June 28, 2017 (JUBA) – South Sudanese Deputy Minister of Information
Akol Paul Kordit, Wednesday commended and thanked President Salva Kiir
for deploying security forces in Western Lakes to block the movement
of the former Chief of General Staff Paul Malong Awan, describing it
as “a wise decision.”

Deputy Minister Kordit told the media on Wednesday after a meeting
with President Kiir that he had paid the President a courtesy visit to
thank him for deploying National Security personnel to Western Lake
State to prevent Malong’s return to his homeland in Northern Bahr
el-Ghazal last May.
According to the Deputy Minister, the deployment of the security force
averted what he considered could have been "another security
challenge" to the country if Gen. Paul Malong was allowed to reach his
political power base.
The security challenge could have been sparked by supporters who would
have reacted negatively after Malong’s removal.
“The deployment of the National Security was the best and wisest
decision the President of the Republic has made. It is a commendable
leadership decision and for this reason, I came to thank the President
and express my appreciation from the community of Western Lake,”
explained Kordit.
Through the Director of the Internal Security Bureau Akol Koor Kuc,
said President Kiir deployed a huge force to Rumbek with the
instructions to block and fight Malong who decided to leave Juba
immediately after he was sacked through a presidential order in May.
Gen. Awan claimed that he left Juba to avoid any negative reactions
from his supporters and those celebrating his dismissal from active
military service. He was later persuaded to return to Juba and agreed
with President Kiir they have to work together in the interest of
peace and stability.
However since his return to Juba, Malong complained of confinement and
mistreatment of people seen close to him in different institutions,
including the presidency and the army where some of the officers he
deployed in key strategy units and departments were removed and
replaced with new faces.
Gen. Malong has also been denied the freedom to travel outside the country.

The next president if not Kiir should do the same thing, put Kiir
and his supporters, especially Akol Kordit amok, into a confinement
for years.

King Paul Malong Awan has been under house arrest by a man he
protect to be his President. We shall see very soon if Dinka Bhar El
Ghazel love their King. Dammn Nation.

Keeping someone in confinement will not confine their spirit and
ideology aswell. Nelson came out and the mantle after 27 years.
KKiir’s a lame duck president right now.

Kuar Junup,
You sound Crownist and Tabanist, Aren’t you?
In the Holy Bible,you either follow Jesus Christ or Satan. You
better choose to follow Dr. Machar or gay Taban.you can’t save to

HI Kuar Junub
my friend there will be no one day not one year that Nuer will
be president in south Sudan, when you look what Riek did in 1991 and
2013 all with Taban Deng, the God of S/Sudan will not give them to
lead S/Sudan forever, may be other Nuer in 2100.

The headline and the information in this article has been
willfully misrepresented for hateful purposes. Hon.Paul Akol thanked
President Salva Kiir for timely sending in NSS and SPLA forces to
contain the current ongoing tribal clashes in Western Lakes State.
King Paul and President Salva Kiir are living normally and freely
together in Juba. Wait for Rejoice Samson to announce a Presidential

decree soon appointing King Paul in one of security sector
positions in order to complete and mop up South Sudan of the remaining
IO gangs still marauding in the countryside. Even if the IO pray to
and sacrifice 1000 bulls to NGUNDENG not to happen damned it.It is
going to happen soon. Just stay tuned.

Lenin Bull,
Till that happens allow us with a pinch of cynicism enjoy his
incarceration. The fugitive like some overheated monkey 🐵 went
climbing too fast too high. He forgot he was exposing his naked ass to
those below. Now the downtrodden can well see his rear gear 😝.

Kiir’s days are gone. He should leave now.For the case of
Malong, we the Aweilians don’t want him to go home because he claimed
to be protecting Kiir, hence he should be in Juba until this rain
stopped.

Bit by bit they will come to understand the ill thinking of their
master Kirr Mayardit. Wasn’t he that man he claimed to be the master
whereas he finished Awiel youths to keep him in power. Malong, where
is your Mathiang Anyoors? where is your LAST RAIN? Dinka eating
another Dinka. Confine him or not, it’s not our case.
IDIOTS!

King Paul did the best job expected of a real general in command
during warfare. He frustrated Riek’s advance to Juba, flashed IO war
mongers out of Bor Town, Bentiu, and Malakal, and rescued Paloich oil
fields from being vandalized like Tharjiath oil fields. If it was not
President Salva Kiir’s indecisiveness and cowardice,the last year of
these criminals calling themselves IO wuold have been---.

First of all stop with the lying. You jiangs called UPDF to help
you fight the IO. The IO took control of Juba until UPDF arrived. If
it werent for updf you would have been finished. Now kiir turned on
malong and watch what happens. In the end the io will win. How can
youncelebrate the deaths of innocent people? Kiir killed innocent
people in juba in 2013. Or do you jiang think it is a lie.

King Paul is wise and patriotic and will not commit any foolish
mistake of destroying South Sudan like Riek, Lam, Nyaba,etc. He has no
time and no appetite for tribal conflict. He doesn’t enjoy the death
and suffering of innocent women, children, elderly, disabled, like
your diabolic Riek whose death and suffering of innocent Nuer people
doesn’t disturb his conscience.

John Locke, liberate yourself from the old Nuer mindset. The
current war between the SPLA and Riek’s deceived followers is not the
same like the old Nuer-Dinka fight of the past. The current war
involves modern scientific strategies. Having allies during warfare
and managing to convince them to join one in the fight is itself being
superior to one’enemy and if it can lead one win the war, so be it

Napoleonic wars were fought on allies bases, World War I on
allies, Word War II on allies, Gulf War I on allies, Gulf War Two on
allies, America’s war on terror on allies/coalition of the willing,
etc.Where are your coward Khartoum Arab allies in the battle fields of
South Sudan? Why they lecture and educate you only in hatred against
the Dinka without them coming to join you in killing fields?

Even Al Qeida, ISIS, Al Shabab, and Boko Haram, are formed out of
allies from different countries.
John Locke read the philosophy of John Lock and see whether it is
clumsy like the one you inherited from your old grandfather in
Nuerland.
