Dec 19, 2016(Nyamilepedia) —— Professor Peter Adwok Nyaba, the Former
Minister of Higher Education of former Governments, calls on South
Sudan’s “Honourable Older Citizens” to boycott or reject President
Salva Kiir’s appointment to a National Dialogue that is destined to
fail.

“I admonish the honourable older citizens included in this bluff to
respect their historical contribution to the struggle of the people of
South Sudan and to boycott, if they cannot reject or protest their
appointment, the working of this steering committee.” Said Dr. Peter
Adwok Nyaba, a former Minister of Higher Education and senior member
of SPLM/SPLA(IO).

According to Dr. Adwok, President Salva Kiir is dragging respected
elders and church leaders into his mess for his own personal interest.

“President Salva Kiir intends to smear and suck everybody into the
mess.” Dr. Adwok continue.

Dr. Adwok believes that the formation of the Steering Committee “of
the so-called national dialogue” is an affront to the search for peace
in South Sudan but President Salva Kiir and his advisors, the Jieng
Council of Elders, are intending to drag respected individuals in
their communities to smear their faces with blood and crimes.

“The hawks around President Salva Kiir are aware that this national
dialogue will not materialize as long as the war rages.” He said.

Adwok believes that many politicians around President Salva Kiir are
not purposely included in the list of steering committee simply
because they are not truthful to President Kiir, accusing them of
wanting the same seat Mr. Kiir is currently fighting to keep for
himself.

“Their names do not appear in the steering committee because President
Salva Kiir also knows that they have not been truthful to him, as they
also like Riek Machar, Rebecca Nyandeng and Pagan Amum, are eyeing his
chair.” Adwok said.

“President Salva Kiir, true to his declaration in March 2013, is on a
one-way mission to make South Sudan ungovernable, not even to those
very close to him in J1” Dr. Adwok continued.

Dr. Adwok believes that Kiir’s doctored call for a national dialogue
is an attempt to bypass a new roadmap that was recently proposed by
the former political detainees to rescue and restore the country.

“President Salva Kiir may have exploited the historical importance of
that date to rubbish the SPLM Leaders FPDs’ recent proposal entitled
‘A new roadmap to rescue and restore hope in South Sudan’,
particularly their call for a ‘hybrid administration’.” Adwok said.

According to FPD’s, President Salva Kiir’s call for a national
dialogue is an attempt to consolidate powers within the ranks of his
faction and not necessarily to unite the country.

“And therefore he is trying to consolidate the status quo that he has
created and this does not mean anything in term of trying to bring the
people of South Sudan together” Said Dr. Majak D’Agoot.

President Salva Kiir boycotted a National Reconciliation program in
2013 led by his then Vice President, Dr. Riek Machar, and later went
on to sponsor recruitment and training of a tribal militia that later
massacred a large number of the Nuer Ethnic group in the national
capital and elsewhere in the country.

Dr. Majak said Kiir also undermined the peace agreement in July 2016
at his palace which led to outbreak of more hostilities in the
country.

“He undermined the peace agreement in July 2016, he has not been
committed to the signing of the peace agreement in the first place and
this led to the outbreak of hostilities in July 2016” Dr. Majak told
BBC Africa.
