On Sunday, thirty-two (32) members – among which five (5) of them have been brought back – of the SPLM-In-Opposition in Cairo declared their allegiance to Taban Deng’s group in Juba.

Thousands of ethnic Nuer civilians were killed in December 2013 when troops and militias loyal to president Salva Kiir allegedly Targeted Nuer civilian based on their ethnic identity.
The ethnic Targeting killings led the country into a bloody civil war which since then continued for two and half years fitting Kiir’s Dinka tribe against Machar’s Nuer tribe.
In August 2015, a shaky peace deal was signed by Dr Riek Machar Teny on behalf of the armed Opposition and president Salva Kiir on behalf of the South Sudan government which paved way for Machar’s return to Juba in April this year.
However, clashes, which led to Machar’s expulsion from Juba by Kiir, occurred in July between the Government and Opposition troops opening a new chapter of war between the two warring parties.
Since July there has been growing fear that South Sudan is at the brink of another full scale war unless the region and the international community intervene.
The region has approved 4000 strong troops that was approved by the AU and UNSC to be deployed in Juba, South Sudan, to protect civilians and installations, however, the government has continue to obstruct the deployment of foreign troops.
