South Sudan on Wednesday rejected US proposal for the UN Security Council to send four thousand additional troops to the East African country to restore calm.
Government spokesman Michael Makuei said the proposal “seriously undermines” South Sudan sovereignty and threatens a return to colonialism.
The proposals ‘gives the U.N. the ability to govern’, he added.
“If South Sudan is turned into a U.N. protectorate, then this is not the end of the game but the beginning,” Makuei said.
“It will begin with South Sudan, but it will end up with all of us being turned into new colonies”, he added.
The proposal calls for a vote on an arms embargo on South Sudan if UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon reports within a month that authorities have blocked the regional force.
