Desperation in South Sudan: The Urgency Behind President Kiir's Pursuit of Firearm
In an unprecedented turn of events, the diplomatic relations between South Sudan and the United States appear to be teetering on the brink of implosive collapse.
President Salva Kiir's recent visit to Moscow has yielded unexpected gains for South Sudan, with both countries formalizing a bilateral pact that includes a Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U) concerning the supply of firearms from Russia to South Sudan's government.
It's a move that has raised eyebrows worldwide, given South Sudan's pre-existing sanctions by the United Nations for the misuse of arms and human rights violations.
The signed agreement permits Russia to supply arms to South Sudan's government for an initial five-year period, with the possibility of extension. The Putin administration has seemingly spared no effort to court President Salva Kiir's favor, going so far as to offer a substantial military aid package to South Sudan. This package includes six Mil Mi-24 helicopter fighters, eleven tanks, one riverine patrol vessel, and an undisclosed quantity of small firearms and ammunition—all offered as donations to support South Sudan's government in arming the Necessary Unified forces, a group poised and waiting for deployment.
The question that looms large in the international community's mind is: Why is President Salva Kiir so desperate to acquire firearms, even in the face of international sanctions and scrutiny?
As we delve into the depths of this issue, it becomes evident that the urgency behind this pursuit of firepower warrants careful consideration. President Kiir's motivations, the potential consequences for the region, and the international response to this unexpected alliance will all play pivotal roles in shaping the future of South Sudan and its diplomatic relations with the world.
