A verification team was sent to Juba in July 2012 and a timetable for negotiations has since been drawn up.</div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">However, the ongoing political chaos in South Sudan may see these plans crumble swiftly. The Treaty for the Establishment of the EAC sets out stability and good governance as one of the requirements for membership. An attempted coup and political chaos mean that South Sudan is now far from meeting this prerequisite.</div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">“The current internal crisis in South Sudan does not augur well with its bid for membership in the Community,” noted EAC Secretary-General Richard Sezibera in a statement.</div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">The EAC Charter, Dr Sezibera observes, requires that a country meet standards on “universally accepted principles of good governance, democracy, the rule of law, observance of human rights and social justice.”</div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Clashes broke out in Juba on December 15, following what the presidency claims was an attempted coup. They have since escalated, with reports indicating that violence has spread to other cities. The United Nations has put the death toll so far at about 500 people.</div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Following a meeting of the EAC Council of Ministers in November, the secretariat had scheduled the first round of negotiations with South Sudan for January 13 to January 22, 2014.</div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">A decision on South Sudan’s membership in the Community was expected from the heads of state in April 2014.</div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">With Juba in a shambles, it is doubtful whether President Salva Kiir’s government will make this date with the EAC, let alone meet the standards required set out by partner states.</div></div><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"></div><div class="clear" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><br /><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px;">“We pray that this programme will not be jeopardised by the ongoing internal conflict in the country,” reads part of Dr Sezibera’s statement.</div><a name="more"></a><br /><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Prof Macharia Munene, an international relations scholar at the United States International University, noted in a telephone interview that the current crisis in Juba should not have come as a surprise to the EAC partner states since South Sudan has struggled for stability since independence.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">President Salva Kiir has blamed soldiers loyal to former Vice-President Riek Machar, whom he sacked with the rest of the Cabinet in July.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Prof Munene reckons that the speed with which the conflict is resolved could be key in determining whether the timeline for South Sudan’s integration into the EAC will be interrupted.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">“The question now is how the government will handle the situation. If it is resolved quickly and is seen as no more than a hiccup, then the schedule might not be dramatically interrupted. If it is a prolonged crisis, then there might be problem,” he said.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Even in the early stages of verification of South Sudan’s EAC membership application, there were cracks. A team sent to Juba last year noted that the government was divided over what the timetable would be for joining the EAC.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">The verification committee also raised concerns about the “highly militarised society.”</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">“Proliferation of illicit arms and light weapons is a threat to national and regional security and stability,” read the team’s report.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Was it an attempted coup d’état? That is neither fully established nor highly important, pretty much like the question as to whether this is a Nuer-Dinka clash.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">There has been incessant violence in different parts of South Sudan, but not to the military, humanitarian and political scales of the clashes between factions of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) last Sunday and the civilian killings that followed.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">The arrest of ten or more senior figures of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) and the search for others is also unprecedented.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">The violence has extended from Juba to Jonglei State and could spread further.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">It has retained the form of clashes within the military with civilian casualties. Similarly, government clamp down on suspected dissidents has also gone beyond the capital city.</div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">There are reports that local SPLM officials in Warrap State have been arrested for questioning over their roles in the alleged coup attempt. These developments are unfortunate but not surprising.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Signs of growing disunity in SPLM and the possibility of a potentially violent conflict between two rival groups under President Kiir and Dr Machar Teny have only been getting clearer by the day.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Historical antecedents to the current crisis, especially the more recent ‘catalysts’ are fairly well known.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">The dismissal of Dr Machar as vice-president, coupled with the sacking of several ministers following dissolution of the Cabinet and the suspension of SPLM secretary-general Pagan Amum in July this year, gave the strongest indication that SPLM was at war with itself.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Before then, the president had issued decrees sacking the governors of Lake and Unity states at different times this year and appointing office holders in interim capacities.</div></div></div></div>
