    Dear readers,

    It looks as if Salva Kiir Miyardit is just reacting to the statements of Dr. Riek Machar which I read the other day on Sudantribune about the need for good governance and immediate implementation of parties conference resolutions.

    That is very good.

    But assume that the membership of that Constitutonal review committe should include all the parties in the South.

    Good that John Luk is chairing it becuase this is a man of principles who doesn’t easily go by the wind of power. He is a legal minded leader.

    Bravo Kiir but do it the right way!!!

      Gatwech,

      It was agreed during the political parties conference about the need to review the constitution and the interim government after the referendum.

      It has nothing to do with Riek Machar, in fact Riek was also a part of that conference. Mr Gatwech, don’t be too complacent about Riek political future

        Riek Machar and Salva kiir are in the same boat; it doesn’t matter who says what and who does what. They will be judge the same. Little nyagat Nya-witch need to back down with his usual premature praisings to his boyfriend Riek Machar.

        Long live the patriots of the South!

      Gatwech, why don’t you just become the last wife of Riek Machar so that you could cheer him all the time when he comes up of the South Sudan government agenda?

      Remember Dr. Riek Machar is the second man to Salva Kiir Mayardit and according to how things work in any country on earth work, it is the president that runs the country and not the other way around.

      You are so sick of blinding support of Riek Machar to the extend that you are living in a sea of lies and self misleading. I am sure even Dr. Riek’s wife does not blindly support him the way you do. Back up a little bit and next time remember to give the credit of whatever have been said to the government of South Sudan. Remember this brother once failed to convince international community to support his movement when he broke away in 1991 and so he was forced to join our enemy. Do you think such a personal would be anyhow smarter than those who stayed behind and had their well done job accomplished?

    Tribalists will keep on trying to destory credibility of chrismatic leader like Dr. Riek Machar but for sure they will never succede because he (Dr.Riek) is the reason why we have achieved this referundum.

    This chapter (system of categorizing South Sudanese base on tribalism) is nearly over but the next one is to stop this who leverage on it and for South Sudanese to invest on leaders like Dr. Riek Machar.

      If you think he is, he would have won hearts and minds of Southerners in 1991 and that he would have not gone to work for Omar Al Bashir and his National Popular Defense and so I do not know which credibility you are talking about.?

    It is a great move for Salva Kiir to appoint the constitution review board.
    The rule of law and democracy is what our newly born country need dearly at the moment.

    Gatwech, decisions are not made overnight but they are planned and released to the public at the appropriate time due.
    Dr Machar as vice president has his own plans which are akin to Salva Kiir’s since they run the same government.
    By Saying that Kiir was just reacting to Riek’s recent comment is not logical.
    Whether it was Riek who first make the similar sentiment is immaterial.
    What matters is that they agree in principle in what they are feeding the public.
    I urge you to comment maturely and rationally without bias in term of how you view the two.
    They may be hailing from our tribes but we need to view them as national materials.

  It’s time to limit the governing by decree of the president with the exceptions only in the extraordinarily circumstances like in war or natural disaster whereby a president can exercises such power. It’s time to give new elected legislature powers so that they could enact legislation based on what people wants not on president’s desires. and I would like all the appointed officials to through rigorous confirmation process, the same process here in the United States where the senate confirm or rejects the nominee of the president based on his/her qualification among other things. Moreover, It is also time to confirm top military officials from Brigadier to General who are promoted by the president and then would be go through the same process through our elected legislature body as well.
  Finally, I would like to see all parties included on this constitutional review process, and may be abolished or amend or even do away with the current interim constitution altogether and start with the clean slate. And afterward put the final document up for referendum so that it could be ratifies by all citizens in all Southern states. A document we could finally call, a people’s constitution.
  Just abolished the current government and have the transitional government for a period of Four to three months starting July 10. No more one, two or three years transitional period...We had enough of six years interim.. Immediate elections for all the post includes the presidency and county commissioners too, after the end of the above stated transitional period will be the only solution to get us out of the mess we find ourselves at the moment.

  To all our fallen heroes & heroines would be proud if we did.!!!!!! God bless people of South Sudan.

        Mr Sudani Logic

        Your sympathetic response to poor Nasreldin was very impressive. I think that is the only way to approach moody people like him in the North. Breaking up of the country is touching others heart and is hurting others badly!

        The only sad thing is that we’ve got a very few people in the South like Gatwech who are out of touch. Brother Gatwech in some cases he posts a very convincing argument to this forum, but in other case his postings are out of touch. His tribal and blind support to Riek Machar has exceeded his limit. And I do agree he might be needed some help...
        Mr Gatwech has forgot that there are people out there who are non-Nuer and are giving full respect to Riek Machar as the Vice President of the South, but with Gatwech poor and tribal judgement of things will prompt them to distant themselves from Riek respect. What alas!!!

        Keep it up

  Hey guys stop going back and forth praising Dr. Riek as if he’s a hero, he must be a hero if we infact happened to label those who had committed crimes amd attrocites as heroes. Let him just work peacefully such that to relief himself from his past mischief in case to get recognized and be forgiven. And so, even if we for give him, the perishable-number of (victims) the civilians he has killed won’t forgive.

  So let him do his job as our beloved vice president without appraising his well did at this critical movement of hardships because he might go crazy and blow it up, i mean the anticipated secession of our beloved awaiting nation, thinking that what he does is always the best.....and comparision to few individuals whom are still babbling and clinging to the so-called (1991)as if it was a perfect uprise, but not knowing that it was delusional for having taken thousands of southerners lives from both nuers and dinkas instead of using that force toward our common eneny.

  Matter of fact, the verity vision to claims is Dr john Garang’s vision since his vision was such a clear and pure and far from any evil associate, because his aim was to liberate and free all the marginazed people from every corner of sudan and after he failed achieving it when his party (spla) was weakened by the nasir faction (ssim) who deserted the (spla) and joined the khartoum goverment to fight against the (spla) when it was almost at the point of capturing Juba.

  In that case, Dr. John shifted to his plan "B" of which brought us the (CPA) that he signed in 2005, i will attributed to him and so do every hardcore (spla) members since the inception of it to the present, not talk of deserters.

  Finally, i will remind you one of his quotations: he said, when you are asking for something, start with something greater or the entire thing and you will eventually end up getting half of its share, and if you start it with something smaller then you will automatically end up getting nothing at all----this remind me of his new sudan vision he was aiming at and since he went unsuccesful on that, he ends up getting a portion of the whole sudan through (cpa) on which he reiterated that, if you want to vote for unity and be a second class citizen then it’s your choice. So where the hell is Riek vision from here, stop visualizing criminal vision as visionary, tired those hoodwinkers!.
