June 14, 2015 (JUBA) – The South Sudanese government is proposing legal
action against two Sudanese newspapers, which published reports claiming
president Salva Kiir had allegedly died after illness.

The spokesperson for the presidency, Ateny Wek Ateny said the reports
appeared in Friday’s editions of *Al Sudani* and *Akher-lahaza* newspapers.

“These Sudanese papers published with confidence the death of the
president. They have written it in their pages in bold. If the president
was dead then they would have been right but now the president is alive,
healthy and strong,” Ateny said on Sunday.

Ateny said government would carry out investigation to find out the source
of these allegations, before heading to the Sudanese capital, Khartoum,
with enough evidence to sue the two publications.

The legal team in president’s office will now study possibilities of going
to Khartoum and open a case in the Sudanese courts, he said.

Prior to his departure for the African Union (AU) summit in South Africa on
Saturday, president Kiir told the state-owned *SSTV* he was in good health,
having “resurrected”.

“Do dead people board airplane on their own, walk or speak? I’m ok. To
those who said I was dead, I have resurrected and there is no problem”,
said Kiir.

Multiple government critics argued that the decision of the presidency
allowing Kiir to go on foreign trip, despite concerns over his health,
allegedly as an opportunity to attend to seek medical care in South Africa
and also show the public he was not sick as claimed.
