August 20, 2016 (JUBA) – South Sudanese former First Vice President,
Riek Machar, has thanked the United Nations system and the government
of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for relocating him from the
border and taking care of him, his wife, Angelina Teny, and other
senior officials with him.
Speaking through his official spokesperson, James Gatdet Dak, who
shared the message on his Facebook page on Friday, Machar also thank
President Joseph Kabila of the DR Congo for his government’s
hospitality.
“The First Vice President of the Republic of South Sudan, H.E. Dr.
Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon, Chairman and Commander-in-Chief of the
SPLM/SPLA (IO), thanked the United Nations mission in the Democratic
Republic of Congo, or MONUSCO, the Government of the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC), under the leadership of His Excellency
President Joseph Kabila, for their hospitality by airlifting him and
his officials from the South Sudan-DRC border and for taking good care
of him and his officials in the DRC,” Dak posted Machar’s message on
Facebook page.
Machar, he added, also congratulated the “gallant” opposition forces
for courageous fight in self-defence in and around Juba, which
successfully evacuated the senior political and military leadership of
the armed faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM-IO).
Dak also said his boss is fine, but “exhausted” due to 40 days of
walking in the wilderness around Juba and towards the Congolese
border.
He added that Machar, whom the SPLM-IO consider as the legitimate
First Vice President, is establishing contacts with the leaderships of
IGAD, AU and the UN, and will soon tour the IGAD member states.
Machar fled the capital when he was reportedly lured to the
presidential palace to get killed, but escaped.
His residence was later on bombed by forces loyal to President Kiir
and followed into the bushes around Juba with the aim to capture or
kill him.

How much is this guy exhausted. International media houses and
interview leaders even if they are on their death beds. Is this the
usual propaganda of Gadet Dak or it is another game played by the
World war sponsor known of creating crisis to generate money to feed
their poor peacekeepers

Your mistake! Kiir had good reasons to kill Machar. Machar is far
more intelligent and has a different point of view over most issues.
Machar was imposed on Kiir by IGAD as part of a peace deal to end the
civil war caused by Kiir’s last attempt to kill Machar. General Kiir
wants war in South Sudan, not peace.
