Excluding Dr Machar gives uncertainty to dialogue, says Rights officer CRN Wednesday, May 24, 2017 - 17:14
President Salva Kiir’s decision to exclude opposition leader Dr Riek Machar Teny brings doubt to the national dialogue, A Human Rights and Rule of Law Officer say. Omara Michael Anthony wonders how peace can be achieved without Machar’s participation because national dialogue means talking or discussing with an enemy. The Human Rights officer clarifies to CRN on Wednesday that national dialogue means embracing everybody. A citizen in Juba calls on the President to reverse his statement of excluding Dr Machar because dialogue means bringing the parties together. He says if Dr Machar is not included it means President Kiir is still having grievances with the opposition leader. The citizen says holding a dialogue is forgiving one another and forgeting the past. But if he is left out it will not bring peace because there are followers of Machar in the bush who are still loyal to him and people who are followers of the President. He says by not including Machar also means the opposition forces loyal to Machar are also exclusive and the conflict will continue. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
