March 28, 2017 (JUBA) - South Sudan Minister of Federal Affairs,
Richard K. Mulla, said the new nation will adopt federalism after the
transitional period.
Further discussion on the form of federalism will lead to an
acceptable division of powers between national and local governments,
Minister Mulla told a workshop on governance in Juba on Tuesday.
"South Sudan has accepted federalism as a form of governance. What is
left is the form of federalism because there are several of them,"
said Mulla.
The minister was speaking at the closing workshop on the form of
governance in the South Sudanese capital, Juba.
According to the August 2015 peace agreement, which created Ministry
of Federal Affairs for the first time, the constitution writing
process will adopt the form of governance preferred by all South
Sudanese.
The SPLM In Opposition (IO) to which Minister Mulla belongs, demanded
federalism as a system of government and opposed decentralised form
where all powers and resources are controlled by the national
government in the capital Juba.
The government of President Salva Kiir rejected adoption of federalism
at the onset of Transitional Government of National Unity (TGONU) and
referred to hold further discussions on the topic during the interim
period.
Opponents of the federal rule said dividing the country into
semi-autonomous states that control some resources and decide on local
issues will lead to further disintegration. Proponents, however, urges
that the country’s diversity means it is difficult to manage in the
centre with the participation of all tribal or regional groups.
There has been no public discussion on the topic since the
government-censored media coverage of the topic after the armed
opposition, the SPLM-IO, vigorously campaigned for it.
Minister Mulla said the "tribal federation" will not be acceptable but
declined to divulge further details.
Armed groups from the Equatoria region joined the SPLM-IO led by the
former First Vice President Riek Machar and backed his proposal for a
federal system in the country claiming it would be the better thing to
stop the Dinka hegemony in their region.

Let’s go for, if that will help on rebellion against state. But,I
think it will be a problem again, some states have no resources that
will keep them developing. But, let’s at least try it.

There is two type of federalism’s system that our government need
to look into.1- is Dual Federalism wish mean the state share power

but before the establishment of the federalism in the country,
the government need to make sure all the politicians parties are
understanding themselves before they make any choices and SPLA IO and
any Rebel in the country must denounce violence frost specially Reik
Machar. I think Dual federalism is good. what about you? what do think

Don’t we already have federalism? Who is from Upper Nile is a
governor in Northern Bar El Gazelle? And who from Bar El Gazelle is a
governor in Central Equatoria? etc.; None because we already have
federalism that’s why every State in South Sudan is being governed by
its inhabitants! Unless some people don’t have any clue of what
federalism means!
