The African Union (AU) was warned by South Sudan’s army to keep its peacekeepers out of the country unless asked by the government for help.
Lul Ruai Koang said that “any deployment of a foreign force that is not authorized by the political leadership is going to be resisted,” according to an Associated Press report.
It’s not just the army and government that are resistant to AU troops in the country, hundreds of South Sudanese rallied in Juba to protest against the AU’s plan to send troops with a “robust mandate” to end conflict between forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and his rival, Riek Machar.
The Associated Press cited organizer Ajongo Ajongo as saying “If the international community continues to bring in all their alleged military in South Sudan, we will fight them whether they come by air or by road. We will be malicious. South Sudan will become an even worse place than Afghanistan. Let the peace come from us. Don’t impose things on us. It will be regrettable.”
