“Yes, Dr. Riek has come and we have now formed the government which they [international community] were using as the card to deny providing any support. They have refused to provide any assistance, even loans which we would pay back. They connected them to the formation of the transitional government of national unity which we have now formed. Now that the government they wanted is formed, they have not come forward to provide assistance which they said they would provide. If they did not provide them because they were waiting for Dr. Riek, they should now provide them because he has come, after all the people who would benefit from whatever assistance they will give Dr. Riek are South Sudanese,” Kiir told political a group of his political allies and supporters who went to congratulate him on the formation of the unity government.
