US call for the withdrawal of foreign forces that have interfered in the internal conflict between rival factions in South Sudan has coincided with Sudan's call announced earlier for the same purpose.
Sudanâs minister of Foreign affairs has told reporters in Khartoum that his government is opposed to any foreign military intervention in the neighbouring country.
âSudan has the most interests of all other neighbours regarding what is happening in South Sudan because of security, economic and strategic reasons,â the minister said.
âSudan is standing on the side of stability in South Sudan, but we principally reject foreign intervention in that country,â he said. âThis intervention may attract other regional sides to do likewise and that deeply concerns us; even Ethiopia has expressed its concern over these Ugandan military operations in South Sudan,â he explained.
Although US's strong worded call came late, it has warned of âany regionalization of the conflictâ that may result from such foreign interference.
According to analysts, Ugandaâs unilateral military action will undermined the effectiveness of the mediation effort by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development. Without a broader regional approach neither South Sudan nor the region as a whole are likely to see more stability in the future.
The military intervention will lead to regional state of insecurity and instability.Conflict analyst say that Uganda's military intervention is dangerous to the horn of Africa countries which kept at distance from the internal conflict and only tried to help the worldâs youngest nation get to its feet again.
Uganda has previously rejected calls by Western donors to withdraw its troops from South Sudan. This comes almost two days after Norway, which is the countryâs major donor, pushed for Ugandaâs withdrawal from the volatile South Sudan. The Ugandan President treats other African nations as he were the police of the region.
