JUBA – South Sudan’s defense and veteran affairs minister, Angelina Teny, has said the United Nations Security Council will only lift the arms embargo on South Sudan when the transitional security arrangements provided for in the revitalized peace agreement are fully implemented.

The government and a number of opposition groups including the main armed opposition SPLM-IO signed a revitalized version of a 2015 peace agreement in 2018. That agreement provides for the demilitarization of important towns and reunification of the rival forces.

There are currently thousands of soldiers in training camps awaiting graduation. The government has for several times claimed that it cannot graduate the forces because of lack of guns which it said was imposed by the arms embargo imposed by the United Nations in 2018.

Speaking to reporters at the defense ministry headquarters in Bilpam on Friday, Teny who is a senior member of the main armed opposition SPLM-IO said her ministry will work toward achieving the benchmark laid out by the UN Security Council.

“They (UN Security Council) came up with a benchmark and they will probably use this benchmark when they come to review and discuss the arm embargo in May 31,” She said.

She reiterated her ministry readiness to implement the security sector reform

“We take this benchmark positively because the UN is giving us targets, what they want to see happen. With this, we try to look at it and see what we can do and what we feel can be achieved,” he said.

She said the UN wants the security organ complete the Strategic Defense and Security Review process before lifting the arm embargo.

The UN Security benchmark includes completion of the security policy framework, completion of the revised defense policy, immediate end to the recruitment of security forces, recruitment and use of children, and the release of all children from the ranks of the armed forces and their handover to civilian child protection actors.

    “Angelina Teny says UN won’t lift arms embargo until security sector reform completed”

    What the woman think she is? We don’t need any damn weapons from your masters piece of trash. We have better weapons than your masters some of these days. Didn’t your ‘nuers ke nyantoc idiots’ often claim that they are *the Israelis in Africa*??!! Oh really? Go and talk to your fake PhD dcotor, Mr. Riek Machar..

    Ms. Ajany, watch out, you are going to pay for your damn life, like then husban Mr. Riek Machar. South Sudan is ‘a muonjaangs/Jaangs/ Dinkas/Jenges countty’. You are not being handled ‘kid gloves some of these days’. Khartoum and our Egypt are countries. When you low lives are told the truth, then you go and claim, it is yours.

    Where are the Nigerian piece of trash, Ghanians, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes and some of the Bantuses low lives? Our Nuers ke nyantoc piece of trashes, *your are least educated fool here in the region* And ‘if the muonjaangs/Jaangs/ Dinkas/Jenges’ welcomed the so-called *AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION* being propagated by *secret societies and low lives of former South African president, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, current Rwandan president, Mr. Paul Kagame, former Tanzania president, Mr. Jakaya Kikwete, current Kenyan president, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta, his rival, Mr. Raila Odinga.

    Former Abesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitute’s criminal Mr. Hailemariam Desalegn, his successor, Mr. Abiye Ahmed , Mr. Malik Agaar, Mr. Yasir Arman.

    But tell our Nuers ke nyantoc that your ‘muonyjaangs/Jaangs/Dinkas/Jenges’ cousins are way too well ahead than your masters. Then they don’t listen, when they are later bombed, then they run to foreign capitals, then go and lie through their teeth that they were running away from South Sudan government simply because they were ‘nuers’ who give a damn about the low lives?

    On this planet earth, there is no one who can welcome ‘a nuer’ in his/her backyards. They can go to USA, Canada, all the Nordic counries, Australia or New Zealand.

    But always come to South Sudan with nothing in their stupid skulls.

    The low lives have been informed that their best allies are going to be bombed our of this planet
