Sudan Worried of Uganda Army Presense in South Sudan

{{Sudan has stated that the Ugandan military intervention in South Sudan is threatening Sudan’s national security.}}

The Sudanese armed forces (SAF) have further warned that the Ugandan military presence in the south is threatening the whole of East African countries, and is demanding Kampala pull out its forces.

Talking to media on Sunday, SAF spokesman Col. Alswarmy Khalid Saad accused Uganda of attempting to sabotage the relations between Khartoum and Juba.

“Uganda has many hostility actions against Sudan; they are trying to convince the government of South Sudan that they are supporting them while [they claim] we are backing Riek Machar’s forces, but that is incorrect” the spokesman said.

“Our position is very clear that we do not have any intention of militarily intervention in South Sudan” he reaffirmed.

Col. Saad further dismissed accusations by the South Sudan’s national army that Sudan’s air force have violated the Southern space.

“We have no military operations on our border with South Sudan and even the protection of the oilfields is the responsibility of the government of South Sudan” he said.

“We made it very clear that we are supporting the elected government in South Sudan, but we are against any military intervention and concerned of any foreign forces that have been deployed in the south” he added.
