Kiir addresses a news conference inside his office in the capital Juba

June 18, 2017 (JUBA) - South Sudan President Salva Kiir has given out
orders instructing joint police units to shoot dead robbers, including
those who break into shops at night.
President Kiir, who spoke at an official function in Juba on Saturday
urged police to provide security and protection to the citizens,
saying the job of the police is to eliminate crimes.
“Your job as police is to eliminate the thieves who break into shops
at night, shoot them whenever you see them trying to break into
shops,” order Kiir.
The order highlights the frustration with which he and his
administration have been grappling to address the rising crime rate in
the national capital, Juba, since the conflict broke out in 2013.
He was addressing the passing out of the Joint Integrated Police (JIP)
from the training centre as the only body mandated by the 2015 peace
deal to carry out joint patrol and provide adequate security during
the transitional period in the most fragile and conflict-affected
areas in the country.
The agreement specified that the joint unit will comprise of 5,400
police personnel, with equal numbers provided by the government and
the opposition.
The head of the state used the passing out of the joint police to
justify the existence of the peace which he denied to have collapsed
but was progressing well, though they did not publicise progress made
in the implementation of the peace deal to the international
community.
“I am saying the peace agreement is alive and is progressing well and
is very strong,” said Kiir.
He reaffirmed his commitment to implement the peace agreement fully,
despite reiterating reservations on specific areas, saying those who
designed the deal cannot implement it themselves if it were given to
them.
“I said it before that the peace agreement I have signed is a bad
agreement. Even those who designed the agreement cannot implement it,
and this is why we are not able to implement this agreement all this
time because it is very complicated,” said the South Sudanese leader
“Although we have not marketed ourselves to the international
community about what we were doing, we are sure that we are doing
correct things. We will continue to do those things, and nobody will
talk to us again,” he said.
Kiir statements came after a recent regional summit where IGAD leaders
decided to convene a "Revitalization Forum" for the implementation of
the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan
(ARCSS)signed in August 2015.
"The full implementation of ARCSS remains to be the only viable way
forward to bring about peace and stability and create the basis for a
democratic political system in South Sudan," they said.

Nowadays in Juba, the South Sudan Police Service and the South
Sudan Prison Services is grappling with food shortages. At the
numerous police detention centres, especially the one at Malakia and
Suk Libya for which I have an experience, if you report a case, the
police will ask you to provide food for the suspect or they won’t
detain them since they don’t have food for such inmates....

Shoot to kill the criminals seem to be way off but blaming
Salva Kiir for food shortage in our country & that is what the
criminals to break into other people’s shops to steal doesn’t cut it
fellows. Many of our people just want free things from others. Just
look at how Mr. Riek Machar told the Nuers in Juba Juba last that they
should remain in these so-called POCs until the US, the UK, the UN &
the NGOs distribute them free money & food>>>

Is when they can get of these so-called UN POCs,
really?! Does the U.S., the UK, the UN & the NGOs owe the Nuers
anything? Not really. The same to Thomas Cirilo, he asked the South
Sudanese people two months ago when allegedly announced his armed
rebellion to leave South Sudan for neighboring countries because he
thinks, Salva Kiir is their leader!

They were shooting civilians on the excuses of robbers Mr.
President! After all, it has been clear some of the polices you are
ordering to the robbers are the robbers themselves. Good luck with the
country going down hill.

Alas! Robbers are the same Mathianganyors under incompetent
Kiir Now you have ordered them to shoot to kill when the scenario is
the same cycling. You can’t order the same criminal to shoot
himself/herself at the same time unless incompetent Kiir wants another
eruption of war in Juba among his robbers.

Didn’t you know once an attacked man at one of a terrible
nights in Juba attempted to call on 777 police and to his surprise,
the police telephone rang😅😅 inside the victim’s fence? !
Now incompetent Kiir ordered another war amongst his
tribal militias.

Mr. President you are contradicting your self. You said you are
implementing the peace agreement well and yet you said that the peace
deal cannot even be implemented by the people who designed it, this
tells me that you are implementing nothing accept Good working
relation. You should also tell the world body the provision
implemented. P’ple r still dying starving & suffering in POC. No road

Youth Joined Police after university graduation becz they lack
career jobs. They have gone to school, unlike Kiir who doesnt value
human life. The principle of defense states police only shoot to kill
if the robber is armed or violence. It’s lawful to arrest and
interrogate for accomplice in crime.
Robbers include Kiir & his gvt who rob public goods. he will be
first to be shot. Rule of Law Belit

How can a civilians go farming when they are been killed &
their villages burnt down.
First the cold blood killing need to stop, the insecurity
should be controlled.
Shoot to kill! Most of the gov’t officials in Uniform are the
thieves them selves, therefore this order is gonna be ineffective
anyway.

John Akeen, you and your depressed president need people to go
farm? can you farm in the place full of insecurity? Do you support
Kiir becuase you are Dinka or what ?

wonderful comments above, accept John Akeen who hardly can’t
express himself. in Crime you are not guilty until proven guilty by
the court of law, this should basis of justice. Secondly, robberies
are the men in uniforms, plus foreigners hired by organised force,
thirdly, shooting randomly is a crimes, Kiir obsessed with it, as
leader who doesn’t knows how to governs but knowing only shooting.

Those intruders should be caught red handed first in the broader
day light, therefore call all the citizens, then face the music in the
present of all the public as it use to be in the time when we were in
the bush or jailed them for life. either of these methods will work
well with our people since they listen with their eyes. Couldn’t
belief that there is that high rate of crime within th countr

Kirriminal, you order shooting to Robbers ? who are thieves ?are
they not your starving police who always loot citizens and break
shops? I am fearing will only turn their guns to citizens. your
polices are the one robbing and killing people all times in Juba. this
president is not mine intact, he deserve mental health support .

The Kiirminal says the peace implementation is progressing on
well, then after a while he says the peace he signed was a bad and
even the designers of this of this peace can implement it. Oh my God!
It’s no wonder that such a confused Jienge has is house in chaos. I
bet, none of his kids has ever joined a public university. All
confused 😖.
