The South Sudan leader said the only option is to the stop war and bring peace.
“This war is not the wish of any citizen but there are people who
think that war is the solution. These are the people causing this
suffering. We want to denounce violence, come back and participate in
the national dialogue so that this situation is stopped because is not
a pleasurable game. It is destructive”, Kiir said on Thursday.
The president said he was committed to ending the war in the country
and called on the citizens to help us and his administration achieve
peace by talking to those they know have taken up arms.
“I am sure this war will stop but it should be left to the government
alone. Every citizen needs to play a role by talking to those they
know have taken up arms and tell them there is a national dialogue so
let them. This was what I said when I visited Yei in February and this
is the message I will be carrying wherever I go, whether in the tour
of the states or outside the country”, he said.
Meanwhile, the presidential advisor on security affairs said Kiir was
committed to ending the war and his decision to visit Kapoeta state in
Eastern Equatoria demonstrates his willingness to reach out to all
segments of society to talk with them about peace.
“The visit of the president Kapoeta is very important. It will give
and the people in that state to hear from them and for the people to
hear from himself. The president is carrying another important message
of encouragement for the people to embrace agriculture, which has been
our source survival since time immemorial. It should not be left”,
said Tut Kew Gatluak.
The foreign affairs minister, Deng Alor Kuol also emphasised the
importance of the visit of the president to the area, describing it as
very important.
“It is very important this time when we are mobilising our people for
national dialogue and national reconciliation, so in that context, the
president has decided to visit Kapoeta,” said Kuol.

What dialogue or peace are you talking about, Mr drunkard failed
tribal Dinka President, are you living in a bubble or is it the
’Johnny Walker’ messing with your impaired brain.
Nobody wants you in Equatoria apart from your stooges like
Governor Lobong and Elia Lomuro, but we will one day use them as a
sacrifice to cleanse our land, after we finish with you Jienge.

Incompetent Kiir is always trying to convince the fools with
blah blah promises. You may blindfold the Bhar El Ghazal fools but
can’t reach outside it.
War will once and for all stop automatically when you are out
of power...be it peacefully or forcefully.

South Sudan is the only country in the universe where
likes of inept/unaesthetic Tutkew Gatluak becomes an Advisor to the
president...the worse thing is that, Tutkew isn’t a technical advisor
but a full range Advisor.
Dr. Riek Machar is only the Master Planer, Hope and Master
builder for the people of South Sudan.
Viva! !

Now that incompetent Kiir has tired of wars that finished
all his tactics, finance, manpower and etc.
It’s now upto the Mighty IO fighters to make a gesture or
tide their unshakable bells to give the last persue to the Incompetent
Kiir’’s Ansars across the country.

Eyez,
Your stupidity will never stop as long as you use computer key
board to fight the war. Peace is the only option for you and other
useless internet fighters. I do think you saw yesterday on AlJazeera
TV a few rebels from Equatoria, they are dying from starvation. Here
you are opening your very dirty mouth to talk about killing Dinka and
Good Equatoria.

South South,
It is better to starve to death while fighting the jienge
as surrender. If these were jienges they would have defected to the
Kiirminal. Equatorians are principled and are not driven by bodily
desires like the jienges. The jienges run after food 😋 not different
from scavenging animals.

Eyez,
I couldn’t believe that people like you are tribal oriented
since you just base your argument in finishing certain tribe in their
country big or small. If that is the real plan, do you think you will
bring peace? What we need is peace and choose another leader either
from Equatoria,Upper Nile or Bhar El Ghazal who will also come from
any tribe. If your assumptions are correct, how many dinka

During the war there is no middle, either you are with us or

South South,
You jienges have no wars in your areas yet you haven’t
used this chances to do agriculture and feed the whole SS why? Cos
you’re naturally lazy and love bickering like market women whole day.
Instead many of you relatives have fled to Darfur or Kordofan cos we
have cut their escape routes to Kakuma or Uganda. You’re lucky, we
would have busted your ass. Try now MTN 😻👊

Dinka tribal gangs leader Salva Kiir is trying to blinfold people
about the war he iniated. Bear in mind you are warcriminal, power
hungry, killers and a Dinka tribalist. You have reduced yourself from
being president of South Sudan to Dinka tribal gangs leader. Shame be
with you where you might be.

"War is not a pleasurable game" well stated Mr. President!
Although we already an exiled traitors in neighboring countries. Like
those of Midiit, Fairman, Jubaone, Lino, Eastern and so forth. The
above mentioned names, most of them are residing in Gambella,
Ethiopia, Gulu, Uganda, White Nile, Sudan etc. No one celebrates war
___in stead of peace. Let’s all sings peace!

If I’m the unwanted Salva Kiir, I should first denounce
violence by ordering those militias of Mathiang Anyor, resigns and
than let’s the Southerners choose who they want.... It’s simple and no
need for blah! blah!blah! everyday while people’s are dying each day
from war, hungers, and treatable diseases......

Dera malakal,
This is what we have been waiting to choose one we need,
but you Naath and your allies came in and want to install Dr. Riek by
force, which is not acceptable to an average common man in this
country.

Don’t you feel shame of yourself, what are you expecting to do
again to the people of S.Sudan when you lead them from 2005-now and no
thing good the feel from you.
No security,health, good school,water and better understanding
among the people of this great nation, it is only who brought this
hatred to them.
Thinks big before God punish you mr. losser.
