June 19, 2017 (JUBA) –South Sudan President Salva Kiir Monday appealed
for the support of the international community to the national unity
government, saying much has been done without its support despite
previous pledges to provide assistance at the signing of the peace
agreement.
“As a country, we are grateful for all the help our people have
received and the treatment they were given by countries to which they
sought refuge. We appeal to the international community to keep it up.
We appreciate and thank these countries and continue to ask support
for sustainable peace because the South Sudanese do not wish to be a
burden, but to make our success certain and our progress irreversible,
we will need your steadfast support,” said President Kiir on Monday.
In a meeting with the visiting Canadian Minister of International
Development, the head of state further spoke about the need for help
to build the country’s economy and transforming the Sudan Peoples’
Liberation Army (SPLA) into a professional army.
“We need the support of the international community not only in
helping us achieve peace and stability but also with experts to help
train and advise our security forces,” President Kiir told Maria
Claude Bibeau.
The president continued to add that his government has been asking the
international community to help the government in the implementation
of the peace agreement instead of continuing to advocate for views
calling for sanctions and an arms embargo.
“We have been talking to our international friends and partners to
remain committed to training, advising and assisting our institutions,
especially our forces. There are still those who continue to advocate
for war in the country, and we continue to go after those who are
unwilling to end the conflict. This is no what the country needs,”
explained President Kiir to the visiting Canadian Minister.
According to the Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Martin Elia Lomuro,
President Kiir stressed that the government, which was formed amid
difficult conditions experienced by the country, is tasked with
bringing to order the internal situation and confronting the
aggression.
The South Sudanese leader and the Canadian Minister of International
Development and La Francophonie also discussed the existing
cooperation between the two nations and how to move forward in
strengthening their bilateral relations. The meeting was held at the
State House.
Minister Bibeau meeting with President Kiir comes at the end of a
four-day visit to South Sudan, ’’where she witnessed first-hand the
extreme suffering of the South Sudanese people, the result of the
severe food crisis affecting nearly half the country’s population and
the ongoing conflict,’’ said a statement released by the Canadian
government Monday.
She discussed with President Salva Kiir Mayardit and Riek Gai Kok,
Minister of Health, the conflict and its devastating impact on
civilians, most notably women and children. The visiting Minister also
visited Jonglei region, where she observed the World Food Programme’s
humanitarian relief operations and spoke with local civilians,
especially women, affected by the crisis.
Bibeau announced $86 million in funding for four development projects
that will respond to the basic needs of vulnerable South Sudanese
people. Also, it includes $20 million to the WFP for food security.
After the meeting on Monday, Minister Lomuro, told the press, that the
visit was aimed at seeing the progress of the projects that were
sponsored by the Canadian government.
He added that the meeting was also to discuss the issues related to
education, women and gender balance as well as the national dialogue
process.
Meanwhile, Maria Claude Bibeau explained that the visit was to confirm
the commitment from the Canadian government to the South Sudan
government. She expressed the readiness of Canada to support
humanitarian assistance, alongside the developmental projects.
Riak Gai Kok, Minister of Health outlined some of the areas in which
the Canadian government would provide support in the health sector.
Minister Kok said they had excellent bilateral discussions with the
visiting Minister and applauded the support by the Canadian government
in the health sector.

I think there is no much international support to the
government because implementation of peace agreement is very fragile
at both sides.
International community supported those who are not at war.

Since 2005 South Sudan has been getting money from the
international community to create a professional army.
The international community has seen the professional army
commit murder and rape at the Terrain hotel.
The international community does not need to subsidise criminals.

Begging other countries for free handouts is why those
countries are so fixated & determine to take over our country on guise
& pretext through their so-called humanitarian aid, donations,
peacekeeping & human rights scams. Because we have a huge population
that think, cramming themselves into these so-called UN POCs & be
always given free UN rations while complaining about lack of food
etc>>>

Is going to be sustainable. Riek Machar even encouraged
his Nuer tribe men to remain in these so-called UN POCs until the US,
the UK, the UN and the NGOs distribute with free money & free food.
Thomas Cirilo also advised the South Sudanese people to leave South
Sudan for neighboring countries because he believe, Salva Kiir is a
dictator And also Pagan Amuom & Majak Agoot called the UN to take>>>

This same game is even done by the Darfur rebels, they
even call the UN themselves humanitarian food. It has now become a big
business to form your own armed rebellion & and ask the UN & the NGOs
to provide humanitarian aid and so on. And the UN & the NGOs have tap
into this kind of dirty business and they are now on the side of
rebels here in our country because they have seen. Free UN food>>>

is what many people in our country seem to want.
Many of our people want free things and they don’t even ask where do
these free things come from? The whole city of Bentiu, Malakal, part
of Wau, part of Juba and other towns want to be fed by the UN. And no
one is asking for how long is this going to continue? What country on
earth would want its towns to fed by other countries?>>>

And the same people who want war to continue
are the same people who want free food from other countries? We have
all the lands we want to grow our own food, but all we do is sit
around & complain day & night about corruptions & misuse of resources.
Yes, there is corruption in our country just as it is in all other
countries. But complaining & doing nothing isn’t helping anyone>>>

money doesn’t grow from the trees. It
comes from hardworking, we all know much of public money come oil and
a few tariffs collected on the border with Kenya & Uganda. Otherwise,
we don’t have other sources because we are not working our land to
make money of it. Well, Mr. Eastern, let the US, the UK & European
stay with their free money. Let our people die of hunger. Free things
are dangerous.

All the government of South Sudan need
to do right is to continue with our national dialogue, to bring
stability to our country. And we will draft our powerful laws that
will not be exploited by others & our selves. And then we will borrow
from China, African development bank & other friendly countries minus
the US or the UK or their juus. Or their IMF & World Bank, banking
cartels>>>

Only a fool would dare to touch
the IMF or the World Bank with even 20 feet pole. Many countries in
our own Africa are running away from these European & American banking
loan shirks. We know the fools like Riek Machar, Pagan Amuom, Thomas
Cirilo & Rebbecca Nyandeng have been courted by these scammers. And
that is why they have taken them hostage & are using them as their
bargaining chips>>>

Why do you waste your time
writing. You are worse than Steve Paternoster for cranking out drivel.
Every point in every argument
is a mistake of fact or judgement. You understand as much about
politics as a donkey.
Give up. You show your ignorance.

Kuch,
The area you have mentioned are the most
affected in SS, and the fighting is still on. Yes SS has fertile land
but due to killing and burning down of Villages in Gov’t controlled
area has made people not to farm. Listen to your self man. Are you
implying that all the other communities, UN, NGO & international
community are making up stories accept you [KUCH] is right?

South Sudanese under Kiir leadership do not deserve
international assistant at all. I said this because Kiir and his Dinka
Council of evil have exhausted all the country assistants from varies
international communitiy societies on tribal army hardware.

We always hear of peace agreement being implemented but we have
not seen any sign of the implementation and even no sign of peace.
Gov’t need to stop talking. Show and prove to the world that peace
is been implement on the ground, not only by saying while p’ple are
still dying and fighting is on... Reports of fighting across the
country is still on the news daily.

You picked the opposition leader Taban, Kiir’s poodle and you call
the theatrical act "the national Unity Government"; stop
underestimating the south Sudanese people. You are starving the
nation, raping the women, and hoarding the wealth, now that you took
it all , is it not time to fade away.
SOUTH SUDAN TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY, IT IS TIME TO REBUILD FORGIVE
AND FORGET.

Newsudan,
The idea of NEW SUDAN is a pipe dream. If Dr. Garang did not
see the wisdom in the idea of the SPLA Nasir faction, he will still be
fighting Khartoum based regimes. As Malik Agar what he’s going through
