President Kiir, according to a presidential source, said he started consultations with some of his confidants and some officials from Machar’s faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM-IO) in unity government about the matter. "The transitional government of national unity cannot be held hostage because of Riek. If he does not want to come out from his hiding despite all the assurances of protection, even with the president coming [out] himself to declare to chairman of Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC) and special envoy of the African Union that he will stay together with him if he feels unsafe staying alone, then the president has the right to appoint anyone from SPLM-IO to replace him," a presidential source told Sudan Tribune on Sunday. The official said there were several senior members of Machar’s armed opposition faction from which a nominee could be found to replace him to continue with the implementation of the peace agreement as well as rendering services to the people instead of waiting for other negotiations. "There are many members of the SPLM-IO here in Juba. The minister of Mining, Taban Deng Gai, who was chief negotiator during the peace talks can be appointed," he revealed. Also, Bol Makueng, Secretary of Information in the SPLM faction of President Salva Kiir on Sunday revealed in a statement over the South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) that if Machar did not return within a given time, he will be replaced with alternative leader. He said this was resolved in the SPLM political bureau meeting under the leadership of President Kiir. Sources said Taban Deng Gai and Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth are leading a campaign to replace Machar, but other SPLM-IO officials have reportedly refused. Taban Deng has been a controversial figure in the SPLM-IO, with allegations since last year suggesting that he was recommended to President Kiir by the Jieng [Dinka] Council of Elders (JCE) to replace Machar. But others said Deng has no popularity among the Nuer and his ascending to the senior government position may drive away President Kiir’s Bul-Nuer allies who disliked him. The South Sudanese president this week dismissed the deputy minister of foreign affairs and regional cooperation, Cirino Hiteng. The official is from the former detainees and the decision to remove him was seen as a violation of the peace agreement. In the agreement, President Kiir has no power to replace an official from another partner in the transitional government of national unity unless recommended to him by the top leader of that particular party.

A cheap way of practicing divide and rule. Riak is aPhD holder and can’t be fooled easily. Of course Taban will have to reject that if indeed the SPLA-IO have a hierarchy and structures. Who knows Kiir wakes up next day and will want yet another. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59648&id_forum=350705> - 18 July 05:05, by barbayo jubaone this peace for South Sudanese not for Raik Machar, Taban Deng more qualify then Raik repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59648&id_forum=350709> - 18 July 06:00, by Eastern Barbayo or Bar buy you, You are a green horn; better remain a pedestrian and read what others post here on this forum.

There are structures here and not in such organizations led by jienges that are often chaotic. Kiir even has the guts to fire a deputy minister from another party he and the jienges are notoriously law non-compliant lot and don’t like rules. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59648&id_forum=350724> - 18 July 07:55, by Ayuiu Makuac Lam That’s very wise decision Mr. President repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59648&id_forum=350714> - 18 July 08:08, by William Atak Garang. I think the best concept based on the political will was either to have succeeded the assassination attempt or imprisoned the opposition leader. The step for replacement is the exaggeration of crisis in the Country. The solution is to bring the rebel leader back to Juba, to end the war and remove the warlords both from rebel and Govt. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59648&id_forum=350715> - 18 July 09:18, by Redeemer Lado Gore is senior to Taban he is the right person to replace Riek when the need comes repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59648&id_forum=350716> - 18 July 09:43, by Native Boy Bravo, Mr. William Atak You often writes sensibly and I personally like the way you correctly pass your judgement on this July 8 crisis. My opinion is if Kiir thinks Riek can easily be replaced with any body in IO because he bothers him much, why can’t also him, Kiir accept the opinion of his citizens asking him to resign too? Doesn’t him think he bothers too much the citizen like Riek bothers him repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59648&id_forum=350717> - 18 July 10:53, by Ker. Riek must come out from UNMISS today or risk being replace,south sudan will be better if riek dispose and bring another warm blooded Nuer in case of upper nile for that matter.I prefer Hoth or professor Gai to succeed him. -- 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.
