S Sudan won’t do anything that could harm Ethiopia: Amb Morgan

Addis Ababa, June 4, 2020 (FBC) –Ambassador of South Sudan to Ethiopia, James Pitia Morgan, said his country won’t do anything that could harm Ethiopia.

Ambassador Morgan’s remake came following information shared on social media claiming that South Sudan had agreed to Egyptian request for a military base in Pagak.

“The information is completely false,” he said in a press conference issued to local journalists this afternoon.

“The information is share by a group who have interest to undermine the existing cooperation between the two countries,” said the ambassador said.

Ethiopia always stands in solidarity with South Sudan even in a difficult time, the ambassador said, adding “we the people of South Sudan will never forget this contribution.”

“If any force intends to attack Ethiopia via South Sudan, it will first face the people of South Sudan,” the ambassador indicated.

He said South Sudan fully respects Ethiopia’s rights to utilize its natural resources within its territory.

Ambassador Morgan is confident that Ethiopia will address its problem through dialogue. In any case, South Sudan will rally alongside Ethiopia, he said.

In a statement issued yesterday, South Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation also rejected the information stating that “it is categorically unfounded and baseless.

“There is nothing of that kind. No any agreement has been reached whatsoever to allocate a piece of land for Egyptian in the territory of South Sudan,” it added.
