April 28, 2017 (JUBA) – On Friday, the South Sudanese army said it
would continue to camp and patrol the streets of the Juba, until the
fear of the rumours of the peddling coup allegations stopped.
“The South Sudan Liberation Army (SPLA) forces and other organised
security forces will not pull out from the streets until the roots of
the coup allegation are stemmed from the source. The organised forces
will not leave unless the destabilising rumours stop,” said Col. Santo
Domic on Friday.
The military spokesman said the army and other organised forces had
been deployed to provide the adequate security and protection to the
civilians in town, along with their property.
Domic described the reports that claimed that President Salva Kiir
wanted to step down from power allowing the army to take over as a
lie, a “deliberate and calculated campaign of calumny aimed at
misleading the public and cause disaffection between the civil
population and the troops.”
The general command wished to emphatically state that no such plan had
been put place.
“Above all, the SPLA remains committed to providing aid to civil
authority as enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South
Sudan and wishes to assure the public of the Chief of Army staff’s
unalloyed commitment to protect lives and property whenever called
upon to do so in line with extant provisions of the law,” added the
Col. Domic.
The Col. went on to reassure the people of South Sudan that the SPLA
remained a national institution that emphasised peace, unity and
mutual coexistence regardless of and religious, ethnic or tribal
differences.
He continued to add “any attempt by any individual or group of persons
to associate the military and indeed the SPLA with such will be a
total waste of time, energy and resources. We are proud professionals
bound by discipline, unflinching love, loyalty, esprit-de-corps and
love for our colleagues and our country.”
Col. Santo Domic warned the mischief makers to desist their unpatriotic acts.

You can say all that you want, but the truth remains that, the
government has failed and its crumbling down like a ton of bricks.
Mathiang Anyoors and their SPLA brothers are a JCE, Malong and
Kiir’s Jienge murderous malitia force, not a South Sudanese
conventional military force.
The revolution is unstoppable and your tanks, Mathiang Anyoor or
the tribal SPLA would not scare the people forever.

Eyez, I think you don’t understand what is going on right now.
It is not the people or rebels who are trying to take over Juba or
government. Just reexamine the facts. The rumors are within the
government not the opposite side. Therefore, you need to understand
what is going on first before you comments. Ask people who know the
facts.

Dinka,
Who do you think is behind the news? JCE feels Kiir is not
strong enough to implement his agenda hence they want to replace him
with somebody from Bahr el Ghazal. Kiir is aware of this hence his
equipping the national security services with lethal weapons. Kiir has
lost trust in SPLA which has been infiltrated with the lousy Mathiang
Anyoors.....

Do you really think that the SPLA is going to pull out on Juba
street just because some idiots on the internet tell them to do so?
You people really take yourselves seriously!

You are behind the news. Coup has already taken place. Malong is
the facto President of South Sudan while Kiir is still internationally
the de jure President. A matter of announcement. If Kiir can not enter
SPLA GHQs fearing security risks, what are you up? Wake up. Yet Malong
once Malong declares himself, that is the end of JCE. The world will
rise up and back up IO and Machar takes.

Power wrangling has circumstantially dragged the Government is
that a joke or a reality? South Sudan doesn’t need coup but peaceful
transfer of power. If there is lost of hopes and people are running
out of patience, the parliament is there to organize for systematic
and peaceful of the successor not violent we are tired of meaningless
wars. Don’t hold people of hostages power we want to free.

Kirk should be given time fixed the country back to normal
before he quit the leadership, otherwise we shall never have peace
even if Kiir left. And the looming protest will still take place if
the government don’t put into account the suffering of the citizens
one day.

Norw you have come to your senses and understood that JCE days are
numbered? Is H.E Dr. Riek Machar still blamed for internal coup by JCE
versus JCE? Morons, we spent many years educating you but you are too
dull to differentiate between stools and water. So, goes is the music.
Stay tuned. Army on alert against Army!!. The end will justify the
means.
