Machar made the remarks during a meeting in his office with the newly appointed head of United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Nicolas Haysom who arrived in the country last month and who also met President Salva Kiir Mayardit on Wednesday.
“The newly appointed Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for South Sudan, Nicolas Haysom, today discussed a wide range of issues with the First Vice President of the Republic, H.E. Dr. Riek Machar Teny,” Machar’s office statement reads in part.
The two men, according to the statement, discussed the implementation of the revitalized peace deal signed by Machar and President Salva Kiir in 2018 and which has seen several setbacks especially in the implementation of the security arrangements.
“The First Vice President and the new chief of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) discussed the status of the implementation of the 2018 Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCISS), with emphasis on its challenges,” the statement said.
The statement said Machar who is also the opposition SPLM-IO leader briefed the new UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the delay experienced by the graduation of the unified forces and called for an immediate graduation of the forces without gun.
“Dr. Machar briefed the UN official at length on the progress made and the pending issues, inter alia, the delay in the graduation and deployment of the necessary unified forces as stipulated in the transitional security arrangements,” the statement said.
“Dr. Machar said it would be better to graduate the forces even if they don’t have weapons,” the statement said.
“Machar calls for graduation of forces without guns”
Mr. Riek Machar and his so-called army to be *integrated into South Sudan army* March with sticks or even or a rubber bullets and get away with it. During our mighty SPLA training, rubber bullets was for training. Rubber bullets destroyed some of young boys ‘eyes in training camps ‘ Bilpalm, Itang, Jebel Bongo, Merkuth (Panyudo), Dimmo, Raat (3 boys who struck down by lightening their training Jebel Bongo), Aweil, Nuba Mountains and other areas,
We are the Ancient Egytian fools. You can try and bring your rubbish into our country and over our people, we are going to bomb our enemies to near extinction, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. Careful fools.
