If it is peace and end of sufferings, they should wait and see whether comrade Taban and I will do. We know our people are suffering and for this comrade Taban and his group have agreed in principle with me to cooperate to implement this agreement”, he said. The South Sudanese leader made these remarks after receiving a security briefing from is advisor on security affairs, Tut Kew Gatluak and the security team comprising of the director general for external bureau at the national security service, Thomas Duoth. Kiir, according to a close aide, opposed diplomatic engagements pushing him to reinstate Machar as first vice president and indicate readiness to work with the latter. “If they are for peace, they should work with us and the transitional government of national unity to implement this agreement. We do not want more time to be wasted again. If it is because of war is reason they want to send more troops, let them give us and see what we will do and let them talk to Riek to denounce violence and wait elections," stressed the South Sudanese leader. When time comes for election, nobody will stop him to contest for whichever position he wants but he should not continue to agitate for war to prolong suffering because he is not part of this government”, he added.

Juba can bribe few American officials to change course overnight but situation on the ground remains the same. There is nothing they can do about. If Machar stays out, there countless Generals more than ready to fight Juba. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=60054&id_forum=352527> - 28 August 06:03, by Akook If anything Dr Machar was very important factor to bring this country together because people believe in him, his vision and what he says. Gambling with Taban and continue to think peace will come through him is a nightmare. A wishful thinking by those Juba warmongering officials who unnecessarily caused this war in the first place. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=60054&id_forum=352528> - 28 August 06:54, by Ayuiu Makuac Lam I agree to the president statement about Riek Machar status. And I think it is very clear to everyone in the world what president Kiir Mayardit is saying about South Sudan conflict. -- 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.
