Kiir denies his infection with coronavirus on 25 May (SKM fans photo) May 25, 2020 (JUBA) - President Salva Kiir addressed the nation on Monday calling to observe social distancing rules to contain community transmission of coronavirus and to ignore false rumours about his infection with the respiratory disease.

Kiir’s remarks come after the circulation in the social media of forged letter tasking the vice-president Hussein Abdelbagi with the day to day management of the country amid rumours that Kiir tested positive for COVID-19.

Furthermore, there were fake reports claiming that he left the country to Egypt for treatment of coronavirus.

"I want to urge all of you to refocus your energies to the fight against Coronavirus pandemic and leave futile politicking and helpless propaganda for now," said Kiir

He referred to rumours about his contamination and denied his travel to Egypt and called on the South Sudanese to "not delve into propaganda".

"They said that President Kiir has COVID-19 and he has escaped to Egypt. They even went on as far as saying the President is dead," he said.

Kiir further “I have never gone for refuge since I was young. I will stay here and die even to the last person in this country. I’m one of those people who said my bones will be buried in South Sudan,” he said

Kiir also dismissed the assignment of Abdelbagi as a caretaker.

"There has never been any reassignment of duties of the President,".he stressed.

South Sudan’s Ministry of Health on Sunday confirmed that the number of COVID-19 infections rose to 665.

Last week, First Vice President Riek Machar, Defence Minister Angelina Teny and Information Minister Michael Makuei tested positive and self-isolated themselves.

Also, several other members of the former High-Level Task Force for COVID-19 have been infected by the disease.

For his part, Machar appeared in good shape on the official TV from his residence in Juba on Sunday to congratulate South Sudanese Muslims of Eid al-Fitr. Also, his wife and defence minister Angelina Teny was seen with him.

Yeah, South Sudanese people are getting tired about you guys and they don’t see you around then,they might assume both vice President Riek Machar and Salva Kiir are dead. People seem to love their leaders when they do good things in the country however, your leadership and Riek Machar’s ability have made South Sudan so weak and poor. I recommend you to hand power to Dr.Nhial Deng or Taban Deng Gai

  It seems to many people that your problem with Riek Machar has gone beyond hatters. Riek was in TV fews days ago telling the world and the people of South Sudan, he had tested positive with Covid-19. That shown he is leader. While your idiots Salva Kiir Mayardit was disappear from the public without logic reasons, and this is why people are creating something from nowhere on hi.

  It is obvious that you have problem with Kiir but you should not link his case with dr.Riek. We can never sit back and watch Dinka terrorizing other tribe in South Sudan claiming that they were the only tribe fought with Jalaba. Our History did not begin in 1991. Go back to Gajaak 1984 Massacre by Dinka and have a true background of SS history. If you want to change Kiir, its up to you

      One of Nuers problems is magician. Nuers believe from that stupid called Nyundeng (spelling check). This stupid believe did not help Nuer in 1991, it did not help them in 2013 and will not help them 2023. Nuers lost war in 1991 and 2013. 1991 is the real problem we are facing today. Anything goes wrong in South Sudan is related to 1991, period.

        So you were not defeated by the Dinka in the 90s? Why were you dislodged from Bor, Twic east and Duk and destroyed in your own counties following our retaliation? The Shilluk joined you, as did the Equatorian Defence Force and other Equatorian tribal militia groups. You created an alliance with the SAF, PDF, Murahaleen and still lost. Why is that?

        We defeated Riek’s forces in the 90s even while fighting the SAF which had 100, 000 fighters. The PDF had around 70, 000 men. Paulino Matip had 50, 000 troops and other Khartoum aligned Nuer Generals like Peter Gadet, Gabriel Gatwec Tanginy and Gordon Kong had tens of thousands of troops while the various other tribal militias in South Sudan had tens of thousands of fighters as well.

You people joined Khartoum in 91 and returned in 2006, and the Dinka suffered fighting the entire SAF for 14 years without you or the Equatorians, Shilluk, Fertit and Murle - so don’t even try to boast.

        Salva Kiir allowed Bashir’s Nuer militiamen to join the SPLA with tens of thousands of fighters; Matip alone returned with 50, 000 and that dog (Matip) became Deputy Commander-in-Chief. Riek was not only allowed to return after the break-down of his alliance with Khartoum... He became Vice-President. None of this should have happened.

        Khartoum also armed and supported the Mundari militia and supported tribal militia groups from the Toposa, Lotuka, Didinga, Boya and Acholi tribes. I don’t even need to mention the Nuer — Khartoum’s favorite tribe. The Dinka were the overwhelming majority in the army until 2006 - the year when the Nuer returned after decades of service to the Arabs.

        The Anya-Nya 1 rebellion started in 1962-63, and that was more than just a mutiny... it was the actual start of the first civil war, and the Dinka provided more than enough troops. Also, Anya-Nya was not a centralised movement; the Dinka in Bahr el Ghazal had their own cells. If you want to believe that a few weeks in a mutiny eclipse centuries, be my guest.

        The Dinka (among others) flocked to Juba because it’s been our capital for decades and was further developed during the Interim Period. This has nothing to do with some some innate yearning [by the Dinka] to move away from home. In any case, fhe capital should be moved to Ramciel and the Dinka will follow. Equatoria will never achieve Statehood, so stop deluding yourself.

        "Equatoria will never achieve Statehood"..is this objective analysis or outright fear? Equatoria has over 30 different nationalities who’ve co-existed peacefully. If any, the degree of inter-ethnic violence is not reminiscent to the intra-jienge fracticide. Intellectually, in terms of HR, natural resources, skills and ability to change are all available. Equatoria doesn’t need jienge.

        Perhaps eating "monkey meat" would make you a bit more intelligent and smarter than your acclaimed cow meat, where most are ordinary nuts and savages. For fear of starvation, most jienge should be dishing up monkey stew with bananas in Juba now.

        Dr. John Garang aspired to move the capital to Lakes State, and had he survived, he most certainly would have done precisely just that. Building a new capital requires money - lots of money...Money that the criminals in Juba would rather steal for themselves and their families...

        The NLA didn’t come up with the idea of moving the capital — it was Garang that thought of that long before he died. It all fell apart when Salva Kiir succeeded Garang. The Tigray-Tigrinya and Amhara tribes dominate Ethiopia and yet they haven’t moved the capital to Mekelle, so this kind of situation is not unique to South Sudan.

        ..Immediately following Dr. John Garang’s death, it was the Equatorians that insisted that Juba remain the capital of South Sudan and that Dr. John Garang’s body could be safely entombed in that city after many Dinka voices evoked the memory and spectre of Kokora. The capital should have been moved over a decade ago, but the Equatorian leadership had a hand it scuttling such plans...

        The true about the Last war in South Sudan is that, after captured of Fagak HQ of IO clearly, the world have projected that, the rebels of former vice president Riek Machar have been defeated that is the fact to put in your mind. Second, the war was not between Dinka and Nuers this is another fact because it was a political within one Party being greedy about leadership.

        South South (Low informed),
        War did not started in 1991, it was 1983 in Bilpam (Itang)between SSDM and SPLA not between SSIM and SPLA of 1991. Dr.Riek won all the wars you mentioned but because you don’t have brain to analyze. SSIM give birth to 2011 which you are enjoying and 2013 give birth to institution reform. What happen to your Dinka vision of New Sudan? Are you still following?

    I am laughing at you man. From the beginning, those of Samuel Gai Tut and Abdullah Chuol were arming Nuers people to come and killed and looted cows from Dinka and Murle. They were lacking objections this was why the new groups known as SPLA/SPLM took over the Bilam and set up the mission which brought the independence. The Nuers people are known disaster.

      Without Nuer, there would never have something call SPL/A, we made the SPL/A and we will destroy it. SPL/A is nearly done deals. Enjoy our self-determination that were brought by Riek section

        Did your uncle Riek Machar Teny brought self determination in Khartoum peace agreement?.You guys should be ashamed for claiming something you have never done it. Can you name a single town in Upper Nile that was liberated without Dinka help?. Riek Machar made Nuers too ashamed in South Sudan.

        The Nuer left in 91 and did not contribute to the liberation after that point, so they are in no position to speak and will be reminded of their cowardice and treachery every time they feign amnesia. The Nuer used to be great people, but they morphed into lying, Arab compliant dogs. Their defection almost destroyed the SPLA and now they want credit. Idiots!

        Throughout the fighting, not one war casualty was admitted to the Nasir hospital. Riek’s troops sat idle as Khartoum pushed back the Dinka. The results of Riek’’s sell-out to Khartoum could not have been more glaring. The Dinka suffered mightily. (Me Against My Brother: At War in Somalia, Sudan and Rwanda, Scott Peterson)

        A message for the Nuer:
        
        Salva Kiir is your greatest ally. You would not have been allowed to return to the army with such a large number of traitors under anybody else. You would not have been allowed to dominate the very army that you fought against for almost two decades. You would have been defeated the very same way that you were defeated in the 90s, without the involvement of the Ugandans.

      Mayendit,
      Your children will remain coward and will keep runing when ever they hear name ’’Nuer’’ simply because you are liar. Please ask for a history and we will educate you. IT was Kuot Atem/Samuel Gai in one side and Dr.John Garang and William Nyuon form the other side. Start educating your child with truth. Dinka hijacked the history recently after 2005, SPLA were never been purely Dinka.

        We allowed your people to return in 2004-6, so we have no need to fear Khartoum’s cowardly prostitutes. You do realise that Akuot Atem De Mayen was Dinka? That fact alone destroys your moronic narrative. Your people returned after the CPA was signed and now you pretend that you were not Khartoum’s lapdogs.

        There is no needs for insult, if you feel humiliated, please hang yourself. If your problem is being in Khartoum government, Who was Abel Alier, Bona Malual etc Are they not Dinka. If you talk of Matip, how about Kerbino Kuanyin Bol, is he not Dinka? If you talk of Rebellion, Paul Malong and George Athor etc are they not Dinka? accept the defeat my dear

        No Dinka traitor has ever had a Khartoum-compliant army of thousands under their command. Men like Arok Thon Arok did not have armies of their own after they joined Khartoum; his own uncle (Bior Ajang Duot) was sent out to neutralise him. Kerubino was provided with Bul Nuer fighters by Matip because the Dinka would not join him.

        If you admit that Bul Nuer help Kerbino, That is why they kill him because he was doing nonsense like his uncle Akuot Atem. They get their fate. Moses Machar, Bona Malual, Abel Aliar were all under Jalaba. The real story begins with 1955 Torit Mutiny by Joseph Lagu and in Upper Nile was Utar of Anuak and Beson Kuany Latjor. All Dinka were sleeping until William Nyuon wake them up!

        When Kerubino joined Riek’s defection, he developed an intimate relationship with Paulino Matip; he married Matip’s sister, and was with Gadet when the former rebelled against Matip to join the SPLA; out of loyalty to Matip, Kerubino took on thousands of Gadet’s soldiers with only a handful of fighters and was consequently killed...

        Akuot Atem De Mayen was killed by the Nuer because he objected to their insistence on making an alliance with the Arabs, and this means that he was a fool? It means that he was a principled patriot that did not wish to become a slave — like your generals and the tens of thousands of fighters under their command.

        Before South Sudan’s secession, the Dinka were the largest tribe in all of Sudan and so Khartoum probably thought that we would stop fighting them if they positioned the likes of Moses Machar and George Kongor as 2nd Vice-Presidents - a position that did not allow them to exercise any power...

        ..The 2nd Vice-President post was entirely symbolic; it was an insincere ploy by Khartoum to convince the world into thinking that Sudan was actually pluralistic.

        The essential difference between us and you is that the Dinka didn’t have thousands of Dinka militiamen fighting for Khartoum. The only people who should feel humiliated are the Nuer; you became nothing but easily manipulated tools of the Arabs. It’s tragic because the Nuer were once great and honourable people. Those days are gone.

There is no need to died in the presidency office while, you have a people who are qualified for jobs. Also you never know what time you will be gone because some of you are in ages of 70 years Old therefore, you must let chance to other educated people to serve and relax in your home before your day arrives. President Kiir Mayardit must find someone to hand over presidency and don’t wait until?.
