"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.

– Taban was Kiir’s ally and right hand man for him in Bentiu when was Riek’s number one enemy. Now, he’s Riek’s ally who spearheaded all means of getting Kiir out of the power either militarily or politically . he was Riek’s compaign manager before rebellion to oust Kiir in SPLM now he is the chief negotiator for the rebels in Addis .

– Dr. Riek was vice president in Juba and feeling safe while Dr. Lam was outside Juba (exille) feeling unsafe as gov’t baptized him to be ” an enemy of peace in south Sudan . Now Lam is inside Juba and feeling safe and enjoying the gov’t privileges as an official opposition party leader with Mps in the parliament while Riek is outside Juba as an official rebel leader and SPLM in opposition party leader with soldiers in the bushes trying to overthrow the gov’t to democratize south Sudan vie bullets, deaths and destruction.

– Riek was in the government talking trash at Lam when he broke a way from the SPLM and founded his SPLM-DC saying ” he is a power hunger man who doesn’t like anything rather than to be the leader even in such critical time when south Sudan is at crossroad “. Lam condemned the acts of insurgents who wanted to overthrow the elected gov’t and declared his support to the gov’t .He is now part of gov’t negotiation team smiling as the government talks trash of Riek as ” prophet of doom” .

– Dr. Majak was close to Kiir and Deng Dau was close to Nyandeeng now Dr. Majak is now closer to Nyandeeng and Deng Dau becomes closer to Kiir as he heads the disables commission .

– John Koang Nyuon and Kuol Manyang Juuk switched Jobs. Koang was the defence minister and he became governor. Kuol was the governor and he became the defence minister.

– Telar and Aleu were dismissed out of SPLM in 2008 when they excused the party chairman of dictatorship while Pagan Amum was the second most powerful man who condemned their acts and influenced the president Kiir to dismissed them out of the party.

Now Pagan is out of the SPLM when he launched sarcastic attacks on the president of being dictator while the powerless has become the second most powerful man in center of decision making and his friend Hon. Aleu Anyieny assumes the role Kiir’s erst while friend mr. Gier Chuang . No one knows if Aleu influenced Kiir to dismiss Pagan but no doubt he was the one who quoted the articles or wrote the presidential decree with instructions from Kiir .

-Thomas Chirlo and Mbuto mamur switched from anti- Kiir to pro-Kiir many times and accused each other of being a member of group who wanted to oust the president, finally Mbuto is trusted more than Thomas Chirlo and he in charge of Kiir is security now
