The Department of State Re-evaluation of the U.S. Relationship with the Government of South Sudan.

The South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOMA) welcomes the statement of the US State Department through its Spokesman Morgan Ortagus on November 13th regarding the unfolding political situation in South Sudan. SSOMA appreciates the United States’ position of standing with the suffering people of South Sudan in pursuit of peace in the country.

The South Sudan Opposition Movements Alliance (SSOMA) welcomes and commend the statement by the African Union Peace and Security Council...

NAS and its allies in the SSOMA believe that sustainable peace in South Sudan can only be achieved when the root causes of the conflict are addressed in a process that is genuine, inclusive of all the stakeholders and devoid of coercion, threats and intimidation

Following a series of unprovoked attacks by the Salva Kiir’s militia – aka the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) – and other militia allied to it in Morobo Country, Central Equatoria State, the revolutionary forces of the National Salvation Front (NAS) fought back in self-defence and managed to dislodge the enemy from (and liberate) Panyana military base.

The Alliance strongly believes that the wrongful and hasty formation of any new transitional government under the leadership of Salva Kiir Mayardit, and without addressing the fundamental root causes of the conflict is another recipe for a return to full-blown violence in South Sudan; as was witnessed in July 2016 – with the death of over 700 people in the capital, Juba.
