With input from Juba, Khartoum, and London resources. South Sudan Vice-President Riek Machar has begun escalating his attacks against Pres. Salva Kiir in order to divert attention from the total failure of his latest diplomatic mission to Khartoum to restore and sustain oil exports from South Sudan via the Sudanese pipeline to the Red Sea.
At the same time that Sudan not only rebuffed Machar’s conciliatory approach (in defiance of one of Sudan’s major backers, the People’s Republic of China), it reiterated its own assertiveness by attacking and bombing civilian-refugee targets inside South Sudan. Machar, attempting to deflect blame for his negotiating failure, began telling the international media that he could, and should, be a better President of South Sudan than the elected incumbent, Salva Kiir.
He also has stepped up use of his support base of Nuer tribesmen and other colleagues, particularly those in the diaspora around the world, to attack any reporting which gives a neutral or pro-Kiir portrayal of events in South Sudan.
