Gai was appointed to replace Machar, a move described as “illegal” by supporters of the ex-ebel leader. Machar fled the South Sudanese capital Juba when his bodyguards clashed with soldiers loyal to President Kiir. He is now in Sudanese capital Khartoum. JMEC’s position to work with Gai come days after US secretary of state, John Kerry and regional countries vowed last week to cooperate with the country’s new vice president. Mogae said Kiir and Machar lack the political will to work together for peace in South Sudan. “There is no political will to implement the peace agreement. They [Kiir and Machar] are bent on a military solution, not political solution,” he said. He said Gai’s appointment adds weight to efforts to realize peace in the country. “I am more disillusioned or less optimistic than I was when I first came. I thought that common and logic could persuade them to do right thing,” said the ex-Botswana leader. (ST) Comments on the Sudan Tribune website must abide by the following rules.

The political will to implement the ARCISS rests squarely with Kiir advised by his tribal grouping the Jieng Council of Elders (JCE). This group advises Kiir on what to do and not to do with South Sudan. Festus Mogae is very ignorant or he just doesn’t want to delve into issues which will...... repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=60068&id_forum=352602> - 29 August 09:52, by Eastern ....let to him being expelled from South Sudan by Kiir. From the onset of signing of the ARCISS, Kiir and JCE voiced their concerns by way of reservations annexed to the signed agreement by Kiir and cohorts. Dr Machar shouldn’t be blamed at all for renaging on the ARCISS. He moved from Pagak to Juba when Kiir still remained brooding at J1 maintaining: I must always remain the president! -- 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.
