July 17, 2017 (JUBA) - South Sudan president Salva Kiir has directed
the Central Upper Nile state governor to work with government troops
and its allied rebel faction in the area to end rebellion.

Salva Kiir in Juba, July 17, 2017 (ST)

The president was on Monday briefed by Governor James Tor Monybuny on
the general security and humanitarian situation in the state.

“Your briefing is good but you need to do more so that there is total
peace in the area. You need to work together with the forces of Taban
Deng Gai and other forces that are for peace,” said Kiir.

“For those who have refused the national dialogue and are pursuing the
war, you need to work also together with forces of Taban Deng Gai and
the SPLA [Sudan Peoples Liberation Army] forces to ensure that they
are not in the area causing havoc”, he added.

The governor, however, said the general security situation in his
state was “calm and normal”, stressing that his administration was
working hard to achieve peace in the state through community dialogue.

Monybuny said communities in the state, including those in the
protection of civilian sites (PoCs) in the United Nations camps were
working together with those in the Upper Nile state capital, Malakal
to achieve and maintain peace and stability in the war-torn region.

The governor, however, expressed the commitment of his administration
to ensure peace prevails in Central Upper Nile state.

The South Sudanese civil war is a conflict between forces loyal to the
government and opposition forces. In December 2013, President Kiir
accused his former deputy Riek Machar and ten others of attempting a
coup d’état.

Since then, tens of thousands of people have been killed and over two
million displaced in South Sudan’s worst-ever violence since it
seceded from Khartoum.

There is no more potent rebellion. The criminals hyping their
Riek Machar rebellion are the SUDAN TRIBUNE, RADIO TAMAZUJ, other
corporate America & the European media propaganda machines, the US,
the UK, their UN and their NGOs. These evils are the ones who have
taken the ’stead’ of their Riek Machar puppet/stooge some of these
days. And they acting as if they are registered South Sudanese>>>

opposition parties to the government of South Sudan. This
is how the UN and many creepy NGOs work in weak & poor
countries:http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00mmn27
The US, the UK, France, their UN & their NGOs want to
experiment their NEW WORLD ORDER government in our country because our
people are found out to be bunch fools & lazies who just don’t want to
farm their own foods, but only want>>>

to fed free US & European genetically modified sorghum
or maize that they used to feed their livestock. While complaining day
& night about corruption & misuse of resources. Yes, there is a lot of
corruption in our country just like other countries but not farming
our own foods and be depending on other countries for survival just
doesn’t cut it>>>

The whole town of Bentiu & Malakal want to be feed
by the UN & the NGOs. Half of Juba & even Wau want the same thing. And
no one hardly asks as to what country on earth would want its
population to be fed by other countries? If many of these lazies of
ours really want to fight hunger like they way they always each other,
then South Sudan would have been the first country in African to get
rid of>

hunger. But this is not the case, believe in
superstitions, fantasies, primitivity & laziness have taken over the
souls & lives of some communities in our country. And this is why the
foreign countries, the UN & it NGOs are so embolden & so fixated in
our country & our people. We have a massive land, water & resources
that are coveted by other countries to have them. But we are killing
ourselves>>

because of our centuries old tribal
aimless wars & want other people and their countries to be feeding us
their genetically grown foods. And so the US, the UK, their UN & their
sleazy NGOs have factored in that they can just take over country &
then plunder our resources & occupy our country & even colonize us.
The US, the UK, the UN & their NGOs used that game in 1990s in Iraq>>>

Some of our Riek Machar fools just do
not understand that their damn US, the UK, their UN & their sleazy

For all l know, when these Riek
Machar fools later understand that their US, their UK, their UK, their
NGOs & their evil allies in between dirty game they are trying playing
against our counrtry & our people. Then they will be enraged pretty
badly & they would be the first people to killing the long noses in
their villages. The Europeans & their Americans came to Africa in 19s
with their Bibles>>>

But on the 21s century, the same Europeans & their Americans want to
revisit their Africa with their so-called humanitarian aid, donations,
peacekeeping & their so-called human rights business bullshit on one
hand & their so-called UNSC sanctions on the other>>>

Some of our Nuer idiots
are not even noticing what was done in the Gambella region. Where the
Anyuak people were quietly swept off their land & given to the gulf
Arab states to grow their own food on. The British are creeping back
to Central Kenya & they are having a lot problems these days with the
Sambruru, same thing in Tanzania, Zimbabwe & obviously South Africa>>>

But anyway for all l
care, we will never ever welcome the evil white Americans, English
people and their evil juus into the Dinka/Momjang country with their
usual dirty intrigues and they know it. But would really want to know
what are those communities in our country that would want to bring the
long noses into their villages? We would really want to know.

Newsudan,

You are just a lowlife! Kiir is not a private man but a
public figure so he deserves respect and insults in equal measures. I
have every right to criticise Kiir and his regime of morons!!

Is Kiir, himself who can end rebellion in the country not governors.
I really blame president Kiir on what he had said.

problem to the country.

Ayuiu,

Continue singing that song of ".....I see [the] president has
no problem....." Kiir leades the government and the army. Any
governance malaise herein South Sudan is solely attributable to him
and only him.

Is only the failed president and only him can end the
senseless war he caused due to fear of power being lost.... He need to
apologize to South Sudanese people’s particularly the Nuer tribe, and
than resign so that the Southerners can choose their next leader....
Otherwise failing to do so, it’s will prolong this war for a very long
time!!!!
