No to ceasefire, say S. Sudan rebels

imagesRebel forces in South Sudan say there would be no ceasefire in the country unless the government released a group of jailed officials. Rebel spokesman Yohanis Musa Pauk said yesterday that the 11 inmates arrested in the capital Juba after the unrest erupted three weeks ago,should be freed.

“Our colleagues must be released so that they come and participate. You cannot go to negotiations while there are some people being detained. You need to release them so that they now have a positive role in the negotiations.

“We are just waiting for the release of our detainees, when they release them very soon we will sign the cessation of hostilities agreement,” Pauk said.  – Press TV.
