Claims by the Ugandan government that its military interference on the side of Salva Kiir has prevented a genocide from occurring in South Sudan is a white lie! First of all, President Yoweri Musevenis government helped in negatively influencing Salva Kiir in inciting the war which Kiir triggered with the Juba massacre of over 20,000 innocent unarmed Nuer civilians. UPDF also protected Kiirs bad leadership in Juba from advancing freedom fighters from Bor in January and has since continued to use its air power and tanks to kill more South Sudanese. Uganda has also helped to spread the war to some other states in South Sudan. Therefore to claim that it has prevented killings since December 15 has no truth in it. Actually Uganda is a negative factor in protracting and spreading the war. It shares a huge responsibility in the ongoing suffering of the people of South Sudan. The best thing Uganda can do now after this mess is to withdraw its troops unconditionally. Otherwise, South Sudanese will continue to defend their country from these foreign occupation forces until they are dislodged...
