South Sudan Joins EAC
« on: March 11, 2016, 05:35:31 PM »
As anarchy continues in the homeland.  In one incident 60 are locked up and suffocated in a shipping container by Salva Kiir's soldiers.  This doesn't matter in East Africa, he is a head of state.

Ambassador Rugwabiza says the admission of South Sudan is most historical.  Where does Ethiopia with 80 million+ people, currently not mindlessly slaughtering each other if in need of food aid, stand on EAC?

That is good move for both EAC and SS..at least trade and movement wise. Now all those SS refugees should be treated better.

What trade?  What movement?   Better treatment from whom?   Here are  the "credentials" of the newest member of the EAC:

Ongoing massacres and rapes ensure that there is little risk of that corner starting to develop anytime soon .  It's not even clear what the end game is between Riek Machar and Salva Kiir, let alone East Africa.

The more reason for celebrate this. At least SS citizen can now easily migrate to kenya and re-start their lives without being harrassed by our corrupt cops. Trade wise...SS has gold, oil and all those minerals that we can now easily import.

A messed up SS is still better neighbour in EAC than outside.
