Ethiopia Admits Supporting South Sudan Rebel Leader Riek Machar
Ethiopia has extended military support to South Sudan rebel leader Riek Machar while simultaneously hosting the peace talks under the auspices of IGAD, an Eritrean Government official said yesterday.
Citing diplomatic sources, the official said the Ethiopian Government has acknowledged it is supporting Machar but attributed its support to "unruly acts of local commanders" within its military.
"Curiously, the news has not been picked up by the press as yet although it is now an open secret in the diplomatic grapevine." Said Yemane Ghebremeskel, the director of President Isaias Afwerki's office.
"Perhaps as a pre-emptory ploy, Ethiopia had earlier alluded to "circumstantial evidences" to falsely accuse Eritrea of supporting the group." Yemane added.
South Sudan has been shaken by violence since last December, when President Salva Kiir accused his sacked vice-president, Riek Machar, of attempting to overthrow his regime.
The conflict has already claimed more than 10,000 lives, with the U.N. estimating that some 3.7 million people in South Sudan are now “severely food insecure” while around one million have been displaced by the violence.

Can't say I'm surprised. All the circumstantial evidence pointed to them as the culprits. Now they are admitting its not their policy to support Machar even though their generals are clearly supporting his insurgency. Either Ethiopia is a failed state that has no control over its military commanders or supporting Machar is part of their regional strategy. I think it's a little bit of both. Ethiopia is a failed state that destabilizes its neighbors so it can go in there to conduct crises management to receive aid and political favors from the West.
ReplyDeleteWeyane hasad
ReplyDeletepathetic filth !! what a dirty race.
ReplyDeleteThe man Machar is shaking hands with is not Siyum Mesfin.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this site's obsession with Ethiopia? Can we leave them alone. That is not Seyoum Mesfin by the way and this story seems to be picked up only by Madote and again why I use this pen name.
ReplyDeleteEthiopia is becoming a massive regional power that is playing a big role in leading and stabilizing the East African countries. I am happy for what they have achieved in the last 10 or so years.They got all the East and southern Africa countries on their side so Egypt will not dare try what they have been doing for the last 60 years, distabilize Ethiopia and be the sole user of the Nile.
ReplyDeleteYou don´t say! LOL
ReplyDeleteHe is schaking hands with Wedi Gerahtu :) Tesfamicael Gerahtu.
ReplyDeleteVery sad indeed! It just beats my understanding why Ethiopia should remains a state to host south Sudan peace negotiations yet it is not neutral. No wonder why the peace is taking long to be achieved in South Sudan!
ReplyDeletedo you want to hide the man shaking Machar is not woyane . just you cannot hide it. It is open secret. Wedi Gerahtu is a hero and we will write his name there if he was him. We write wedi gerahtu Name in Bold letters unlike the cat faced woyane who is almost dead old cat.

ReplyDeleteissayas is punching above his weight,but the funny thing is no body cares. pfdj are trying to act like players on the region to fool their blind supporters,but Eritrean people knows this cockroaches have no balls or muscle to be involve in any thing outside the border,because the muscle behind EPLF was the Eritrean people and they abandon PFDJ,the gang of snakes who destroyed EPLF.

Woyane survival depends on distabilizing neighbouring countries, they plan well to first prepare some gojos and telts for the coming refugee storm close to the borders and gain dollars from UN. Again smuggle refugees to unknown destination, sell their bodiyparts, snatch their ID cards to replace them with tegarus. Woyane is exporting thousands of tgray children and HIV infested women abroad as Eritreans. They do with Somali Ethios, send them abroad as Somalis and gambelas as kenyans and S.Sudan. Woyane is evil that destroy thousands of innocent life and gain on people's suffering.
ReplyDeleteYoure delusional. Weyane is slaughtering oromos in Ethiopia and creating havok in S Sudan. Wake up
ReplyDeleteForget South Sudan, even Ethiopia is splittered into pieces as never before since woyane took the power. What they are building on the sand will fall apart by peoples revolution soon. Ethiopia will end-up as Iraq and Syria sooner than later. Wait and see.
ReplyDeleteGood News so far for the SPLM/A in oppostion to have good relationship with Ethiopia at this time.Ethiopia is one of Gaat Gan kiir, his given Name in thok naath, we called hime Wicyual Kiir, he is a five child of kiir beside,Mathiang, Kuan, Nyang and Jok Kiir. why not he can not involved to this problem.
ReplyDeleteWoyane is loosing USA attention and just wanted to get that attention back from EU and USA as if the big brother count on them anylonger:)

ReplyDeleteFedayeen, keep it up. I enjoyed the photos and videos you post on Madote.
ReplyDeleteSalva
ReplyDeleteKiir has failed South Sudan beyond repair and made it failed State No 4
in the world. He planned fake coup attempt to assassinated Dr Machar
which result into this turmoil, chaos, anarchy and bloodily civil war in
the country. Therefore, for peaceful South Sudan,all foreign troops invited by Salva Kiir to shielded his tribal men and his painful regime must withdraw immediately and Salva Kiir's genocidal regime Must be destroy completely and replace by responsible,accountable and transferable government in South Sudan.
Fedayeen refrain from balming the whole race!!!
ReplyDeleteRubbishReader are you an athorny to the woyane imbeciles?!
ReplyDeletetest.
ReplyDeleteThe world's economic powers have tried to dominate Africa countries with potential resources. See for the example, in the conflict of South Sudan the master of hegemony In the first step, they divided the people of South Sudan and next established other countries like Ethiopia by fueling ethnic and tribal conflict(Salva Kir vs Rick Machar) and supporting Rich Machar against President Salva Keir.
ReplyDeleteOther effort by the minority regime of Ethiopia is to destabilize the horn of Africa concern Eritrea. Since the conflict have began in south Sudan for which the minority regime of Ethiopia as often accused Eritrea of supporting the disgruntled Rick Machar. The Weyane regime is trying to suppress popular uprising in Ethiopia through promoting conflict in South Sudan and Somalia. Haqi si BiRiEsa Ente Qeberkaya si BiEgra TiwetsiE.
