South Sudan says Ugandan army to stay until full stability restored South Sudan said Thursday that it would only sanction full and complete withdrawal of Ugandan troops from its territory, upon the complete implementation of the cessation of hostilities that permits return of peace and stability. The new nation received military support from its eastern neighbour few days after fighting broke out in mid-December last year between a faction of presidential guards, raising fears that the clashes could deteriorate into a regional conflict, if allowed to escalate. Members of both the East African Legislative Assembly and Ugandan Parliament welcome the deployment of the Ugandan army (UPDF), despite criticisms from members of the international community who saw the move as an invasion. - See more at: africvilla/index.php/africa2/1267-south-sudan-says-ugandan-army-to-stay-until-full-stability-restored#sthash.ojAN3nlW.dpuf
