Let's hope it is not a case of East African oppressors/dictators (who pretend to be democrats) supporting one of their own in South Sudan. The decision for a cease fire was taken at a summit attended by only one side of the conflict (the government). One would have expected a neutral body of East African Presidents to treat the South Sudan opposition led by a former Vice President with some respect. This is not a collection of rag tag Sudanese rebelling against the government as it was in Syria at the begining of what later turned into a civil war. You don't dictate cease fire to a side after listening to the other side in a conflict. After all, the South Sudanese President is said to have dismantled all political machinery of his political party to ensure that he remains in power come rain come sunshine. This is another case of Cry our beloved continent! These sit-tight African presidents need to attend Madiba School of governing & stepping aside.

Neutrality is fine but accenting "internal affairs" is a nuance we know.
The ultimate goal of intervention is to stop the human calamity; not to decide who is right or wrong. When arms are laid down, reasonable people can seek solutions; they do not jump in the bushes to fight and the government does not kill opponents who have legitimate rights to disagree.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with a call for neutrality!
Sent from my iPhoneIt is rather unfortunate that from the safety of America, eating three square meals a day, a group, under the guise of sovereignty to decide internal affairs, is telling the world that the displaced citizens, the killings and mayhem ought to be of no concern to non- South Sudanese. Nowhere in today's geopolitical dispensations is this type of territorial prerogative an excuse.The regional governments must intervene to prevent mayhem. Reasonable people will think that all parties must lay down their weapons for peace talk to prevail.MsJoeIn a message dated 12/30/2013 11:35:29 A.M.
