The situation is worrying in South Sudan. The news circulating that a "New LRA" is functioning in the South is not to be brushed under the carpet. The groups have been carrying out copy-cat killings of civilians similar to the notorious LRA of Joseph Kony.
True, if the government in Khartoum happens to be behind the killings of innocent´civilians, that will be the worse violation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. Why will they do such a thing?
There has always been suspicion about Khartoum. Although the CPA was signed, a number of militias remain loyal to Khartoum. These are the groups which are threatening the peace in South Sudan. These groups must be reined in for stability to prevail.
GOSS must exercise its authority over the whole South Sudan. No rag tag militias must be allowed. A thorough investigation must be carried out. If Khartoum is implicated, the evidence must be made known. All the perpetrators must be brought to justice as soon as possible.

BK, are civilians still being killed in the South????
That's new news to me.
Hipster, the peace is fragile in South Sudan. Although an agreement is signed, most of it not yet implemented.
Khartoum still support some militia groups, despite the CPA. Khartoum uses them in South Sudan and South Kordofan to destabilize the civilians in order to descredit the new autonomous government of South Sudan.
Our problems are stll big, Hipster. We are happy about stability, but fear return to war. The recent clashes resemble LRA, but they were former Sudan Armed Forces soldiers. Too bad. South Sudanese can never trust the Arab government in Khartoum, ever!
Thankx for the clarification.
Too bad.I thought the CPA was a milestone but it seems my happiness is short-lived.
