1 Vote *Riek Machar Interview with the BBC* [image: kiir-riek at J-1] President Kiir and VPs Kiir, Machar and Igga addressing the Media via SSBC inside presidential palace now as gunfire continue in Juba *Here are some interesting twitter messages from James Copnall of the BBC, according to what Dr. Riek Machar told the BBC on the clashes in Juba* 1. Riek says: his residence was bombed, now he is ‘in the open air’. Riek says he doesn’t have many troops in Juba, he is outnumbered by Salva’s troops, which shows he came in peace. 2. “This has been more or less a calculated plan by people who do not want peace…I think this was a plot to liquidate me or even liquidate the president.” 3. Riek says he escaped ‘assassination’ at J1 on Friday, this was followed by a ‘dogfight’. 4. Riek says he was speaking to Kiir throughout the crisis, once or twice a day, including immediately after his forces’ camp was over-run. 5. ‘I do not have a twitter account, someone must be tweeting in my name. I condemn it’ -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
