NUER coup attemp fails in south sudan

[sahal80]

One of the reasons why the south sudanese always wanted to be part of khartoum before the oil production and still many of them do was that they will not be able to rule themselves, have a laws, justice, police, courts say the modern state also the south lacks a total infrastructure as the past development projects were limited to the northern part of the ex country

There is a deep conflict between the two pastoralist south sudanese nilotic ethnicities, one of them is the ruling dinka the clan of jonh grang, the other one is called nuer, the clan of his deputy in the SPLM riyak mashar. both of them displace eachother and can't live next to eachother

Months ago, president salva kiir has fired his deputy riyak mashar also dissolved the cabinet

south sudan exports 245000 oil barrells per day(sudan has 5.bn barrels of oil reserves 3.5 bn barrels in the south and 1.5 in the north it doesn't include the oil rich contested state of abye wich will depend on a refferendum yet be...sudan has more GAS yet to be...)

The new country is ruled by a lawless and a mafia group, its president states that "his officials had stolen $4bn from the oil revenues"!!

A green country yet they have no food to eat they live as pastoralists, still they have 2 million refugees who depend on the aid and food agencies, 98 percent of their national revenue is from the oil!

Pupulation wise they are 8m

The asians are the south sudans trade partners and import their oil; china, malaysia, india, japan

South sudan pays khartoum $300m for oil transportation fees yet the khartoum each time threatens to close down unless jubba ceases supporting the rebles

To stop this economical dependence on khartoum they are planning to export their oil in two ways: through djibouti via ethiopia and through kenya

china is afraid of the US becoming their potential trade partner bc at the moment there are restriction on the amirican companies to do business with sudan, however japan may build one of their new pipelines...

" | By Press Association
Soldiers loyal to a former vice president have attempted to overthrow the government of South Sudan, with sporadic fighting between factions across the capital Juba in the latest violence to hit the world's youngest nation.

President Salva Kiir said in a televised address to the nation that the military had foiled the coup.The soldiers had attacked the South Sudanese military headquarters near Juba University late on Sunday.

"The attackers went and (the) armed forces are pursuing them," Mr Kiir said. "I promise you today that justice will prevail."

The government is now "in full control of the military situation" in Juba, he said, ordering a dawn-to-dusk curfew in the city.

Details of the attempted coup remained sketchy, but foreign minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin said troops within the main army base raided the weapons store in Juba but were repulsed. Some politicians had since been arrested, he said, but could not confirm if former vice president Riek Machar - who he said led the attempted coup -was among them. He said the coup was plotted by "disgruntled" soldiers and politicians led by Machar.

Heavily armed soldiers patrolled the streets of Juba on Monday amid gunfire emerging from the city's main army barracks. The streets were largely empty of civilians, with most staying indoors.

Although Mr Kiir is leader of the ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement party, many of the dismissed ministers, including Mr Machar, were key figures in the rebel movement that fought a decades-long war against Sudan that led to South Sudan's independence in 2011. Machar, a deputy chairman of the ruling party, is one of the country's most influential politicians.

The local Sudan Tribune newspaper reported that military clashes erupted late on Sunday between members of the presidential guard in fighting that seemed to pit soldiers from Mr Kiir's Dinka tribe against those from the Nuer tribe of Mr Machar.

Hilde Johnson, special representative of the United Nations secretary-general for South Sudan, said she was "deeply concerned" over the fighting.

" I urge all parties in the fighting to cease hostilities immediately and exercise restraint. I have been in touch regularly with the key leaders, including at the highest levels to call for calm," she said.

South Sudan has experienced bouts of ethnic violence, especially in rural Jonglei state, since the country peacefully broke away from Sudan after a brutal civil war."
