What? common P. Kiir. Why do you change governors like cloths?
What is important? Implementing the peace accord and insecurity. We,
the generals and public are getting frustrate over your leaderships
and you need to stop your executive orders immediately because it does
not help the country.

Now you guys are getting to understand how frustrated Kiir can be,
Kiir is a dying horse. His decree has become useless. Kiir is a cast
to South Sudan. He should refrain from all this unnecessary decree
order based on jieng council of Elders advice and avoid them from
interfering in to country’s affairs. Kiir if you can no longer manage
the country please step aside.

Kiir wants to work with puppets but his advisors have failed or
are afraid to tell him humans are not puppets; they reason and want to
act rationally sometimes.....
