February 23, 2017 (JUBA) - The widow of John Garang, the founder of
South Sudan’s ruling party (SPLM) has said the peace deal, which was
signed in 2015 to end more than three years conflict has collapsed,
citing failure to implement the security arrangement.

“We talk about peace in a vacuum because our leaders are not ready to
listen. When Dr.Riek left the country, Taban was put in place of
Dr.Riek in less than two or three days and when he was appointed the
language changed and was saying Riek should wait for elections”,
Rebecca Garang told a briefing of South Sudanese in the Diasporas in
the United States.

Rebecca said some of the foreign diplomats in Juba mistakenly
supported replacement of the former first vice president Riek Machar
with Taban Deng Gai on the ground that the latter would impress
president Kiir to implement the agreement because of the perception
that the former would cooperate with him than he would do with Machar.

“But how can peace come to South Sudan when security arrangement has
collapsed and the person who is signatory to the agreement is not
there? It means there is no peace. So I want to tell you there is no
agreement being implemented in Juba to tell you the truth," she said,
adding that Kiir is implementing reservations, not the accord.

Garang, a former minister for roads and transport, fell out with the
Juba government after openly criticising President Kiir’s
administration and proposing regime change.

The 2015 peace accord, which temporarily ended the ongoing conflict,
has not been fully implemented, with the peace monitoring body (JMEC)
accusing the warring factions of reneging on what they had committed
themselves to during it’s signing.

Akums, Dinka-Defender General, Kush Natives and the likes
Have you heard from Rebecca Garang. Go ahead fools with
implementation of your reservations and let us see what you will
achieve after the so-called National Dialogue. You must fail in your
attempt, with your couple of misguided Diplomats and neighboring
countries. Stop lying.

Fair Man and Naath,
South Sudanese people are going well with President Kiir
government and policies and it is good to stay away from South Sudan
politics otherwise you have no benefit to add on South Sudan politics
since you are virus to South Sudanese social fabrics. It’s good Gen.
Taban, Dr. Lomoro, James Wani, Mamur, Gatluak kew, Riek Gai, Lado and
rest of politics are with President Kiir

Mr Akuma. All those names you mentioned are slaves to
Jienge Elders and President. They cannot argue any point because you
will arrest and kill them. They work under extreme fears. You know
that. Hope U got it clearly from Mrs Garang. Keep avoiding Rieck, the
war is endless. Just wait and see since you believe in cohesive
mechanism to control citizens of the the land.

Rebecca is with Riek Machar from the beginning of this
conflict in South Sudan. Her own son is 100% with Riek, so what is new
here?

repondre message

Yes. Because some Dinka took him away from her and the son.

Lokoli,

Stop these empty threats about war, war is not good
for anyone in South Sudan. 3 years now since Riek started war in South
Sudan. What happened? His own community is dying of starvation, but he
can not help them. Riek is unable to liberate his home down, but he is
able to bring hunger to them. What do you mean by this: "Because some
Dinka took him away from her and the son".

Fair Man,
Rebeca D’ Mabior is learning how to plays Xbox game. She don’t
even know herself of who she’s. This country called South Sudan today,
was none founded by balah balah, lying and so forth by the
opportunist. This woman should starts giving up and raise her lovely
family, rather then making nonsense in and out in her daily routine.
She have got none to rectify or justify her status.

"She have got none to rectify or justify her status". Your
grammar is appalling go back to school if at all you attended any.
South Sudan needs brilliant minds not dull ones like yours or else we
could be taken through the same path with illiterate minds like those
in the Government.

Mr. Fair Man, there was no peace agreement that was signed in
Adis Ababa chap. Tells Rebbeca Nyandeng and others who seem not have
understood what. That so-called compromise peace agreement (CPA
II).http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article56093 As it was known
by Riek Macahar supporters was a hand over of our country to the UN,
AU and IGAD-PLUS countries fellows>>>

Re-read the whole text line by line, understand it and
then tell us again if there was an agreement to be implemented by the
government of South Sudan. Unless otherwise you do have an English
comprehension deficit. Most Riek Machar supporters are not the
smartest kids in the block anyway. The whole agreement was a sell out
of our country by the traitors like Riek Machar and Pagan Amuom>>>

repondre message
24 February 15:37, by Kuch

The whole so-called agreement was not negotiated by
anyone, but was drafted by the TROIKA, the UN, the AU and IGAD-PLUS
and pushed into the government of South Sudan and your Riek Machar’s
team throats to sign by force. And that was why the government of
South Sudan protested not to sign it in Adis Ababa. But later on came
and sign it a week later in Juba with a lot of "SERIOUS
RESERVATIONS">>>

Fools like Riek Machar and Pagan Amuom didn’t have
a choice, they were coerced to sign that damn paper by their foreign
sponsors. But the whole agreement was a hand over of our country to
foreign powers. have a look on this link by Simon Yel

You always talked tribal especially you pointed out Dinka that
they lied. Did you forgot that Rebecca Garang is Dinka how come you
believed the lies said by Dinka today.

Dinka gangs leader kiir is known worldwide for being foolish, war
criminal, and power hungry. His appointment for Taban Deng mean more
wars, more death and endless destruction of nation’s properties.

I do not believe in dinakism or nuerism, but i believe in SS
nationalism. There is no tribe which is bigger than the country.
Individuals should be hold to account for their messes not their
tribes or regions where they come from. So guys let us grow up like
nationalists leaving tribes out of national affairs

I do not believe that my tribe can independently develop
without other tribes. We all need each other if not then we should
prepare to perish together like fools. All tribes in SS have
contributed to this current mess. Every tribe is represented in the
government whether national or state level. This useless spla/m is
comprised of all kinds of Gibbons including yours.

How come for Rebecca Nyandeeng to talk about the replacement of
renegade Riek Machar by General Taban Deng? Did she not read in the
agreement that if the office of first vice president is vacant for
48hrs, then the SPLM/A-IO must sit and select the one to fill the
vacant? What is in the mind of Rebeeca, Majak Agot, Pagan Amum, Deng
Alor who is in the government is selling the South Sudan.

You can said that again Mama Rebecca, South Sudan need to be

Dear South Sudanese, Rebecca Nyandeng Garang is a Dinka but
she is expressing herself as a citizen of South Sudan but people like
Naath and the like always dwell on tribal comments with much dislike
on Dinka people. To be honest even if Silva Kiir is bad and even
dislike by some Dinkas, your general dislike towards Dinka people will
make all Dinkas stand firm with President Silva Kiir in any case.

Frak Cho. that is being a fool if you cannot differentiate
between good and bad leadership. Do you know how many Dinka are dying
on a daily basis as result of this war? Why would you support someone
you very well that is not capable to lead the nation and has brought
shame on the all tribe. That alone shows level of low sighted as the
whole tribe. Wake up!!!

Instead of wasting time defending former rebel leader-turned
President of the Country, you should better be looking for a friendly
Country around the world where Kiir will take refuge after being
thrown out by a coalition soon to be announced. We can not allow him
to be in the country even if he resigns today. Watch out JCE!

Good to hear that Juba regime is not implementing any agreement.
Therefore, no need of complaining since South Sudanese are claiming
their rights by whichever options are available. Go ahead sir with
your dialogue and wishing you the best.The means will justify the
ends.
