South Sudan’s information minister Michael Makuei Lueth speaks to
reporters in Bor, December 25, 2016 (ST)
Addressing reporters in Bor, the Jonglei state capital, Michael Makuei
Lueth, said the national dialogue proposed by president Salva Kiir
will pave way for South Sudanese to resolve their issues by forgiving
one another so that the country returns to normalcy in the coming
year.
Personalities from various religious groups and parties tasked to work
for peace and forgiveness constitute the dialogue membership.
“The message of the church and the government is one and the same, and
that is peaceful co-existence and forgiveness, this is the message of
the year and we are optimistic that South Sudan will be back again to
its normalcy,” Lueth said on Sunday.
The minister said he was optimistic the coming year would be a
colorful one, despite the current crisis in the world youngest nation.
“We hope that 2017 will be a year of peace; it will be a year of
forgiveness so that our people understand themselves. I call upon all
the people of South Sudan to rally behind the president to support the
national dialogue and talk and come up with the way forward on best,
should we, as people of South Sudan life together and govern our
country”, stressed Lueth.
The Bishop of Bor diocese, Ruben Akurdit Ngong praised the state
security organ for ensuring that the state residents celebrated
freely.
“We were not certain on how to celebrate because of this insecurity in
South Sudan, we thank God that is has gone smoothly. We hope things
will be better next year”, said Akurdit.
Thousands of people celebrated Christmas in Bor, an indication that
many families have returned homes from displaced camps, after the
massive displacement of civilians during the crisis in December 2013.

There will NEVER be peace in South Sudan as long as Kiir and Riek
roam the earth.

Before South Sudanese become optimistic about a peaceful 2017. I
think they must ask themselves what caused the war in the first place?
How can reconciliation be achieved under the monsters who instigated
the rape, loot and murder innocent South Sudanese? How about the
subject of corruption, tribalism, nepotism and development under this
rogue regime? Sorry South Sudan needs new stewardship!!

Start by setting free those held hostage in detention by your
spying organs, MI and NSS who blieved that they are judges, police,
prosecutors and spies as well. People get detained for no reason but
simply malicious suspicion. You are innocent liar, speaking lies on
behalf your bosses. We know what you speak out isn’t your own but for
survival. Partly you are forgiven and let us work

I think he might have got some doses to make him call for peace.
Let us give him a window of opportunity to know which peace offer does
he have. The national dialoque is immaterial should rely on that. All
on board as members have dirt records. Whether Churches or not.
Churches bless the killers when they attend their celebrations and
late prayer to kill.

The NLC meeting of 2013 opened with the word of prayer from
one of the churches and guess what? It ended have into butchering of
scores of civilians. Churches in South Sudan are not taken care by
God. They are left to ruins of devil. Don’t expect anything good.They
have motives of using this dialogue to find their so-called charities
by Juba Government. Shiiiiiiiiiiitt
