JUBA – The United States of America has called on President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar to de-escalate tensions and uphold their respective obligations under the peace agreement.

In a statement issued on Tuesday evening, the US Department of State said it notes with great concern the growing tensions in South Sudan, including recent clashes between the SSPDF and the SPLA/M-IO in Upper Nile state.

“The United States notes with concern the growing tensions in South Sudan, including recent clashes between the South Sudan People’s Defense Force’s (SSPDF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army/Movement-In Opposition (SPLA/M-IO) in Upper Nile state,” said the statement seen by Sudans Post on Wednesday.

The US statement called on both sides to observe fully their obligations under the existing peace agreement and note that inflammatory rhetoric is counterproductive and should cease immediately.

“The SPLM-IO’s withdrawal from all peace agreement monitoring and verification mechanisms undermines the peace agreement and must be immediately reversed as ceasefire monitoring bodies investigate the recent violence and seek to hold perpetrators responsible,” it said.

“The United States calls on President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Riek Machar to do their utmost to de-escalate tensions and to uphold their respective obligations under the 2018 peace agreement, including its ceasefire provisions,” it added.

The US called on the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the guarantors of the 2018 revitalized peace agreement to take swift action to lower tensions and put the peace process back on track prior to the expiration of the already extended transition period in February 2023.

“We call on both leaders to resume implementation of key, long-delayed provisions of the revitalized peace agreement, including taking the necessary steps to establish an inclusive process to draft a new constitution, to establish necessary electoral legislation and mechanisms, and to respect the freedoms of expression, association, and peaceful assembly,” it said.

“All sides bear responsibility for the deteriorating situation. Neither President Kiir nor First Vice President Machar has made good faith efforts to implement the provisions of the revitalized peace agreement, and both have resisted serious attempts to move South Sudan towards the peace, security, and prosperity the South Sudanese people continue to desire,” had it further said.

    “America urges Kiir, Machar to de-escalate tensions”

    The US and it bunch of out touch criminals in the US departments and council for relations must start to learn some new reality, especially anything to do with South Sudan and the South Sudanese people. Here in South Sudan, the boys and girls who an absolute contempt towards anything the US, the UK, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs and their gulf Arab states terror exporter and financiers stand for are taking over. And the devil worshipers, secret societies and cabals who have embedded themselves to our country and our people like leeches or ticks, don’t even know leeches or ticks are sometimes poison out of host bodies.

    Here is a case evils in the US. first of all fix your own tension between African American sand white people, Latinos (however some of them are white people) Anglo Saxon Americans, Asian Americans and white people and Indigenous Americans and white people. Before the US poke it usual long nose and neck into other people international issues. Who elected the US to be world police anyway? The level of hypocrisy the US, the UK, so-called Western countries and their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dog stink high heavens.

    People have already reverted back to our old ways, dealing with our enemies. Here in South Sudan we informed our enemies about intention so that our would not blame us later we take action, it is we the way we do thing. We have thoroughly informed our South Sudan inside or outside South Sudan, to never ever again daring bring anything that is *connected to our cloned so-called Arabs North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians), Bantuses, Americans, English people, gulf Arab states’ Arabs, evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, Italians,Irish, Portuguese, Dutch (so-called Afrikaans), Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans, Rwandans, Nigerians, gays and lesbian into our country and over our people in the of rebuilding South Sudan on disguise or pretext of the so-called UN AGENDA 21, UN AGENDA 3O, UN AGENDA 50, NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENTS WITHOUT BORDERS, GOVERNMENT OF RUN BY NGOS, SO-CALLED PEACEKEEPERS THROUGH DONATIONS from ‘devil worshipers, robber Barons, secret societies and cabals’, with their loots, in Nairobi, Kenya, Adis Ababa, so-called ethiopia, prostitute, Johannesburg, South Africa, Lagos, Nigeria, Accra Ghana, Abu Dhabi, UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, London, devil infested island of England, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Cayman islands, Panama, Wall Street, New York, US of all scammers and their so-called HUMAN RIGHTS, business scam.
