February 3, 2017 (JUBA)- South Sudan president Salva Kiir has been
amused by the visit and donation made by Moroccan King Mohammed the
VI, describing him as a "true brother".
“There is no other way I can describe the support we have received
from His Majesty the King of Morocco than to say he is a true brother.
A brother stands with a brother at all times, whether it is good or
bad time. On behalf of the government and the people of South Sudan, I
extend sincere him appreciation and thanks for support we have
received from the people and government of Morocco headed by His
Majesty the king. We pledge our support and cooperation with the
government and the people of Morocco in all fields,” said president
Kiir after visiting Juba military hospital on Thursday.
President Kiir, together with the King Mohammed VI of Morocco, on
Thursday held a last meeting after inauguration of a Moroccan mobile
clinic in Juba at Dr John Garang Mausoleum.
The South Sudanese leader, also, said that the two-day visit
symbolizes the commitment of the Moroccan King and upholds the values
of pan-Africanism and solidity.
King Mohammed VI’s visit to South Sudan takes palace after the
readmission of his country at the African Union more than three
decades after it left to protest the recognition of the independence
of the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
Juba in the past supported the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic which
was among the first countries to recognise South Sudan Independence.
However, Rabat, which plans to forge an anti Saharawi front inside the
African Union in order to expel them from the African Union, hopes
that South Sudan will join this alliance after it refused to oppose
its readmission to the regional body.
Several several southern African countries said opposed to the Morocco
reintegration in the African Union and condemned "the occupation of
Western Sahara by Morocco".
Information minister and the government spokesperson expressed
appreciation of support from the Moroccan King Mohammed VI.
“When His Majesty visited the mobile hospital, he found a young sick
man, and he decided to take him and that he should be accompanied by a
doctor, he decided to go and treat him and take maximum care until he
gets well,” Minister Michael Lueth told reporters after the end of the
two days visit on Thursday.
Lueth revealed that the Moroccan King has invited President Salva Kiir
to visit Morocco. He did not say when the visit would take place but
that it would occur when preparations are completed.

To address an Arab as "true brother" is the peak of jienge
inferiority complex and bootlicking. Kiir hasn´t even addressed any of
the Black African leaders like this. This is submissiveness of the
lowest order. Perhaps now, Kiir will be sending some jienges to
Morocco to works as houseslaves, you can´t tell.

But when will the implementation of what you have signed begin?
You better speed up the exercise because Juba is no longer safe for
your SPLM to live for ten more years. Thanks to His majesty Mohammad
for showing the love needed of us by God. Since Kiir is now your
friend, you got to teach him how to pull out of an organization when
one is not satisfied with the way one’s country is being treated

Here is a country blessed with some of the most fertile soils on
the continent, abundant water, minerals and petroleum, wild life, but
for the incompetence of its leaders can not build schools, roads,
hospitals or even feed itself! For JCE stupidity, we have more bullets
in the country than medication! Now JCE wants a foreign country to
build and own their capital city! R We independent?
