President Kiir, according to the order broadcast by the state owned
SSBC television on Wednesday in his capacity as the chairman of the
governing Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) in government,
removed Akol Paul Kordit from the post which he held over two decades
as the head of the young wing in the party.
He replaced him, according to another order, with Emmanuel Lubari
Joseph as a provisional Chairperson of the SPLM Youth League.
The order Entitled as the SPLM Chairmanship Decree No.2 2017, did not
say whether the new youth leader would assume the youth membership at
the political bureau, the highest executive organ, according to the
hierarchical structure of the party or he would wait until a new
national convention is convened and fresh elections are held.
It is also unclear whether the former chairperson would continue to
remain the youth at the political bureau.
Observers believe the new person would assume all the rights including
taking the membership at the political bureau as it was the basis on
which Kordit uses to participate at the decision making discussions in
the party leadership as the representative of the youth.

I like the move, Akol Paul Kordit is tribal youth leader, let
him go for-good. Mr folk, I told you during political rally at Juba
University in 2009 that, what goes around come around, how is it now?
When you had appointed as a leader, make sure that you are for all, go
in peace ayaaaah othiek.

Salva Kiir puts Emmanuel Lubari Joseph, thinking that Lubari will
appeal to his fellow Equatorian Youth to drop fighting. That is
rubbish. We made him Chairperson of Student Union in 2010 but he
failed to bring any development to University. The appointment is SPLM
affairs. South Sudan is not SPLM and thinking that all South Sudanese
youth are SPLM is serious stupidity and ignorance.

Fair Man,
Are you suggesting that we should perhaps call the SPLM as
Stupid People Lacking Manners or what?

When you preoccupy yourself with negative imaginary you
disturb your peace not anyone else, there are many equatorians in
influential positions that can appeal to the people not just Youth
leader, you are destroying your capacity thinking for nothing

Fair man,
That’s what Kiir the tribal leader thinks. Hapless individuals
cannot convince the Equatorian youths who are at large baying for
Kiir’s blood!

I am sometimes fall confuse when people like you comment
giving tribal issues as chance for argument. The Dinka you always
complain brought this freedom you are enjoying as quoted below.
