Kiir told members of his government and foreign diplomats at the closing of the governors’ forum that the recent military confrontation between the Sudanese Armed forces and the Ethiopian troops and their allied militias was worrying as it causes a security threat to the region.
The South Sudanese leader revealed he spoke to the Sudanese leader to stop the further escalation.
He did not disclose his discussions with Burhan, but the call took place after the recent visit of the Sudanese military leader to border areas with Ethiopia which was perceived as signs of preparations for escalations.
“I tried to talk to General Al Burhan to stop what they might have been thinking of,” said Kiir. “I didn’t talk to Prime Minister Abiy, but I will still try to talk to him,” he added.
Sudanese authorities announced on Saturday that several of its troops were killed in the border area of Fashaga by the Ethiopian government forces and their allied militia.
The Ethiopian government denied the allegation and instead blamed the TPLF for the attack on Sudanese forces.
On Wednesday morning, the Ethiopian forces and Amhara militiamen launched an attack with heavy artillery inside Sudanese territory.”
There were no casualties, among the soldiers or civilians as a result of the attack.
South Sudanese presidential adviser on security affairs told Sudan Tribune on Wednesday they were doing their best to help President Kiir to continue to play a key role in mediation efforts and to ensure peace and stability guide activities of leaders in the region.
War, according to Tut Gatluak, was not the best option and interest of any country in the region to use as a way to resolve territorial issues.

“Kiir, Burhan discuss border tensions with Ethiopia in phone call”
Even ordinary South Sudanese phone calls are are listened to by ‘South Sudanese recorded’, their phone calls that don’t. Their private lives must be protected at all costs. However, there are evils in the other countries who badly infiltrated South Sudan communications. On 15/12/2013 to early 2015, foiled coup attempt by Mr. Riek Machar, his allies, his backers from the US, the UK, their lackeys here in the IGAD, their UN, some of their Bantuses, Bentiu (so-called Unity state), their rubbish here in Jonglei. We killed a lot of them.
Where is Mr. Riek Machar, his wife, Angelina Ajany? Follow the Muonyjiengs/Jaangs/Jenges/Dinkas of the Sudan and Egypt and get away with it you really can. There are South Sudanese people who cannot live side by side with white people, Bantuses, cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan——we have fed up their cheap and dirty intrigues. We have asked the low low lives to get their rubbishes away from South Africa, Kenya, here in South Sudan in people before we put our hands them, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. FOLLOW us.>>>
