Third party to be a buffer between Machar’s and Kiir’s forces is a contradiction. The SPLMIO always say they don’t want foreign forces in South Sudan. Ugandan troops had to pull out from the country because the SPLMIO were opposed to them. The third party that you want to be deployed in this country falls in the category of alien forces that aren’t needed in South Sudan.
Taking members of the SPLMIO back to Fangak is a waste of resources. It was hard financially and logistically to fly them to Juba. It would be a miracle for the IGAD, UN and the international community to accept your wish of flying current members of the SPLMIO in Juba back to Fangak using donor taxpayers’ money.
