Condemnation of President Salva Kiir’s Shocking Speech in Khartoum
Press release: Response to Mr. President Salva Kiir’s Shocking Speech in Khartoum
November 9, 2017 (SSB) — The South Sudan peace coalition in Nairobi -Kenya is hurt and bitter for the President’s regrettable speech that South Sudan broke away from Sudan was not a choice of all people but we respect their democratic right. The statement made by Mr. President shocked people of South Sudan in general since the voted overwhelmingly in all constituencies for self-determination as the oldest demand since 1947 until 2011 when southerners succeeded.
South Sudan peace coalition in Kenya would like the lawmakers to amount pressure to Mr. President for unwanted deals he signed with Khartoum government since 2012, like the creation of buffer zone in South Sudan territories of Panthou, Hofra Al Nahas, Kaka, 14 miles which didn’t satisfy people’s interest and many protested demanding president to terminate the agreement which compromised the country’s sovereignty but he insisted.
The desperate statement by Mr President has shown that he is incapable and have no capacity to run the affairs of the country and therefore people of South Sudan have right to demand Mr. President to resign in goodwill and masses will elect the sound minded person who will defend the sovereignty and integrity of the Republic of South Sudan.
As the matter of facts president Kiir Mayardit should resign and leave power to people of South Sudan to decide who can take them to the next level, it’s a meek request because president seems not enable to run the government business.
Best regards
Daniel Yor, Chairman
South Sudan peace coalition
