Last week South Sudan accused Khartoum of supplying David Yau Yau with guns that air dropped in Likuangole village in Jonglei State where Yau Yau militia operates.

“This contravenes the territorial integrity of the Republic of South Sudan as it is a violation because they are not suppose to fly in our territory without any permission,” said government spokesperson Barnaba Marial.

The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) also confirmed it witnessed an airdrop in the area.

Khartoum had repeatedly and coincidently launched attacks on South Sudan territory when delegations of the two countries are about to strike a deal in Ethiopia on issues which analysts have repeatedly warned act as source of instabilities between the two countries.

The recent airdropping of arms poses a threat to the peace talks currently in Addis Ababa.

“Yes it has impact on us. It is disappointing. It shows the intentions of Khartoum are not clear and that shows we must always be alert,” said Marial.
  
He added that the supply of weapons to the militia group will not stop South Sudan from continuing the negotiations in Addis Ababa.

The presidents of Sudan and South Sudan are currently locked in Addis Ababa under AU and UN Security Council peace road map to cement a comprehensive deal on the post secession issues.

The duo had repeatedly failed to strike a deal on Abyei, border demarcation, security, citizenship and oil.
