S. Sudan rejects peace deal after listening to faulty advice

Sudan—South Sudan's government refused to sign a peace deal with rebels on
Monday,
despite the threat of international sanctions, but will return to
finalize an agreement within 15 days, Al Manar news reported.
Rebel chief Riek Machar however said he had signed a deal, and called on President Salva Kiir to join.
"It was an opportunity for us to end the war," Machar said.
"We call on President Kiir to reconsider his position so that they can sign and we can go forward," he added.
The United States and Great Britain on Tuesday pushed for sanctions to punish South Sudan for failing to resolve the war conflict by signing the peace deal.
"If the government will not sign up to the IGAD-plus deal, then we must all be firm on our next steps," British Deputy Ambassador Peter Wilson told the 15-member Security Council.
"We cannot sit by while leaders fight and their people's suffering grows," AFP quoted the British diplomat.
What the Europeans and other players seem to ignore is that the same forces that were behind the instability in Congo, and Burundi have a lot to lose if Salva Kiir signs the deal, so they are giving him faulty advice, since the leaders of that region have a reputation of breaking signed agreements. Both Kiir and Burundi's Nkurunziza are puppets doing the bidding of their masters.
Peace in the region means the EU and US would not be sending billions of dollars in aid for peace-keeping purposes to the actors in the region. It also means those same actors cannot loot South Sudan oil because the agreements on profit-sharing from oil revenue would be transparent.
It is therefore not in the interest of the vipers whispering in Salva Kiir's ear, for him to sign a peace agreement, even though publicly the same snakes pretend to be on the side of peace.
The United States should wake up and realize that African presidents view war as a big business and blessing, that's why the region is always in a perpetual state of war. Without war, the treacherous fat-cheeked presidents who invent those wars would not be able to accumulate the loot that they have. They would not also be able to convince the international community to send them money to contain peace, and they certainly would not be able to rob their own national treasuries in the name of buying weapons to protect their nations, even though those monies are sent to offshore accounts or used to build palatial mansions.
The only solution to lasting peace in South Sudan is for the cancerous two-faced trouble-makers to be completely uprooted, since they are the ones covertly destabilizing the region and keeping Africans in poverty. Add Comments>>
