President Kiir: a transitional government without me is a REDLINE
“The dissolution of the National Legislature, Speaker sir, honorable members, I said in Addis Ababa, that it is a red-line and I’m very clear on this. The members of this August House were elected by their constituencies to represent them in accordance with the transitional constitution of the Republic of South Sudan. And nobody on this earth will be allowed to dishonor their legitimacy. They also plan, or at least, hope to constitute a transitional government without Salva Kiir. They want to bring somebody of their choice to be the president of that transitional government. Your excellence, that too, is a red line – political manipulations that are intended to compromise our constitution and potentially cause more problems to our people will not be allowed.” –President Salva Kiir told Members of Parliament during an emergency sitting of the Assembly this Thursday morning (19 June 2014) in Juba, South Sudan.
