“The meeting between Former Vice-President and Leader of SPLM/SPLA Dr
Riek Machar Teny and President Salva Kiir Mayardit hosted by President
Uhuru Kenyatta on June 27, 2015 had not achieved any breakthrough,”
said Ezekiel Gatkuoth, deputy chairman of national committee for
foreign relations.
He said the meeting failed to bear fruits when president Salva Kiir
allegedly refused to discuss the agenda which included federalism,
compensation and reparation as well as power-sharing in the two
regions of Bahr el Ghazal and Equatoria.
Gatkuoth also revealed that Kiir complained in the meeting at the
State House as to why he was called to Nairobi by president Kenyatta
while he already sent his foreign minister, Barnaba Marial Benjamin,
to Johannesburg, South Africa, and briefed the recent African Union
summit of heads of state and government about their position on IGAD
proposal.
President Kiir who did not address the AU summit in Johannesburg
despite the fact that he was also present in South Africa at the time
instead delegated Marial to talk to the AU leaders, with the message
that they rejected the IGAD-Plus proposed peace agreement.
“President Kiir was asked by Dr. Machar if he is for IGAD and Kiir
said in present of President Kenyatta that "We rejected the IGAD Draft
Agreement Proposal and we rejected the IGAD Plus but if we are called
for a meeting we will attend,” Gatkuoth further revealed.
“President Kenyatta declared the meeting over and concluded he has
failed in this attempt to bring peace to South Sudan,” he said.
He added that the rebel leader Machar reiterated his commitment to the
peace process to end the war but also stressed the need to incorporate
federalism, compensation and reparation of the victims of Juba
massacre and beyond as well as extension of power-sharing ratios to
the two other regions.
Rebels argue that if the two regions were not part of the
power-sharing deal and reform agenda this would encourage these
regions to continue with the war and reject a peace agreement which
would only serve Upper Nile region.
The two leaders are also expected to travel to Arusha, Tanzania, for
further bilateral talks on reunification process of the ruling SPLM
party.

too greedy.

@Developer, you are blind in both the eyes and heart. Riek is
a hopeless man who will never get a chance like before Mr. President
gave him privileges and he was still too greedy for power. Riek is a
man who always for short cut but this time he will smell it. SPLA are
always gaining and become strongest day by day and mark my word, in
few months coming, Riek will be a gone case.

Here Mr Gunkills, Dr Riek Machar appears to be the voice
of voiceless people of South Sudan. Please reject cheap politics of
corruption, nepotism and tribalism you seem to prop against 64
communities of South Sudan.

@Gunkills and Toney Toney Metok you are the most idiot and stupid
people without the visions yet your are barking your mouths to support
Kiir. President Kiir is racketeering government pproperties that makes
civil servants don’t get salarie because they money was looted by your
Kiir. Dr. Riek Machar has diversity plans with clear visions to lead
his people of S. Sudan.

Haha, I am not a neur and not even a dinka. Now you are
putting insult on Nuer, wrong. Dr. Riek Machar has a greater
supporters from all tribes of S. Sudan, exception of a few Dinka like
you from Poor Warap State who are close relatives of Kiir looking for
stolen country money for their daily survival.

Deveeloper get your act together, which other tribe
support riek apart from his nuer kinmen. I meant foolish nuers. Even
that poorer kiir enjoy more support than riek. If riek can’t
compensate the dinka he killed in 1991 and 2013, how the hell would he
axpect kiir to compensate nuers who volunteered themselves to fight
for his installation to power.

@ toney toney Matok, restating Pagan Amum position doesn’t bear
fruits for peace after role he is still a baby politican that run
corner to corner looking for food. The only thing Kiir needs to acepts
with Dr. Riek is reconstitution the country, we need reform because a
country can’t be ruled naked like that by Kiir. People are suffering
and dying because there is no proper law that governor us
