If President Kiir is stupid, then he will continue to negotiate with the non-issue Riek Machar

August 15, 2015 (SSB) — In as far as peace talks is concerned in Addis, there is no point for H.E President Gen.Salva Kiir Mayardit continuing to engage in peace talks with no-issue Dr. Machar Teny Dhurgon. Why waste time and resources.
First President Kiir should understand that he is the president of the Republic with majority support from the people of South Sudan. Having wasted time and resources to strike a peace-deal with unreasonable Machar for peace to come home is a mere dream that will never materialize in all its aspects. Why waste time?
Second, have Kiir forgot that it is the same Machar of 1991 that is dragging him and making fun of him? Please Mr. President let us not joke with peace negotiation so long the party to negotiation with you is a good smiling Dr. Riek Machar. Please take the same path of treatment you and late hero Garang have taken in 1990s when dealing with bad Machar and if you have forgotten because of age then let me remind you.
Dr. Machar is not looking for peace but power and in such situation power cannot be found in execution of peace my dear President. That is why Dr. Garang and You taught him a lesson in 1991 until he surrendered himself to Khartoum why not doing it now? Why Waste time with a rogue and jerk?
Third, Mr. President you are given enough time to deal with Machar once and for all but you fail several times to give him the cake he wants to eat. Why waste time to negotiate with self-proclaimed leader who claimed control troops he has no capacity over them? Why waste time with a leader who does not hold an inch within the territories of the Republic?
Waste no more time but clear few cattle thugs out for peace to eventually come alone just like it happened in 2002 when he shamelessly surrendered to your leadership under Garang with you as Deputy Commander-In Chief. Don’t you see there are possibilities for desperate power Machar doing the same with you if you tighten your belt and control the movement of air for him? Please stop wasting time!
Who will YOU deal with now that Machar’s self-proclaimed movement crumbled just like 1991? Do you want to continue negotiating with each thug under broken piece of nothing BUT a symbol of shame to our country? Please waste no time with MACHAR.
Negotiating with each commander under broken movement will be expensive and please do not repeat the same mistakes of post CPA re-integration of all these power hungry commanders of unreasonable movement. After Machar’s movement met its death in 1991, each commander that was under him claimed to be independence from poor Machar. This is the same incident happening now and for how long will you have endless re-integration of thugs into the national army?
I am here to tell you for free that Machar will go back to you just like he did to Garang in 2002, the only thing you need to do is to feed your army and keep them on guard for desperate Machar will have no choice but to surrender.
Worry no more about international community who are also making fun of you by treating the enemy of the people Dr. Machar with same powers like you. Majority of South Sudanese know very well of who is better than who among the two of you. Your records in the History of Our Republic are well known than that of blood-tainted Machar. Why waste time Mr. President?
Ruthless power hungry Dr. Riek Machar should not hold South Sudan and You at ransom for reasons well known to him and not South Sudanese. Please keep blanket amnesty open for anyone who wants to join you after disarming his few thugs whom he called troops. Why waste time with him?
People are losing patient with you for your information Mr. President because they see no need for you having wasted our resources and time for development in what is stupidly known as peace talk with Machar. Stop please and concentrate on internal peace initiative just like the likes of Wunlit peace talk done by elders and that is better peace for South Sudan than self-interested American driven negotiation in Addis.
All tools to finish Machar’s rebellion are now in your hands and the signs are clearly written on the wall and people are looking forward to see you acting on Machar and his few jerks left with him. Why waste time anymore?
