has decided to make their opinion heard on the current conflict in Yei River State between the three warring parties. 
That is National Salvation Front (NAS) led by Thomas Cirilo who is leading the Equatoria community to fight for change in the country. The Second group is the South Sudan Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLMA-IO) group led by Dr. Riek Machar and finally the group in government that is the South Sudan People Defence Force (SSPDF) representing the government. 
National Salvation Front (NAS) recently rejected the call by South Sudan President H.E President Salva Kiir Mayardit to end it’s rebellion. This means they are calling for war and not ready to peace unless their terms are met. 
In the statement from one of the National Salvation Front (NAS) officials he said that “We felt that this peace is not real peace, we believe this peace is a duplication of the previous problems, and we don’t want to be part of it. We told the elders that our main objective is to completely transform the South Sudan political system into a democratic system.” In a statement that was released in the National Salvation Front (NAS) is that they are ready for peace to come to South Sudan through War. 
The National Salvation Front (NAS) is reiterating for the government and other country of interest to try to address the root cause of the conflict rather than rush to sign the peace and later see war erupting again in the country. 
The European Union (EU) said that “: “The EU Delegation follows with deep concern the ongoing violence in Yei River and Amadi States and condemns violations of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, and the Revitalized Agreement.”
This means none of the warring parties are willing to follow the agreement signed or the cessation of the hostilities which was signed by the three warring parties. The fighting which erupted in Yei River County on 19th January 2019 seems to be escalating out of hand. 
On the second hand Euro is one of the Major donor of all the major activities in South Sudan, they are even the one funding the revitalize peace agreement in the country and some of the major international and national NGOs in the country. 
This means the innocent civilians currently residing in Yei River State will feel the effect of the war. There will be no farming no school and no health services. The people of the Yei River State is in dire need of help. 
The European union consist of the 28 member countries including Belgium France Germany Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Denmark Ireland United Kingdom Greece Portugal Spain Austria Finland Sweden Cyprus Czechia Estonia Hungary and many other countries. 
The official currency of the European Union members is the Euro and 19 out of the 28 countries collective use the Euro. The countries using the Euro or the members of the Euro are known as the Eurozone.

President Salva Kiir Mayardit has dismissed General Dau Aturjong Nyuol from his position as the Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) of the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) and re-appointed General Paul Nang Majok to the powerful military post. The decree, announced on state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) on Tuesday night, did not specify the reason for the abrupt change in command.  However, sources within the military say the move could be part of broader efforts by the President to reassert control over the army amid growing internal and regional tensions. Gen. Paul Nang Majok previously held the same position before being replaced by Gen. Dau Aturjong earlier this year.  His return to the top military office signals renewed trust from the President and possibly a shift in the SSPDF’s leadership approach as the country faces multiple security and political challenges. The reshuffle comes at a critical time when the army is engaged in several operation...
