“This situation will change. The war will stop and when there is
peace, there is stability and the leadership is united and they make a
decision, I will leave. What I don’t want is to leave when the country
is divided, when people are killing themselves," Kiir said.
He added that they didn’t fight for the liberation of the South Sudan
to start another war and to kill each other for power.
"No, the people doing this, or are inciting people should be
identified and told what they are doing is not good,” said President
Kiir.
The South Sudanese leader made the remarks during a meeting with
elders who visited him at his residence in Juba on Friday to extend
him a congratulatory message on the occasion of a Muslim festival, Eid
al-Adha.
Sheik Juma Ali described president Kiir as the man of peace, tolerance
and forgiveness.
“I went to the President on Wednesday to invite him to join us in the
celebration of the Eid al-Adha and also on the replacement of
Secretary General of South Sudan Islamic Council which will soon take
place," Ali to explain the purpose of the meeting.
"The response he gave was positive. He donated one hundred rams. But
as you know, the president is always occupied. So he will be
represented by someone he would delegate,” the religious leader
further said.
Eid al-Adha takes place between first September and the 5th September
this year. The Islamic festival is also known as the Feast of the
Sacrifice or the Major Festival. It is a very important religious
holiday for Muslims worldwide.

Yes, South Sudan is multicultural, multi-ethnicity,
multi-religious; but MULTI-RACIAL? Not too fast chap. In our
transitional Constitution, it says South Sudan is multicultural,
multi-ethnicity, multi-religious & multi-racial country on paper at
least. Don’t get me wrong Mr. Don-Don Malith Rual, one of my relative

and her German husband & children can automatically
qualify as South Sudanese if they so choose to do so. And so do so
many other South Sudanese who married Kenyans, Ugandans, ethiopians,
British, Scandinavians, Australians and so on, can automatically
become South Sudanese with their spouses & children. But these South
Sudanese with their foreign spouses are quite negligible>>>

Our neighbors like Kenya can call their constitution

some of their former British masters & their Indians, Pakistanis or
Sri Lankan slaves have not left Kenya after Kenyans independence. In
Uganda though many British, Indians, Pakistanis or Sri Lankans were

the song can be roughly translated in

so-called arabs out of our country) & when it becomes a bit tough,
then they stored it & go & bear children" Mr. Don-Malith Rual, in our

Mr. Don-Malith Rual, our Nile is our big problem. Some Sudanese people
can remember what is called "Fashoda incidence" where the *French &

MR KUCH i
totally agree with u, but we need to deal with issues at a diplomatic
way, the difficulty in that is lack of diplomatic way of apprehension
to approach things n lack of open eyes pple like yourselves; we need

President Kiir himself is a good man.But if he decides to
leave, he will hand over the power to a real person who can unite all
of us. Be patient with president Kiir and let the war stop first. Do

President Salva Kiir should not step down because our country
it’s on fire and he should not step down until all of us South
Sudanese people carry a packet and go to the Ocean together to bring
water so we can kill that fire together first, then president Kiir can
step down by vote

No, President Salva Kiir is vage on when he will leave J1. No body
knows when the war will end and the same political elite will work to
fuel more wars so that they don’t leave power. Our national
constitution defines the term limit 5 year first term and second last
term of 5 years period. And the bastard in J1 packs and leaves for
another new prince/ss.

It is only political simpletons who can celebrate this vague
language by President Salva Kiir. Those who are fueling the war and
killings among those South Sdaunese are well known: Riek Machar and
Lam Akol are the conspicuous tribal war engineers since 1991 up
todate, joined now by so called G10 who fueling the war through
proxies and sell out to international powers and bad blackmail.

No indication that President Salva Kiir is psychologically
preparing the country for peaceful hand over of power and this is
shown by lack of preparations for democratic transfer of power both
within the SPLM and for the whole country. If that time will come then
it will not have been well prepared for and it will be nasty and

Elections should have been held in 2015, for not well convincing
reasons they were pushed to 2018 which is not clear whether they will
ever be held. The last year for President Salva Kiir was/is supposed
to be 2020. But now I’m afraid unless through jujuism his last year in
J1 may be 2027!!

I have high personal respect for President Salva Kiir and I may
not be bothered much by his lukewarm leadership style but how will
other South Sudanese radicals and rebels and the region and
international community take this lack of seriousness in handing over
power through democratic processes? They will get fed up and want by
all means including war to end Salva Kiir’s presidency.

HE Dr.James Wani Igga is the next President of the Republic of
South Sudan. Analyse his records and you will find him the only one in
SPLM top leadership who has not one day along side Salva Kiir who has
not betrayed South Sudan. He has no blood of innocent South Sudanese
citizens in his hands. He is not against any single tribe. He is
always jovial, approachable, God fearing,and very intellectual

I will campaign and vote for him when times come. No another
clumsy thief for presidency from the WEST!! They should not even dream
of it such as this nincompoop called Constello nor any other bastard.
The country has been mismanaged enough through looting, blood shed,
lack of direction/vision, and barbaric arrogance.
