Ex-Gov. Bakosoro declares: Pres. Kiir’s Call for National Prayer Day
is a mockery

BY: Joseph Bakosoro Bangasi, Ex-governor of Western Equatoria & Leader
of the SSNMC, (South Sudan National Movement for Change), MAR/05/2017,
SSN;

SSNMC has received Kiir’s call for national prayers as mockery and
jock in the name of God, which is an insult, very hypocritical and a
fallacy. How can a leader of a country that is in total economic
collapse, with untold sufferings of his people, call for national
prayers when he has not yet asked forgiveness and pardon from God for
crimes he has committed?

There are number of questions Kiir must answer to South Sudanese
people including but not limited to whether he has:
—Withdrawn tanks and Mathiang Anyor from villages across the country?
—Asked pardon from God for crimes he has committed against South
Sudanese people in the past three years or so?
—Desisted himself from his unconstitutional JCE?
—Withdrawn mercenaries from South Sudan territory, and stop bombing
innocent civilian targets?
—Freed innocent prisoners languishing in prison of NSS(National
Security) for no proper reason?
—Freed IDPS in UN camps to return to their villages and homes?
—Returned refugees who are suffering in camps in neighboring countries
back to South Sudan?
—Given chance to peace, freedom of expression, press, and media?
—Stopped hate speeches, bigotry languages towards other ethnic groups?
—Visited villages in Equatoria, Bahr el Ghazal, and Upper Nile to
verify whether there are civilians in their houses and homes?
—Availed food to the suffering people dying from hunger in villages and bushes?
—Conscious of what he is saying or he had been asked by his JCE to
fool South Sudanese people in the name of God?

The people of South Sudan are in real dilemma as a result of the
unpredicted actions of the president who unceasingly say one thing and
do the opposite. He calls for national dialogue while shipping in war
arsenals to kill innocent civilians who do not have anything to do
with combat.

When he fails to feed the “mathiang anyor” and the “dut ku beny”, he
pretends to agree with the call of the international community that
there is famine in South Sudan.

SSNMC agrees that there is famine in South Sudan; by the way the
famine is not only in Upper Nile but also in Bahr El-Ghazal and
Equatoria. But I accede with Madam Rebecca Garang that the famine in
South Sudan is a man-made famine orchestrated by the malicious action
and lack of leadership and vision of President Kiir.

I would like to concur with United States legislators, as reported by
both Sudan Tribune and Radio Tamazuj on 2/3/2017 and 3/3/2017
respectively, who have written to His Excellency Mousa Faki Mahamat,
the new Chairperson of the African Union, that the AU must “take
extraordinary steps to avert a looming genocide in South Sudan.”

SSNMC believes that unless the international community is united in
its endeavors to finding a sustainable political solution in South
Sudan, the lesson learnt from Rwandan genocide and mass atrocities
will be averted.

SSNMC believes that the conflict in South Sudan is becoming more
complex and will be very catastrophic to regional stability and
international equanimity; therefore the international and regional
bodies must consider rediscussing the roadmap which is possible to a
sustainable peace in South Sudan.

SSNMC warns that failure to renegotiate the current failed agreement
would result in the entire country descending into a very
complicated dispute, citing the fact that South Sudan will slope into
proxy civil war, which is absolutely costly for South Sudan, the
region and the globe because of the fact that ethnic groups will not
sit back and watch members of their communities being raped and
murdered in their own villages.

SSNMC would like to thank Congressmen and Senators: Benjamin Cardin,
John Boozman, Edward Markey, Johny Isakson, Karen Bass, Michael
Capuano, Jeffery Merkley, James Inhofe, Richard Durbin, Christopher
Coons, Cory Booker and Barbara Lee. You are really true friends of the
people of South Sudan and have demonstrated to the suffering South
Sudanese that you care.

Rest assured that the South Sudanese will never forget you and without
the intervention of people like you, South Sudan will never be a
better place for the overwhelming people suffering under the brutal
regime of President Kiir and his JCE. You are indeed the voice of the
voiceless, far away from the locked land of South Sudan.

It is not enough that the United States supported the independence of
South Sudan for which we are all thankful; however, US should also
ensure that democracy, liberty, justice and prosperity prevails in the
Republic of South Sudan, a country the people of US
supported to attain autonomy.

Thus, SSNMC kindly pleads with the US Government to ensure that the
current government of South Sudan must be prepared to renegotiate
peace and made accountable for atrocities it has committed on innocent
civilians instead of preaching fake national dialogue and prayer that
will never be inclusive and will never achieve any positive outcome,
but is championed to address Salva Kiir and JCE’s agenda.

I conclude by beseeching the suffering people of South Sudan to read
Isaiah 49:14-19.
God bless the people and all the well-wishers of South Sudan.

You’re absolutely correct patriot Bangasi. South Sudan will and
shall never experience peace during killer nyankiir’s and the Jenges
Council of Evils’ leadership. National dialogue cannot take place
while Killer nyankiir’s regime is slaughtering civilians in Upper
Nile, Bhar El Ghazale, and Equotoria. National dialogue cannot take
place while killer nyankiir’s regime is denying access to the
humanitarian organizations to deliver food aid to the dying civilians
in Mayendit, Leer, Lou land, Panyinjiar,cholloland, Yei, Wau, and
other non-Dinka tribe areas. Aggressor like killer nyankiir who uses
food as a weapon of war on non-Dinka people cannot possibly convene a
National Dialogue. Lastly, national dialogue cannot take place while
nearly a million of non-Dinka tribe–people(civilians) are lockedup in
prisons__in the UNMISS concentration camps in Bentiu, Malakal, Wau,
Yei, and Juba. Killer nyankiir’s call for National Dialogue is a pure
“mockery” and shall never take place full stop

Dear, Bakosoro,be a national figure do not incite, you address the
current ruling system but not to target the certain ethnic because the
president hail from that tribe hence you are empowering him as that
tribe will stand for defending itself and there will be no South Sudan
later.
