Loyalties in the national army are split along tribal lines and the hard line generals. Majority of high ranking army generals (remember they became generals through thuggery during the war and not formal army command ranking) are remnants of Garang who feel nothing for Kiir!!! Salva Kiir's biggest failing is that he lacks the ability to unite his people the way Garang could. Both factions are led by snakes and it doesn't help that Museveni and al Bashir are involved in the background.

It is those who are interested in the oil that cannot allow the peace to prevail. They are the ones who supplied the weapons in the first place... they made sure Garang the uniting factor was out of the way... Now is show time until those guys finish themselves and can't strike a big deal for the oil... then the master planner comes in for kill, the grand bargain... In the meantime dance to the tune

They are the one's shitting on their beds and there is no point in blaming an outside force just because they have oil. FYI, the US has never bought Sudanese oil ever, its the chinese who developed it pre-separation and continue to exploit it post separation.

WikiLeaks WikiLeaks: U.S. Enables Illegal Weapon Transfer To Southern Sudan
In September 2008 Somali pirates captured the M/V Faina, a ship with 33 tanks plus various arms and ammunition on board and on its way to Mobasa, Kenia. While the Kenian government claimed that those weapons were for its own army, it was quite clear that these were for South Sudan. MoA reader B real followed the story starting with this comment. As I pointed in correcting an LA Times article, such weapon transfer to southern Sudan was illegal.BBC News A ship packed with battle tanks and ammunition, freed after being held by Somali pirates since September, has reached the Kenyan port of Mombasa.
Its arrival has become a huge public spectacle, with the media invited to witness the event.
This is in sharp contrast to the secrecy that has surrounded the ship and its cargo since it was hijacked off the coast of Somalia on 25 September 2008.

In the meantime dance to the tune It is an entirely messy affair and the latest reports are that North Korea is set to ship arms in support of the conflict. As head of state Salva Kiir should have chosen nation building and protecting Garang's legacy ahead of profit. Thanks for the tune!!

Kiir doesn't have full control of the army but he is still C in C and it was his soldiers killing and raping in an area he controls so the buck stops with him.Also the alledged involvement of the presidential guards may have made the un forces develop cold feet.
