September 19, 2017 (JUBA) - South Sudan President Salva Kiir has
directed state governors to prioritize sensitizing communities to
appreciate the importance of the national dialogue.

The South Sudan leader made the remarks during the swearing-in
ceremony of the newly-appointed governors of Wau, Gogrial and Fangak
states.

The occasion took place at State House in the South Sudanese capital, Juba.

The new governors include John Kong Nyuon for Fangak state, Victor
Atem Atem for Gogrial state and Angelo Taban for Wau state.

President Kiir congratulated the new governors on their appointment
and stressed that their immediate task was to bring people together.

“One of the governor’s main objectives is to connect and be a link for
the people between the state level and the national government. When a
governor fails to deliver his duties, it means that the government has
failed. This is not what the people want. They want you as the state
governor to be an effective link and facilitate the communication
between them and the government,” he said.

Officially launched in May this year, the national dialogue initiative
has been described as both a forum and process through which the
people South Sudan shall gather to redefine the basis of their unity
as it relates to nationhood, redefine citizenship and belonging, as
well as restructure the state for national inclusion.

The South Sudanese conflict, which broke out in December 2013, has
killed tens of thousands of people and displaced over two million
civilians.

Governors to be the facilitators between the governance and
the public, this is a very easy jobs that one can do very efficiently,
I thought should do more than that in term of development, Sustainable
democracy, rule of law, and peace and tranquillity

This national dialogue is a doom one. Kiir and his JCE cohorts
designed it for a political spin just to gain regional and
international favour. The prerequisite for ND is security. The Kiir
proclaimed ND is just like fishing in a trouble. Nothing good will
come out of that. First silence the guns and repatriate all the
refugees back home.
