(Photo Reuters/Tiksa Negeri)* Gai, appointed on Monday by President Salva Kiir in a decree, vowed to work with the former to restore ,, address economic crisis and ensure return of civilians displaced by the conflict to their homes. He said ending the war required cooperation with the international community. “To achieve this [peace] Mr. President, we must cooperate with the international community provided that they respect this country,” said a rather emotional Gai. In what appears to be a shift from the provisions of the peace agreement that requires two armies for a period of 18 months, Gai suggested that this provision be scrapped. “This country has a constitution, this country have a president and have a law to be followed. Your Excellence Mr. President, as I said, you are my commander in chief. The country cannot have two armies,” he said. Gai was nominated by armed opposition faction (SPLM-IO) in Juba over the weekend as replacement for Machar, who is the chairman of the SPLM-IO. President Kiir formally appointed Gai as First Vice President in a decree announced on Monday. Kiir, however, said he did not influence the decision to replace Machar with Gai. “Comrade Taban Deng Gai was selected by the SPLM/A IO to replace Dr. Riek Machar whose whereabouts are not known to all of us,” said the South Sudanese leader. “I have been appealing to him [First Vice President Riek Machar] to come back to Juba so that we continue with the implementation of the agreement. Of course this agreement cannot be personalized that if X is away, the agreement can be shelved until when that person comes. That cannot happen,” he added. Machar has said he would only return to the capital, Juba when a third force proposed by regional countries and approved by the African Union is deployed in the young nation.

It was only yesterday that Taban Gai negotiated the peace agreement and today turning his back against it. Money is really a source of all evils.

He was at the peak of negotiation for the peace agreement that took a long time that would have set a bench mark to cause a just peace in the country but he callously waited for his time for financial, positional bribery to betray the dead and the innocent who perished in the hands of a despot. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59735&id_forum=351202> - 27 July 01:40, by jur_likang_a_ likan’g To TABAN now is death to federalism, death to SPLA/IO, death to fair national representations of multi-ethnicity in all institutions of South Sudan. No wonder the peace agreement is now dead and it needs resurrection by the patriots of the country. The international community should not wait and see their hard work for this peace agreement go to waste. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59735&id_forum=351203> - 27 July 04:59, by Dinka-Defender-General Congratulation true south Sudan son General Taban. You spoke the truth. We, don’t need two separate armies in south Sudan. We, also need international communities on our side if we need to be successful and strong. Therefore, let’s join the armies together soon and stop instability that destroy our country. Let’s join hands and welcome our true vice president Taban. Long live south Sudan. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59735&id_forum=351209> - 27 July 05:13, by Whortti Bor Manza It is a waste and of no use debating Taban Deng. This chronology of events was long overdue. My appeal is to Nyam Nyam not to think the Nilotic way . The only solution is war. Machar was fooled when he accepted to come to Juba with a small force of 1350 against over 50000 of Kiir’s well armed. Kiir planned this in advance . repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59735&id_forum=351210> - 27 July 06:58, by Eastern The ARCISS is dead and IGAD & JMEC has nothing to "speculate about it". African leaders callously continue to bleat that they have African solutions for African problems: Africa continues to beg for money to fix their self-inflicted problems. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59735&id_forum=351212> - 27 July 07:58, by Eastern El Taban Gai is in other words asking for a portion of the infamous Mathiang anyoor to be assigned to protect him now that his SPLA-IO he boasts of won’t be forthcoming! repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59735&id_forum=351222> - 27 July 08:16, by viper In any peace situation, home made solution is always what matters. I have seen that the enemies of peace and south Sudan haven’t believed their eyes and ears when Taban rubbished their two armies agenda that was designed just to take the country back to war anytime as it happened at J1. Up to now, some people are calling on the first vice president as a betrayer when in the real sense, he’s a savi -- 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.
