The constitution has not yet gone to the ministry of justice; it will come to the cabinet; then it will go to the parliament; the parliament will take its one month, and thereafter it is passed and sent to the President for assent and signature,” Lueth told reporters in Juba after Tuesday’s extraordinary council of ministers. He said the government will however continue to render services to the people until when the constitution is ready and the transition unity government is formed with the opposition factions. “This is the process…so maybe up to mid-March when the Transitional Government of National Unity will be established. Meanwhile, the government will continue to render its normal services to the citizens until that time when TGoNU is established,” he said. Meanwhile, the leader of the armed opposition faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM-IO), Riek Machar, who is First Vice President designate, said he will not return to the capital, Juba, for formation of the government until the constitution is amended and passed by an expanded parliament. “Once you hear that the parties have agreed on a draft of a constitution, and the draft is taken to the transitional national assembly and the assembly has passed it, the next day I will be in Juba, because if I go to Juba now, what will I do? Complain? Get restricted not to come to Kampala? Once these important procedures are done, I want to go back to Juba,” Machar said in a press conference he conducted in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, on Tuesday after meeting President Yoweri Museveni on Monday. “I am in South Sudan. So, from South Sudan straight to Juba, I would go,” he said. He earlier explained that a government cannot be formed without a constitution, also adding that the creation of 28 states unilaterally by President Kiir has impeded the implementation of the peace deal which the parties signed based on the existing 10 states. The parties are expected to tell their respective sides of the story to the forthcoming African Union summit due to begin on Thursday.

What change will it make anyway? repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=57824&id_forum=345157> - 28 January 05:01, by Mi diit Oooops....Abyei of Dinka region is gone to Khartoum forever. This is the secret behind the quick speedy deal between Khartoum and Juba. I believe my source from Khartoum is right about this secret deal. Where is Deng Alor Kuol? A soon-to-be foreign minister with no constituency. What a country! repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=57824&id_forum=345160> - 28 January 04:58, by Shadrack Nuer Machut Let the dog bark & camels match. That Riak won’t come to Juba until constitution is amended & passed in fear of being restricted journeys abroad. M7 repeated to him, go to Juba. Go to Juba is the only word from regional & trioka counties’ lips. U must come to Juba if u mean peace. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=57824&id_forum=345158> - 28 January 05:05, by Mi diit Oh, really? Keep dreaming. Dr. Machar will come to Juba when Kiir is dead. Where is Paul Malong Awan to overthrow Kiir and execute him. Show him a true military coup, not his fake one of 2013. Greed will soon implode in Juba and you guys will be shooting at one another.

The public have made it very loud and clear, that they want peace first, and then segregated 28 States later....... Why it’s so hard for this illegal government to understand this simple message???? repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=57824&id_forum=345171> - 28 January 07:39, by Malakal county Simon If this illegal government keep insisting and want to impose the 28 States on people’s of this country, then clearly no peace, because that’s 28 States it’s never been a people’s demands as the government claimed....... repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=57824&id_forum=345173> - 28 January 07:09, by hamil Three months of some dubious, pathetic and worthless decrees to be issued South Sudan has become a drama stage of world politics. I was away on leave from work and travlled to Durban, Copenhagen and Washington DC and every time I talked about South Sudan people raise their eyebrows at one point I mentioned Salva Kiir’s name and one colleague in Durban asked repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=57824&id_forum=345169> - 28 January 07:16, by hamil Whether Kiir was once a local chief that South Sudanese forced into politics. I told him no Salva Kiir was a good man 7 years ago I personally admired him but he allowed himself to be consumed when he landed himself an evil-minded set of advisors referred to as Jieng Council of Elders I also talked in length about the JCE.
