Breaking News:  Museveni Arrives in Juba for Talks to Deescalate Tensions

By Dean Lubowa Saava

Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has arrived in Juba, South Sudan, to strengthen bilateral ties amid escalating regional tensions.

President Yoweri Museveni has arrived in Juba, South Sudan, where he and his counterpart, Salva Kiir Mayardit, will be having discussions aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and enhancing cooperation between the two nations. Tensions in the newest country on Earth recently spiraled after the arrest of Vice President Riek Machar, with some fearing a return to civil war.

His visit comes after First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar’s arrest, which drew condemnation from the United Nations and African Union.

Key Discussion Points:

Regional Security: Strengthening cooperation to address shared security concerns

Revitalised Peace Agreement: Reviving the stalled peace process

Uganda’s Military Involvement: Discussing Uganda’s recent troop deployments under Operation Mlinzi wa Kimya

Museveni’s visit follows a high-level IGAD mission by Raila Odinga, who met with President Salva Kiir to discuss a proposed roadmap for stability. The African Union has deployed its Panel of the Wise to support de-escalation efforts.

Background:

Historical Ties: Uganda has played a significant role in South Sudanese affairs, both militarily and as a regional mediator.

Crisis in South Sudan: The arrest of Riek Machar and subsequent violence have plunged the country into crisis, prompting calls for restraint from the UN and AU.

Implications of the Visit

Museveni’s presence in Juba may signal an effort to shore up Kiir’s government amid growing international pressure to release Machar and revive the peace process. The visit highlights Uganda’s ongoing involvement in regional affairs and its commitment to supporting stability in South Sudan.
