South African Vie President Cyril Ramaphosa receives member of South
Sudan's national dialogue committee in South Africa, July 2, 2017 (ST

July 2, 2017 (JUBA) – South Sudan’s national dialogue committee is now
seeking the intervention of regional and continental leaders to bring
the country’s rival leaders for face to face meeting.
An elderly politician, who preferred anonymity due to the sensitivity
of the matter, said a delegation is in South Africa to meet the leader
of the armed opposition faction chairman, Riek Machar.
“The objective of going to South Africa is to meet Dr Riek and his
group to seek their views to see how from their perspectives they
would like the current situation to be addressed. The team will also
talk to the ANC [African National Congress] leadership, particularly
President Jacob Zuma and his deputy, Cyril Ramaphosa,” he said.
According to the official, optimism is high that the South African
leaders will convince President Kiir and his main political rival to
that the two can come together and talk as part of
confidence-building.
“We are pushing for this because it will raise hopes and boost the
dialogue itself”, he added.
The official, however, claimed there were some “people in the middle
trying to frustrate their efforts to bring the two rival leaders
together, but added that all efforts were underway to success.
The dialogue body is reportedly considering the return of the South
Sudanese rebel leader so he can participate in the upcoming general
elections to take place at the end of the interim period.
“Our people want peace, they want stability and those who fled needs
to return but they cannot return if the conflict is still continuing.
It has to stop and to stop; some painful decisions have to be made and
we are asking brother Riek to lead the way. He should open his heart,”
the official exclusively told Sudan Tribune on Sunday.
He added, “It is not easy, but the country should be rescued. We are
telling the president to exhibit leadership and painful decisions”.
Sudan Tribune has reliably learnt that, during their visit to South
Africa, the dialogue committee delegation met Ramaphosa, but not
Machar.
The South Sudanese rebel leader, who fled to the Democratic Republic
of Congo (DRC) in August last year after fierce fighting, lives in
South Africa.
The official said another high-level delegation meeting the exiled
leaders will visit Kenya, Egypt, Ethiopia and other East African
countries, including Sudan to meet the country’s former political
detainees, Lam Akol and General Thomas Cirilo.
Over a million people have fled the world’s youngest nation since
conflict erupted in late 2013 when Kiir sacked Machar from his post.

You already exiled him, is it not what you wanted? Now why begging
him? If you understand that our people needs peace and there is
conflict still going on, then let Kiir and Taban step aside then it
will be easy to begg Gatnyagonyang to rescue you! Dr.Riak is very
humble man but kiir made advantage of him

Kiir must repent from what he has done to South Sudanese People to
date before an inclusive ND commenced!!!
Enough is enough. Riek was in detention since last year but
nothing improved which means he is not the only problem!!! If there is
a wiseman in the country, the problem would have been solved without
Riek!!!

That’s the only thing that I don’t wanna to hear. "Participated in
coming election" Riek Machar will never participate in coming
election, this is a RED line. Riek Machar is no longer a South
Sudanese, just by birth, the man is completely a serial killer. The
name "Riek" is a cursed.

Ya Kush,
I have nothing to do with Riek, Nutrition, or FD’s, but the
records must be set straight!!! Is the problem the man who is being
sit on, or the man who sitting on?! Answer is question for Dr. John
Garang please!!!
Riek has been chased on gun point always; so who is the killer here?
Why killing of people never stopped after he was confined away
from the region for over 8 months?!

very wise of you, a lot of problems facing South Sudanese
are unprecedented. Riek is not the problem, since 2012 I studied his
moved. The man was only interesting in leadership challenges like the
rest of democratic world do, example USA where party contest
nomination fiercely. 1991 was mistake, however, it shouldn’t be hold
as ID card for him, he was 36 then and now he is mature 60 yrs. ol

The only thing Dr. Riek do, is to acknowledged 1991
incident as mistake and move on, that can’t disqualified him to lead
country, or if it does citizens are the best judge not politician
themselves. scapegoating 2013 and 2016 war on him is foolishness and
shouldn’t be entertain. It like comparing apple and orange( Kiir&
Riek) who better than other, my opinion is Riek is better Kiir.

@Kush, Kush native and SouthSudan.
please challenge me by bring election in 2018, I
can’t afford to be just Dinka by name and not by virtue and tangible
action. I am typical Dinka and I believe the current leadership hold
by Dinka has failed the entire country full stop. The really Dinka by
virtues and values are Dr. John Garang Mabior and Abel Alier Kuei.
Riek has to be judge by citizens.

Tell your Kiirminal uncle to recall his murasileen from

It is in the nature of jienge

Non jienges have been killed,

his problem is about power nothing else. 30 years
house arrest will make some senses into him.

Riek Machar cannot just say he wants to become the president of
South Sudan all the time. He needs to say something thing new for the
people that can make his own country survive. That will show that he
cares about the people.

why burden? has he the one who initiated these mess? u Jienge
have hijacked the power given to SPLM/A in order to revenge on Nuer
and claim the "born to rule" ideology, that’s why u used Dr. Riak as a
skip-goat, confined him is SA under house arrest without contact to
the outside world. and now you want him to clean/wipe your butts of
the shit u ve created?

It is surprising and shocking that Riek was lured to go to Juba by
the government of the day after which those in government hatched a
plan to assassinate him of which he miraculously escaped it. Now what
does the government want after derailing the peace agreement that
formed the basis of reconciliation and national formation? A
government led by illiterates and drunkards can not perform duties!!

The ND is NOT a replacement of ARCISS but these illiterates
and savages want to have it their way. The ARCISS is the vehicle 🚗 to
carry the ND and not vice versa. This is like putting the cart b4 the
donkey. Illogical, stupid and foolish. Only idiots think that way. Dr.
Francis Deng, the jellaba offshoot is no different. He should go and
fix Abyei shit first.

I am neither a supporter of Kiir nor Riek M. But one thing is
clear: it seems these South Sudan leaders do not have brains. How can
you embark on a ND when the country is at What? What’s the point of
talking to Lam and Thomas when they have no fighting forces on the
ground?

An elderly politician, who preferred anonymity due to the

So every body is scared including elderly politicians, SS problem
will not end soon.
SS need to be more organised and focussed, Machar has been exiled
for more than 10 month and yet no peace. Now we need to look at this
from other perspectives. If gov’t was capable of bringing peace they
could have. gov’t faile

Instead of IO cadres crying tears for Riek’s intransigence and
refusal to reciprocate the good will of the ND staff, they celebrate
on the cyberspaces. Kindly know that Riek is finishing you like the
way Adolf Hitler wrecked havoc on the German nation during WWII> He
wants for of you to die so that the region and the world can call for
peace talks in which he will be awarded FVP post.

Tod do what with it when he has held several times in the past and
what we harvested out of it is war, death, Nuer-Dinka hatred, misery
not only for Nuer but the whole country. I thought Riek will accept
peace and push hard for elections which will rescue not only his
chance of becoming our president but the whole. Riek is bewitched
forever by NGUNDAENG. Where is Dak Kueth Ya Jama?
