“The national dialogue which we have declared will in fact close some
gaps in the peace agreement and we would appreciate if IGAD member
countries which played a very important role in the peace process play
another role in supporting this process. The support of the region is
really important”, President Kiir said on Thursday.

The South Sudanese leader made these remarks after meeting a
delegation from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)
assembly headed by Adhana Haile. The delegation was accompanied to the
presidency by the speaker of South Sudan’s Transitional National
Legislative Assembly (TNLA), Anthony Lino Makana.

The meeting, Adhana told reporters shortly after meeting the South
Sudan leader, sought to give full support to the national dialogue
initiative launched by the latter.

Makana, on his part, appreciated efforts of the IGAD countries in
aiding South Sudan peace process, adding that the visit was the second
and that the IGAD delegation would go back to their respective
countries after having known the position of the government on many
issues relating to peace, development and the political situation.

In a related development, Kiir also met with delegation from East
Africa Community (EAC) headed by its Secretary General, Liberat
Mfumkeko, accompanied to the meeting by the presidential advisor on
economic affairs, Aggery Tisa Sabuuni.

The meeting, Sabuuni said, discussed issues on how the region could
help the country achieve peace. Also discussed was the structuring of
the EAC and what to be done in terms of sending South Sudanese
representatives to the regional assembly headquarters in Arusha,
Tanzania.

We informed some times back that don’t always pardon every
piece of shit that take arms and would to fight the government of
South Sudan. But you fellows ignored our warnings. Your way of always
pardoning every piece of shit has been taken by our arch enemies---the
US, the UK, the UN, their sleazy NGOs and their evil juus>>>

and some of their criminals in between as our weakness and
your weakness. We are back Mr. President Salva Kiir. There is no way
we are going to live side by side with the evils that I mentioned
above. Let us bomb the UN, humanitarian aids and their so-called
peacekeeping business scams out of our country>>>

Very shame, nothing bad like when ever you never understand
your weakness, calling those who knows your problem, every one knows
that the support that you need to be owing to you is fund for your
