It is understandable why Machar’s SPLM/A-IO will be uncomfortable with the unilateral creation of the Ruweng Administrative Area; if it remains in place.
The former Southern Liech State - which was one of the now defunct, 32 illegally created States by Kiir’s regime -...

...included the ancestral home of Riek Machar. The largely Nuer-populated former Southern Liech State, bordered the former largely Dinka-populated Ruweng State - now the Ruweng Administrative Area.

Now with the restoration of Unity State as one of the 10 states, minus Ruweng...

...State being reattached to it, it will feel like “an animal without a tail” to Machar and his SPLM/A-IO.
The crude oil of the originally oil-producing Unity State, is to now be found within the, once again, unilaterally-created Ruweng Administrative Area - an area which was...

...gerrymandered and socially-re-engineered to be populated solely by Dinkas, by the Kiir regime in 2015. Populated solely by Dinkas, instead of the usual Nuer & Dinka population mix. That’s why the Kiir regime has now purposefully excluded the former Ruweng State from...

...their “reluctant & forced” return back to the 10 states; with Ruweng being under Unity State once again.

Machar will invariably raise these facts with the R-ARCSS’ mediators & guarantors when he meets up with Kiir on the 18th February, just before the 22nd February deadline.

As for Pibor Administrative Area; that again is a politically-motivated move by Kiir’s regime.
The well-known Murle militias that have been repeatedly “armed & employed” by the Kiir regime to destabilise the security of the largest & most ethnically diverse state of South...

...Sudan called Jonglei - with its Dinka & its Nuer populations - for years, aswell as destabilising the security of neighbouring Ethiopia, Kiir’s regime needs to continue to maintain full command & control over those Murle militias for future use.

With respect to the Abyei Administrative Area; whether Abyei is part of an independent #SouthSudan or not, has yet to be “formally determined” with the new “civilian-led” transitional government in Khartoum. Any new decisions now being made as to Abyei’s administration...

...out-with of the previous arrangement pre-July 2011, is quite mute; and is again merely politically-motivated window-dressing.

Riek Machar:

*“If chaos happen, let them happen in their hands, until the revitalised government of national unity is formed. If you create a vacuum, we will be blamed. We don’t want to be blamed.”*
