April 6, 2017 (JUBA) - Rebecca Nyandeng, widow of late John Garang de
Mabior, founding Leader of South Sudan’s governing Sudan People’s
Liberation Movement (SPLM) is seeking a regional and global
intervention to end the conflict in South Sudan.
Together with the country’s former detainees, Rebecca said she was in
the region to speak to some leaders to talk to South Sudanese
president, Salva Kiir to stop the war and return the young nation to
the path of peace.
“I came with some SPLM leaders to talk to Ugandan president about war
and the humanitarian situation in South Sudan. You know that the
ongoing war in the country is forcing people to flee the country every
day, and one of the countries to which they run is Uganda," Rebecca
told Sudan Tribune Wednesday.
The former first lady highlighted the plight of thousands of South
Sudanese who are currently seeking refuge in camps in Uganda due to
the ongoing conflict in South Sudan.
"They are in big numbers into Uganda with nothing in their hands and
as the mother. They need shelter, food and health services. Their
situation is appalling," she stressed.
Rebecca called for the cessation of war and polarisation along with
confronting challenges facing the country.
She added that national dialogue should be inclusive to realise
freedom, sets control over security organs and meets requirements of
the 2015 peace agreement between the government with the armed and
non-armed opposition, disclosing that it would achieve just and
comprehensive peace and a national government that excluded nobody.
South Sudanese and the international communities are following closely
the objective of the national declared by president Kiir and hope that
the government would adopt moderate stances over controversial issues,
stoppage of war and polarisation, she said.
Meanwhile, the Ugandan president said he met several South Sudan
leaders led by Rebecca at State House, Entebbe on Wednesday.
“Our discussion focused on how to unite the different political groups
in South Sudan," Museveni said in a statement but did not elaborate
further.

Museveni, a man loved and hated by South Sudanese in equal
measures will remain a prominent figure in the political solution to
South Sudanese problem. Museveni will only play a "positive"role is
South Sudanese problem if the political outcome will see him as the
god father - continuing to direct the leadership. This arrangement
failed with Kagame in Rwanda and Kabila in DR. Congo.

South Sudan is in a tight corner. With famine looming and the
government coffers drying up, the temptation to swallow any bait is
high..

Rebecca is right but president Kiir, has solved the situation
already and the opposition of peace disagree with the president.

Ayuiu Lam Makuach,
The president CANNOT ALWAYS BE RIGHT! This is what those
opposed to Kiir are telling him. Kiir is not the Alpha and the Omega
of South Sudan. Now that he’s failed to lead; it’s only noble for him
to retire to oblivion to Akon or leave the country to go and eat what
he amassed out their all this while....Kiir is a total failure!!

Eastern,
I think you are speaking as a person to air out your own
opinion about Kiir. There are millions of South Sudanese with Kiir, so
for those rebels and your opposition leaders, you need to accept the
dialogue Kiir announced to end everything in the country. Talking
about Kiir leaving power is premature and childish because it will not
happen, get it straight from me.

I think you are clicking boot somewhere or else you should be
concern this will affect everyone including you. No regions among
three great regions of South Sudan remain unaffected. Either directly
by war or indirect by famine and hunger. No fighting in Aweil and
Warrap but they are at receiving of aid. Kiir seat is not the only
solution for South Sudan, Kiir/ Malong hometown being fed.

Your empty head President finally declared famine which he
continually denied because his head is empty. I am surprised you
declined to comment on that story because it seems like a mistake to
you. You are one of those jobless spivs who sit home whinging about
not getting jobs with NGOs and the UN. Preoccupy yourself with your
keyboard which keeps you pretty busy posting nonsense.

Equatoria? What peace before we secure possesion of equatoria region.

pasture. Stop that nonsense for a while. It isnont the righ time. wait
til December 2017 when leasons has been tough to Equatorian and
Equatoria is taken full into colonization. Uganda is there home.

Deng Kuol,
If writing emanates from the brain in the head, I might be
wrong to think so for your case. It looks like you use your arse to
think and then write dirt for people to read. You think you will
occupy Equatoria permanently!! I highly doubt.

Ya Deng Kual, ginita taki lisa fogo rumat seyi, ya belit inta.
Know that the war is yet to start idiot and when it starts you will
have no place to stay other than to go to Sudan and turn yourself in
for slavery.

Deng Kual Acot,
Colonialists are characterized by a high sense of cultural
superiority and esteem. It’s the first time I’m reading that jienge
savages and bandits that freely roam Equatorias in search of food and
loot have suddenly turned colonialists of Equatoria. How times have
changed since we used to taunt and sing "aryan jienge kudwal kudwal".
Well, today tailless monkeys have turned humans.

Deng Kual Acot,
I’m personally not aggrieved by your statements as long as
you’re drifters and have no homes in you luaks, you will remain the
eternal vagabond. Equatoria must treat you like small children that
have refused to develop but rather acting like barbarians and savages.
Don’t forget, you may get your jienge asshole sewn up by MTN hunters.

A singer called Deng-apanan predicted years and years before
separation that "Sudan can never be governed by a person who likes
himself, himself alone!" Any person who can’t let go of power and step
down for failed leadership can’t be far away from the one predicted.
The sooner he he let go, the sooner the wound will heal for millions,
but the longer he cling to it, the more it looks like Syria.

Nyadeng! U talked in an America about SS that it could be governed
by UN’s Trusteeship and now u have surprised the public that she(SS)
needs an involvement of regional in intervention. Yaa Rebecca, what is
your real vista on SS crisis?
