July 21, 2017 (JUBA)-The leader of the National Salvation Front (NAS)
has turned down a request to carry out consultation with the members
of national dialogue committee secretariat launched by the President
Salva Kiir.
Gen. Thomas Cirilo Swaka said the government was using the dialogue to
consolidate power while committing genocide against the people with
impunity.
“We would like to re-assert our view that the same government that is
spearheading the National Dialogue is also intensifying killings,
rapes, and destroying villages and communities all over South Sudan,
despite Kiir’s unilateral ceasefire,” reads the letter dated July 18,
2017.
The armed opposition leader, according to the statement, said it was
the conviction of his movement that a genuine peace could only be
possible after this war is ended through a negotiated peace agreement
He further called for a new peace process as the agreement on the
resolution of the conflict in the Republic of South Sudan is dead for
all practical purpose.
“It is hard to avoid the conclusion that the national dialogue is not
a credible solution but a tactical manoeuvre that enable the
government to continue to remain in power while committing genocide
against the people of South Sudan with impunity," the statement adds.
Swaka was reacting to the letter from the co-chair of the national
dialogue committee Angelo Beda seeking when he could meet his team for
consultation.
Beda had hoped a meeting takes place on July 20, 2017.
The rebel leader who is also known as Cirillo, resigned as deputy
chief of staff of South Sudan’s army (SPLA) in February 2017, citing
rights abuses in a war that has split the country along ethnic lines
since 2013.

lino,
They will come back to it soon with their feet on their
shoulder. National dialogue is the only way out from current problems
of South Sudan.

Monologue doesn’t work!!! Give it another name that will
include everyone. Khartoum used to play the same drum. Did they
succeed! We all know the another to that question.

The national dialogue organised by Al Bashir has
already failed. I am wondering as to why Kiir wants to undertake what
won’t yield any fruit. Angelo Beda has just has his second egg on
face. Let him try Changson Chang may be!!

South Sudan is South Sudan, and Sudan is Sudan.
Problems of South Sudan are the same with Sudan problems. Those who
are refusing ND will come back it soon with tails tucked between their
legs.

South South,
If ND is the way then take it to Warraf and Awaei, we
don’t not need it we need peace. Let Kiirimnal Mayardit do it between
him and Malong Awan.

Lino, Thomas was in the same government and he like the rest
before him would always complain about the government once they are
not being paid. All are self centered. South Sudan has lost confidence
on those crooks. Cry the beloved country for all the lost souls in
vain.

Ya Marco, I have never cheered to these crooks whether in
the government or opposition. We were cheering when it was a real SPLM
/A under all command of Dr. GARANG!!!
Since the leader passed on, I have never touch down in
that mess. You guys cheered for this authority and so you deserve
suffering.

That’s totally fine, your are still looting, raping and killing
innocent civilians on the Equatorian roads, still blaming government
on your mess. That’s unfortunate. Let those who refused this ND go far
away on our way. If they have no interest in peace and opting for war,
then let’s do it in your interest.

Kush, do you really believe that kior is for peace? That man
called a ceasefire and yet continues to attack us rebels and
civilians.. he started this war by killing innocent nuer civilians
because he feared riek machar running against him.

His name is Kiir & not ’Kior’. So what do you fellows think
the phrase "national dialogue" means?. For all l know, these traitors,
Pagan Amuom, Rebeca Nyandeng, Thomas Cirilo etc, with an exception of
Riek Machar, are being held up hostage in foreign countries by their
foreign masters; notably the US, the UK, their UN, their NGOs & their
allies solely to use them against>>>

the government of South Sudan & the South Sudanese people
as their bargaining cards & blackmails. That is how it is fellows, it
is just as plain as day & night. But the government of South Sudan
must not give in to these traitors & their foreign masters blackmails
whatsoever. The US, the UK, France & their gulf Arab state allies are
using these same dirty intrigues in Syria, Yemen & Ukraine>>>

The US, the UK, France, Israel, Turkey & their gulf
Arab state allies have made an alliance with Al Qada, Al Nustra,
ISIS/L & other terror groups in Syria, Iraq & Yemen are the ones
killing the Syrians, Iraqi & Yemeni people, simply because the current
president of Syria is a Russian & Iranian ally and the same thing is
happening in Yemen. The Huthis who won the elections in Yemen are
"shiites">>>

and these Yemen Huthiis have some of their
sympathizers in Iran & Iran is considered by the gulf Arab states &
their US, the UK, France allies or protectors. Go to Europe, Ukraine;
the US, the UK & their allies backed a Neo-Nazi & fascist president &
toppled an elected president by the Ukrainian people because the
former Ukrainian president was having a good working relationship>>>

Well, the Creamian people cannot be

For the South Sudanese
people who were not born after 2005, those knowledgeable South
Sudanese people might be aware of what was called *one country, two
system* and the criminals who so vociferous about this bullshit idea
were the British just like they did used that same dirty intrigue in
Hong Kong centuries ago. Something that no South Sudanese with a brain

Kuch, why then the Government of South
Sudan doesn’t up to date recognize the Abyei People Referendum?!!! As
you know Russia did recognize Creamia’s Referendum overnight!!!
The government in Juba is being bullied by
Sudan in regards to Abyei, boarders, and oil, and it was a reason
their is a mess got created in the country by NCP boys in Kiir’s
government.

Please,
If you can reach Thomas Cirillo, remind him that he is not rebel
leader but political party leader because since he run out he never
captured even a single village but waiting to take advantage of
Dr.Riak rebellion

You fools will remain fools for good! How in a world would you
still called Thomas Cirilo a political party, while he already took up
arm? I bet you folks compherend how political work. And if that’s the
case here, then we’re dealing or debating will the wrong elites who’re
