Machar renews calls for calm, reaffirming Kiir’s right to remove him Sudantribune.com Juba, 29/7/2013 – South Sudan former vice-president, Riek Machar on Sunday renewed calls for calm among citizens, insisting president Salva Kiir had the right to remove him from office. "It is constitutional mandate of the president to remove and form a government. This is within the powers of the president. There should be no violence", Machar told the congregation. Machar warned those who have been saying they waited for the formation of the government in order to react, saying they should instead support the president to quickly form the government and avoid a vacuum. "Who do they want to fight?" he asked, adding that his declaration to run for the party chairmanship and 2015 presidential elections have been supported by the people from all the communities in South Sudan, reminding warmongers that fighting any one would mean fighting his own supporters across the country. He said ascending to power is through peaceful and democratic processes and that is why he has been telling the army to remain neutral in such political processes in the country. Machar who vowed to concentrate his energy in the ruling SPLM party as the deputy chairman had earlier stated that he has no plans to split from the SPLM to create an independent opposition party. He further stressed that will continue to serve the people and promote democracy and multiparty democracy in the country, reiterating his determination to unseat Kiir in party and government by 2015. He told the audience that Kiir is the president of the republic for the next two years until 2015 when fresh elections will be conducted, alluding to his declared intention to run for the presidency. Machar condemned the removal of elected governors in Lakes and Unity states and distanced himself from the suspension of SPLM secretary general Pagan Amum saying that any disciplinary measures would have been addressed through the party’s institutions The SPLM deputy chairman also said he wished the president had consulted with the politburo of the ruling party on the formation of the next government.

2 statement referring to the former Vice President Dr. Riek Machar and the suspended SPLM Secretary- General Pagan Amum.

A Spokesman of the Ugandan army, Paddy Ankunda, was quoted in the Monday edition of Uganda’s Daily Monitor newspaper saying that he was aware of the arrest and that the matter is being handled by the Uganda Foreign Affairs Ministry. Meanwhile the Uganda Journalists Union (UJU) in a statement on Sunday condemned the arrests calling for the ‘‘unconditional and immediate’’ release of the journalists or producing them before court if the South Sudan authorities deem them to have committed an offence. "We condemn in the strongest terms possible the arrest and detention of the journalists in a Military establishment, moreover incommunicado,” said UJU President Lucy Anyango Ekadu.

UJoSS urges journalists to be alert of information Bakhita Radio Juba, 27/7/2013 – The Union of Journalists of South Sudan or UJoSS called upon journalists in South Sudan to be aware of the kind of information they pass to the community. UJoSS program coordinator Kidi Samuel said in an interview that journalists need to educate themselves on classified and unclassified information that can be accessed by the public. He said the cause for underdevelopment is due to limited access to right information adding that UJoSS is planning strategies to create wide public awareness to ensure that people are able to own the law. Mr Kidi stresses that without the public and the government institutions knowing the law, it will be difficult for journalists to access information in the various sectors both in the government and non- governmental organizations in the country. UJoSS is one of the bodies to protect journalists’ rights in South Sudan. (Back to Top/Headlines)

Members accuse SPLM-DC leader of supporting South Sudan rebels Gurtong.net Bor, 27/7/2013 – The Jonglei State Chairperson of Sudan People Liberation for democratic Change (SPLM-DC), Tut Chot Rial, has accused their national party chairperson of offering support to South Sudan rebels indirectly. “It was difficult for us, here so we told him that you can’t serve two masters, you cannot always face accusations and allegations if you prove that you don’t have some things that you do for those people [rebels] just come back to South Sudan and you can be treated like other South Sudanese and also as chairman of opposition party,” said the state party Chairperson Tut Cot in Bor. The chairperson said this after announcing his resignation from the party. He said that it was difficult for them to convince him as the chairperson of the opposition party to come to South Sudan and not to stay in Khartoum. He said if Lam Akol was not supporting the rebels, it means that there is something that shows the party that their chairman was supporting the rebel factions indirectly if he didn’t want to come to South Sudan. He says Lam Akol is the only person holding power in their party, looking for support from abroad. “So he can’t inform the party about his support to the rebel factions in the country,” he said. Tut who spoke to Gurtong said that their SPLM-DC Chairman, Dr. Lam Akol was supporting rebels indirectly in the country. (Back to Top/Headlines)

NGO earmarks 30 million for schools in South Sudan Catholic Radio Network, 27/7/2013 – An aid organization earmarked 30 million US dollars to help half a million children go to school in the next three years in South Sudan.

Plan said it would use 18 million dollars to address humanitarian crises cost by fighting between rebels of David Yau Yau and the SPLA together with inter-communal conflicts in Jonglei state and other humanitarian crises elsewhere in South Sudan.

Sudan confirms delay in oil line closure Agence France Press (AFP) Juba, 29/7/2013 – Sudan confirmed on Sunday that it will delay the closure of economically vital pipeline carrying South Sudanese oil. Ethiopia, which is helping to negotiate between Sudan and South Sudan, had already announced the delay on Friday. Sudan's official SUNA news agency said that the oil ministry notified petroleum companies "about the change in the date for shutting down (the) South Sudan oil pipeline from August 7-22 in response to the call of the African mediator". The decision followed a visit to Khartoum on Thursday by Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Thabo Mbeki, the African Union's top mediator between Sudan and South Sudan. Ethiopia chairs the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), an East African regional bloc. After talks with President Omar al-Bashir, Mbeki said he asked for more time so the AU can investigate allegations made by both Sudan and South Sudan that they are supporting rebels operating in each other's territory. 5

In June, Khartoum told oil companies they had 60 days to stop transporting crude from South Sudan through a Sudanese export pipeline after Bashir accused the Juba government of backing rebels in the north. But the oil was still flowing as of last week, according to a source close to the oil industry. To be done carefully without damaging the infrastructure any shutdown would need 45 days, an oil analyst has said. (Back to Top/Headlines)

Sudan extends oil flow shutdown deadline Albawaba.com, 29/7/2013 – Sudan's oil ministry has officially informed oil companies that the deadline for stopping flow of South Sudan's oil through its territories has been delayed until August 22. Sudan's oil ministry has officially informed oil companies that the deadline for stopping flow of South Sudan's oil through its territories has been delayed until August 22 in response to a request made the African Union mediator Thabo Mbeki and the Chinese government. A pipeline that transports crude oil from the south to Port Sudan (Reuters) On Thursday, the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company (GNPOC) warned that it will not accept responsibility for damages to oil facilities caused by shutting down deliveries of crude oil from South Sudan [2] by the deadline of August 7. GNPOC it needs at least 140 days to ensure safe shutdown and not the 60 days stipulated by Khartoum last June. Sudan's state's minister of oil Faisal Hammad said that the new deadline represents an opportunity for South Sudan's government to prove its ability and seriousness to implement the cooperation agreement signed between the two countries last year. Hammad added that the extension of the ultimatum was made in response to a decision by president Omer Hassan al-Bashir, pointing out that oil companies have received formal notification of the new deadline. Last week, Bashir agreed to a request made by Chinese and AU officials [3] to postpone for at least two weeks the deadline by which Sudan will shut down the pipelines [4] carrying oil from landlocked South Sudan. In September of last year, both Sudan and South Sudan signed a series of cooperation agreements, which covered oil, citizenship rights, security issues, banking, border trade among other issues. In March this year the two countries signed an implementation matrix for these cooperation agreements but in June, Bashir ordered the suspension South Sudanese petroleum exports [5] through Sudan's oil installations, accusing Juba of providing shelter and support to Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) and Sudan People Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N). Juba denies the charges and in turn claims that Khartoum is backing rebels in South Sudan's eastern Jonglei state. South Sudan responded by reducing its oil output to 160,000 barrels per day from 200,000 barrels a day. On Tuesday South Sudan's oil minister, Stephen Dhieu Dau, said that his country will complete the shutdown of its oil production by next week. Dau said Juba implored upon its northern neighbour not to follow through on its threat and warned that the pipelines risk being damaged for good thus posing a loss to Khartoum and other investors. South Sudan only restarted oil production in April after ending pumping around 300,000 barrels per day in January 2012 when the former civil war foes failed to agree on pipeline fees.

Land to die for Strategypage.com, 29/7/2013 – South Sudan’s government relies on oil exports for approximately 97 percent of its income. Sudan currently has a distribution stranglehold on South Sudan’s oil exports. Sudan has charged South Sudan exorbitant rates for the use of its pipeline system and its seaport, Port Sudan. It has also denied the use of the transport system to South Sudan. As a result, South Sudan is planning new pipelines which will run through Kenya to Kenya’s port of Lamu. Sudan has also explored other export options with Ethiopia. The government, however, is trying desperately to develop other sources of hard currency. One possibility is coffee. In April 2012 an American research team found several wild Arabica coffee plants growing in South Sudan’s Boma Plateau region (near the Ethiopia-Kenya border). Botanists and agronomists are hoping the wild plants will prove to be a genetic resource for improving hybrid domestic coffee strains. 6

The discovery brought South Sudan to the attention of the coffee world. Recently a very large international coffee company began buying coffee produced in South Sudan. South Sudan could become a leading producer of exotic coffees. However, it lacks the roads necessary to bring the product from the farms to the warehouses. The coffee company announced that it will establish a plantation near the town of Yei (Eastern Equatoria state). The plantation will be in the Imatong Mountains (Boma Plateau area). Coffee will not replace oil as South Sudan’s economic engine, but could well play a major role in developing the impoverished nation’s agricultural sector. (Austin Bay). (Back to Top/Headlines)

Amnesty to strengthen human rights work in East Africa Sudantribune.com Nairobi, 28/7/2013 – The global human rights organisation, Amnesty International has announced that it will in October this year open a regional office in the Kenyan capital Nairobi to bolster its human rights work in the East Africa region. Amnesty International said that the new office in Nairobi will enable it respond faster to human rights situations in the region. "This stronger presence will allow Amnesty International to increase significantly the impact of its human rights work by responding faster to events, bolstering research and allowing for greater collaboration with local partner organizations", the human rights group said in a statement on Friday last week. On the eve of South Sudan’s second independence anniversary celebrations, Amnesty International urged South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir "to refrain from confirming any death sentences, and to instead commute all existing death sentences in South Sudan". Recently several human rights and advocacy organisations and the United States government have voiced concern about the human rights situation in Jonglei state that has witnessed a spate of violence leading to the displacement of thousands of people. Many of them have gone without access to basics such as food and access to medication. But Amnesty International could also be setting its eye on Uganda, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In Eastern DRC, violence has displaced 66,000 refugees into Uganda in the past weeks. The M23 rebels, allegedly backed by Rwanda, have been accused by human rights organisation of grave human rights violations including illegal executions. In Uganda, as the country heads towards Presidential elections in 2016, police have been accused of battering opposition activists on the streets of Kampala and regularly detaining key opposition leaders. Local and international human rights organisations say that this intolerance of divergent views is a sign of the narrowing of the political space in Uganda. (Back to Top/Headlines)

JEM rebels launch fresh attacks on Sudanese army in South Kordofan AllAfrica.com Khartoum, 27/7/2013 – The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) attacked Sudanese military convoy outside Dalang or Dilling the second important town in South Kordofan, saying they inflected heavy losses on the army. Gibreel Adam Bilal, JEM spokesperson, told Sudan Tribune that the attack started on Saturday around 11 o'clock on the road of Dalang-Dibibad and they pursued the forces to outside of Dalang. "Our forces are now surrounding the position of the army outside the town", he added. However the Sudanese army did not issue a statement on the attack and the official of the official spokesperson was not reachable on Saturday. The rebel spokesperson added that warplanes were bombing their forces. Dalang which is at 498 km south to Khartoum, is located north to state capital Kadugli but also it is not far from White Nile state and it is linked by a tarred road with its capital Kosti.

Gibreel said they captured 11 officers and soldiers among them an intelligence captain. He also said they seized four tankers full of fuel and seven vehicles loaded with weapons and ammunition, as well as other machineguns. In a statements released later in the evening the group also said they killed some 52 Sudanese troops. JEM rebels who seemingly are now permanently established in South Kordofan say this attack is in line with their plans to attack the capital. "This attacks aims to weaken the lines of the army forces deployed in the road towards the capital Khartoum", said Gibreel. JEM rebels on 2 July had already attempted to attack the town but the Sudanese army repulsed the attack. The rebel coalition of the Sudanese Revolutionary Front say they want to topple the regime and adopted a plane aiming to control main cities in the country before to head towards the capital.

Al Bashir working on a major initiative for Sudan’s Problems: FVP Sudan Vision Daily Khartoum, 27/7/2013 – The Sudanese First Vice President Ali Osman Muhammad Taha announced today that president Omer Hassan Al Bashir has embarked on formulating a comprehensive and effective vision which aims at arriving to radical solutions for Sudan’s political problems particularly the conflict in Darfur. Taha, who witnessed along with the Head of Darfur regional Authority (DRA) Al-Tijani Al-Sisi the signing ceremony of the peace pact between Rezeigat Aballa and Bani Hussein tribes in North Darfur capital of Al-Fasher yesterday, congratulated the signatories and announced the presidency’s endorsement of the peace deal. Inter-tribal clashes erupted last January between members of the rival Arab tribes who were fighting for control of the region’s gold mines. The deal called for setting up a compensation fund from the gold revenues of Jebel Amer. 65% of the money shall be allocated for Diyas (blood money), 25% for rehabilitating localities which were adversely impacted by the conflict including Al-Seraif locality, and 10% for insurance and administrative expenses. Taha underscored the government’s commitment to the spirit and provisions of the pact as well as asserting the authority of the state and rule of law. He called upon cultural, social, women, and political institutions to work towards ending war and engaging in developing programs which promote peace and stability. He further sent a message to all Darfuris, particularly youths asking them to preserve their efforts to fight the enemies of Sudan instead of fighting each other. He expressed hope that this peace deal would contribute to lifting Darfur from its misery, ending conflicts and restoring the social fabric. The head of the DRA, Tijani Al-Sissi, for his part, called for enforcing state authority in all Darfur states by strengthening the army, police and security forces. Al-Sisi said that the absence of the state has led to the emergence and escalation of violence and conflicts in the region. He stressed the DRA support for the peace deal to preserve blood of the Darfuris, calling for applying deterrent rules against those who violate the truce this time around. The Darfur official called upon all Darfuris to rethink the consequences of conflicts which claimed lives of women and children and destroyed properties and farms, saying “I hope that history wouldn’t record that we [Darfuris] have destroyed our region”. He went on to ask Darfuris to exercise self-criticism and to answer the question: Why are they fighting? Pointing that every war has local and international lords, Al-Sisi sent a message to the intellectuals of Darfur asking them to support their people and not to use their tragedy and blood for achieving

8 personal interests, pointing that the DRA will hold six conferences regarding lands, pastures, dispute identification mechanisms and intellectuals. Tribal clashes have recently mounted in Sudan’s Darfur region. Over 40 people were killed and about 45 others injured in clashes between Al-Salamat and Misseriya tribes in Central Darfur state last June. Despite numerous truces signed by the tribes fighting kept being re-ignited adding to the instability of the already restive region. (Back to Top/Headlines)

Egyptian envoy meets Museveni over AU veto The New Nation Newspaper Kampala, 29/7/2013 – A special envoy of Egyptian interim President Adly Mansou has held talks with President Yoweri Museveni over the recent African Union’s (AU) decision to suspend Egypt from its activities until the restoration of constitutional order. The Council said the way Mohamed Morsi was removed from power by Adly Mansou’s people “falls under the definition of an unconstitutional change of government,” and that Egypt would be suspended until the restoration of constitutional order. Addressing journalists at the Media Centre in Kampala on Friday, ambassador Mona Omar who jetted in on Thursday and proceeded to meet the president at State House Entebbe, hailed Museveni for his wise leadership and opposition to the move taken by Africa’s Peace and Security Council on 5 July to sideline Egypt from AU’s activities. “I salute President Museveni for his wise leadership not only here in Uganda but also in Africa as a whole,” Mona said, before adding: “We’re grateful to him for standing by the Egyptian people to oppose the suspension which we think was based on conventions that do not apply in Egypt’s case.” Mona described the talks at Entebbe as “wonderful and fruitful” and said she was pleased that the President even knew more about the real situation on the ground in Egypt than the envoy herself. “We think he will use his well-established contacts with fellow African leaders to create awareness of what really transpired and is unfolding now in the country. What happened in Egypt was not a coup d’état but a social and economic uprising by the angry masses and the military just came in to protect us from Morsi’s monsters,” she said. Mona who was accompanied by the country’s director of Nile Basin countries affairs, Mohamed El- Hamza and the public relations officer at Uganda’s foreign ministry, Elly Kamahungye, also said she updated President Museveni on the progress being made following the 3 July roadmap. “This roadmap stipulates a constitutional declaration with timelines governing a constitutional referendum and elections, and forming a government of national competencies,” she added. The diplomat said on Monday she met with the African Union Commission Chairperson, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini- Zuma in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and agreed that the AU high-level panel would be travelling to Egypt tomorrow to meet with all the Egyptian stakeholders and brief the Security Council on its mission at the end of the month. “We also agreed that any need for further AU engagement with the interim Egyptian authorities would be decided after the report of the Panel is handed to the Security Council,” she told journalists. The Panel on Egypt, she said, consists of ex- leaders of Mali Oumar Konaré; Botswana’s Festus Gontebanye Mogae and former Djibouti premier Mohamed Dileita. Mona is touring East Africa and has already met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn as part of a tour to inform African leaders about the political situation in Egypt. Meanwhile, the Ugandan government has assured Ugandans that the 400 students still in Egypt are safe and doing well following the uprising. “These students who are still in Egypt are all safe and there is no cause for alarm,” Kamahungye said at the same conference.

Ugandan President has a deadly hand in South Sudan’s political crisis South Sudan News Agency Kampala, 27/7/2013 – I closely monitor South Sudan’s security, political, and economic developments because it was a big part of my job as a former insider who worked for one of Uganda’s most secret organizations. After I left my former employer here in Kampala, I have been experiencing constant change brought about by the past actions that I carried out against the wills of my brothers and sisters in South Sudan. I have sensitive documents that will show to the world that my president, Museveni, has South Sudanese blood on his hands and he is protecting billions of dollars for both relatives and operatives of the South Sudanese president, including secret deals that were signed between the two presidents. The Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has gained unwanted attention in the political stadium of the Republic of South Sudan. Museveni, son of a cattle-keeper, was born in south-western Uganda. The president of Uganda rules our nation with an iron fist and has recently managed to lend his niggling leadership ideology to President Salva Kiir of South Sudan. The relationship between Kiir of South Sudan and Museveni of Uganda has reached an unparalleled level: the two men talk at least once a day; earning them the nickname “The East African Lions,” a name only known to their trusted insiders (I was one of the Ugandan insiders). But what I am concerned about is whether or not Salva Kiir knows he is dealing with an experienced dictator who can manipulate and slay with a smile on his face. Maybe the South Sudanese leader likes the way my president is running his country because he may have been influenced by Museveni’s success in ruling Uganda for more than twenty seven years. The current political crisis in South Sudan started with a five-member team secretly handpicked by the South Sudanese president in October 2011. The men were not well-known to South Sudan, let alone the political leaders of South Sudan. All the team members were called “presidential private secretaries.” They were told to do exactly what the president of South Sudan wanted them to do because “the risks were high.” Then, in late October of the same year, the leader of the so-called “presidential private secretaries” on South Sudanese side was told by President Kiir to prepare for a serious meeting with an unidentified contact, a Ugandan by nationality. During the discussion, Kiir went into details describing the plan as the “big project” that must be managed behind the scene, no matter what it takes. In the first week of November 2011, the meeting took place in an office located north-west of the State House of the Republic of Uganda. The meeting involved two Ugandan security agents and the five men selected by Kiir. A similar plan developed by South Sudan’s president to use Ethiopia as a secret location to deal with peripheral threats was also initiated. Nevertheless, the request was denied by the former Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, citing an aversion. The idea almost cripples the bi- lateral relationship between Juba and Addis Ababa but the relationship of the two countries was later normalized after Kiir agreed not to repeat such a controversial request ever again. This is just a foretaste of Museveni’s long evil act against the freedom of the people of South Sudan. Museveni’s involvement in dirty political tricks is not new; the man has been caught red-handed before by the United Nations (UN) investigation commission, which was mandated by the UN Security Council to investigate his link with a Congolese rebel movement, the M23. The UN found that Museveni supported the rebels through his brother called General Salim Saleh, who is best known in Uganda as a “scandal-prone sibling.” The evidences provided by the United Nations (UN) showed that Museveni provided financial, military, and intelligence support to the ruthless, eastern rebel movement. Museveni’s interest in toppling a foreign government has been described as a “fantasy” by both his rivals and critics. As a former insider, I know that the ‘Juba-Kampala plan’ helped Kiir in some areas of his political wishes, but the plan itself caused many problems in South Sudan, for example, it is inciting tribalism and threatening the new nation to collapse. The president of Uganda is already a suspicious man in South Sudan. In July 2005, South Sudanese charismatic leader, Dr. John Garang, died in a mysterious Ugandan presidential helicopter crash. Many South Sudanese also suspected that George Athor, a former rebel leader fighting against Kiir’s regime, was not killed in South Sudan as the Juba alleged. Instead, they believe that Athor was killed in

10

Kampala by Juba’s agents who were accommodated by Museveni’s private security branch. They then transported his body to South Sudan to stage the act. Museveni is known in the international arena as a staunch supporter of South Sudan. In the past, he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Khartoum’s treatment of the South Sudanese. But his unwavering support of South Sudan should not be taken as a sign of good friendship between the two countries. Here in Kampala alone, South Sudanese who have links with Juba’s regime have bought houses worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Some of the people who bought houses are ordinary people who have no jobs, but received huge financial support from Juba through Museveni’s close aids. I have documents of financial agreements, land donation, network of underground corruption, and expensive properties owned by President Kiir and some of the people in his inner circle. I am prepared to expose documents that will directly link Museveni to the grim crisis that is now brewing in the Republic of South Sudan. The South Sudanese are not Ugandans South Sudan has over 63 different tribes who speak different languages. These people are known for their diversity, hardwork, courage, hospitality, and many other unique cultural norms. The idea that a plan created by a Ugandan dictator can succeed in South Sudan is absurd. Yoweri Museveni must first study the people of South Sudan, and only then can he be sure of what to do. The South Sudanese are brave people and are afraid of no man. Therefore, dictator Museveni, who established himself as the teacher of a Kiir in Africa’s newest nation, must be exposed. President Museveni recently sent Uganda’s soldiers into South Sudan to help Kiir deal with the ongoing political crisis. These army personals are now in Juba assemble in north-western side of Juba, some 57 Km away from Juba. The other division is stationed in South of Juba, a distance of about 81 Km. South Sudan National intelligence Agency must check out these locations to verify these evidences. Believe me; you will be stunned when you reach in those locations. The international community and South Sudanese must know that the Ugandan president is the one who gave all these ill-guidance to Kiir and he is now assisting him with covert military assistance intended to kill anyone who oppose Kiir’s leadership. South Sudan national army, SPLA, must be vigilance about Ugandans who are no living in South Sudan. The world, and the South Sudan in particular, must know that the Ugandan president is not an expert in any good governance; he is only an expert in dictatorship. I want the good people of South Sudan to understand that Museveni is an experienced killer here in Uganda, and you must tell him to stay out of your home dealings or else your nation will be another Somalia in our beloved Africa. The people of Uganda are your brothers and sisters; please do not see us in the image of our long-time dictator, Museveni.

Whimsical decision making and dysfunctional political party Sudantribune.com, 27/7/2013 – I was never a fan of late Dr. John Garang but, on principle, I admired one quality in him: extensive reading and autodidactic attitude. Comfortingly enough, he read and referenced issues and facts he postulated and argued for or about. This is a quality, among other things, officials in Juba should adopt. SPLM and the GOSS should also know that any institution is governed by behavioural and information decimation protocols. People should not talk anyhow…or because they ‘feel’ it’s right. It might feel right but facts might go contrary to that feel-good-ness. Face value application (or violation) of the constitution and out of context utterance of statements such as ‘it’s a normal democratic process’ don’t do justice to the already jittery nation. We still have an unconstitutional governor in Lake State and the president knows that’s a clear violation of the constitution’s sixty day (60) requirement. was removed unconstitutionally because we know there is no crisis in Unity State. What the president and South Sudanese need to realize is that section (101r) doesn’t only say there just has to be a crisis in the state. The crisis has to be one threatening ‘national security and territorial

11

Integrity’. If the crisis is not threatening national security then citing such a crisis becomes unconstitutional. Jonglei State is the state whose crisis is threatening national security and territorial integrity but the governor is still there. The president’s actions are just whimsical rather than constitutional! The onus in on the president to therefore explain how the ‘crisis’, if any, in the Lake State or Unity State, threaten our ‘national security and territorial integrity’. In essence, the president is ruling a nation of people not nation of cows. People need to know. Abdon Agau, the government secretary general told the media that president Kiir can fire the cabinet with giving any reasons; arguing that it’s his ‘constitution right’ not to give explanations! What? It’s supposed to be a ‘national constitution’ not ‘whimsical presidential constitution.’ Mr. President should know that he’s a servant of South Sudanese not their boss. He’s only the boss of his cabinet; not South Sudanese. Ideally, the president has to justify his actions to the South Sudanese people because his decisions directly affect the average citizen. Make no mistake, president Kiir should account to US as South Sudan. We employed him not the other way round. Officials like the always-in-your-face Marial Benjamin (while I know he has improved lately) have the knack of talking without checking their facts. This is indeed scary for South Sudan’s future. Besides, both the SPLM and the government of South Sudan don’t adhere to functionality protocols. This is the source of the problem within SPLM. There’s nothing ‘democratic’ about firing a cabinet. Just because something is constitutional doesn’t mean it’s democratic. Actions of individuals can’t be called democratic even if they are clearly constitutional. Constitutional actions are necessary undemocratic decisions within a democracy. Not all decisions within a democracy are democratic. This is the culture of talking anyhow. Both Pagan Amum and Riek Machar should know that belonging to an organization requires adhering to organizational protocols and internal avenues of problem solving. Disagreements within a political party are normal; however, these disagreements should be solved behind closed doors. If you can’t solve internal issues behind closed doors then maybe belonging to one political party isn’t such a good idea. Publicly criticizing your own political party and the president as a senior party official is wrong…it doesn’t happen anywhere in the world. And how naïve would someone criticize the boss, tells the boss ‘I want your job’ and expects the boss to say ‘go ahead, take my job…you are a great man!’ I don’t know which world Riek Machar is living in. What he’s saying regarding the country is admittedly the general truth; that the country is off the cliff and something has to change to salvage it, however, this doesn’t mean entering into the culture of ‘care-free-ness.’ An able leader would seek helpful ways of solving problems. You don’t get to criticize your boss, an uncritical boss for that matter, and get to keep your job. What were you smoking, Mr. Machar? Ambition intoxication? In the end, the president needs to justify his actions, follow the constitution and let his officials know that talking to the media should be bound by party or government protocols; and that facts have to be researched and appropriately referenced for the government to have some respect in the eyes of South Sudan.

South Sudan president in action Sudantribune.com, 28/7/2013 – For over the years, the government of South Sudan is dogged with corruption, incompetence, and insubordination. The transitional constitution of South Sudan confers onto the president swiping powers to arrest and fire any officials at will. For all this time, the president is accused of indecisiveness and for lack of actions against the corrupt and incompetent officials. However, of a recent, the president takes public imagination by storm. He acted to the delight of the citizenry. He started by retiring corrupt and redundant high military officials. And then he summarily dismissed two powerful members of cabinets for corruption allegations. The minister of finance, Kosti Manibe and minister of cabinet affairs, Deng Alor are implicated in corruption and will likely be prosecuted, according to the president. Even more daring, the president fired all the ministers, their 12 deputies, the vice president, and the secretary general of the ruling party, the SPLM, to rid of corruption, incompetence and insubordination. It has been almost a week now since the president took that daring move. Most of the public were feed on rumors that the country will explode and dissent into chaos, but truthfully, it never deed. The sources of the rumors include the vice President, the SPLM Secretary General, and those ministers who will never regain their positions after the formation of the new government. The vice president was a hostile partner to the president and he was in subordinating, even to the point of sabotaging the president’s actions. Therefore, he must go as the members of the public agree. The SPLM Secretary General proved his incompetence and perhaps corrupt actions. He is awaiting investigation for corruption. Those ministers who will not make back to the government will be the very one to blame the same government they served, but now they are not in, they feel they can blame the very system that they corrupted. They must all be investigated and charge, even need to be. Now the members of the public are waiting for the formation of the new government and that must usher in change and change for the better. For all the struggle and suffering, the president must make a better choice for the vice president, a person who exhort the core of SPLM/A through his or her life and be ready to deliver for years to come. The cabinet members must share the same traits. Otherwise, the moment has come. (Back to Top/Headlines) Steve Paterno is the author of The Rev. Fr.

Why all eyes are on South Sudan? South Sudan News Agency Juba, 28/7/2013 – It was long feared that an independent South Sudan would become ungovernable, that’s why all eyes were quick to converge on the country the moment it came face to face with its first ever post-independence political fall off amongst its ruling elites. Aware of this, the politicians and the laity alike did well to handle this historical incidence with much maturity and sense of national responsibility while they intellectualize their ways through the multitude of man-made political hurdle. We can give ourselves credit here, for the way we all behaved in the face of our first ever test as an independent country. There could still have been a better way of tackling the political question that emanated from the ruling SPLM’s internal power struggle, they say. Well, Kiir saw otherwise. Just to remind ourselves, it’s time we clearly understand that South Sudan is no longer the world’s darling child that it used to be two years ago. And it has long run out of favors it used to get particularly so in the eyes of the western countries. At the same time the world is also keenly noting the new trend in which our leadership in Juba is no more focused on the national question of peace, security, prosperity and freedom for all. The promise that the leadership gave on the eve of the country’s independence way back on the 9th, January 2011, are more or less becoming things of the past. So what exactly went wrong? Unfortunately many things have changed over the last two years, and believe you me, the love of power for the sake of it, have slowly taken over. Whatever sleepless nights our politicians in Juba are currently experiencing, is no longer about services to the public. Nor are they about guaranteeing their subjects security. Their nights have been taken over by the uncertainties of the new political game of ‘power struggle’ between the comrades. The struggle in the corridors of power in Juba is now solely about how to maintain a comfortable milking position within this system where leaders milk directly into their mouths. And while the country awaits a new government, the new trend of seeking self-interest before the national interest has in fact taken root so deep so that nobody ever sees anything else. Many more elected governors will continue to be sacked by the president whenever he sees it fit. And we are told that he need not give anyone any reasons for his actions. This is democracy the Kiir’s way. Should anyone disagree, then they are likely to be labeled as unpatriotic instigators.

13

One other issue of concern is the tendency by the incumbent president to selectively apply articles of the constitution only to suit his personal interests. A good example is the firing of elected governors and not going the extra mile to organize by-elections as stipulated in the constitution. This one undoubtedly has become his favorite. In the recent political somersault the president has not only proven himself as an individual with tremendously unlimited powers, but he too made it bluntly clear that he is indeed above the law. This leaves the majority of the SPLM politicians with only few options to observe. To others it simply means: “you better know who butters your bread”. This is the ‘politics of the belly’. Things don’t stop there. Everyone one is now eyeing every other’s chair. And it undoubtedly goes to explain the current queue at the state house where power hungry politicians are willingly doing everything in exchange for a seat in the new cabinet. What does it say to the outside observers, when power hungry politicians, mostly veteran SPLM former comrades are being played one against the other? Funny though no less than four of them were all promised the one single position of vice president at one point in the current power game. Why doesn’t the president show any respect for these gentlemen who are community elders in their own rights? The much publicized meeting the president had with the representatives of the various South Sudanese political parties, is in the real sense of it, no more than a last minute move meant exclusively to mislead the international community into believing that president Kiir is doing all that he can to be both consultative and inclusive. This is the essence of the show. On the one hand the bravado shown by Dr. Elia Lomuro of the SSDF, who took upon himself the task of speaking to the media on behalf of the 17 or so political parties, was to its best a set piece. He was doing more or less what Dr. Barnaba Benjamin did before him when the latter continued to volunteer as the president’s mouth peace even when out of the government. Dr. Marial Benjamin, who was sure of making it back into the cabinet, was seen and heard explaining the constitutionality of the president’s move in sacking the entire cabinet, long after the government was dissolved. Who can now doubt that his voluntary work has not only rewarded him with the lucrative portfolio of Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations, but he has also become the first minister to be appointed in this extraordinary cabinet. With Dr. Marial Barnaba now back in government, only a thick headed individual will fail to figure out what the new era is set to look like. They have long said that, “The content of a letter is known from its address”. Didn’t they? No one should have any problem with what Dr. Barnaba Benjamin can and cannot do in the new cabinet of South Sudan. And since we are being constantly reminded that president Kiir will officially remain to be the most power individual in the country until 9th January 2015, when the country will go for its first ever general elections, it will be better to leave everything for that day. However during his remaining tenure in office, we the citizens of South Sudan expect him to abide by the letter and the spirit of each and every article in the country’s constitution. Many of us have their reservations about this transitional constitution right about how it was conceived to how it was finally adopted into law. But since it has become the country’s law we will not tolerate anyone abusing it, even if they were the one who wrote it word by word. Do we need to remind ourselves that it is the Lakes State and The Jonglei State which need the president’s immediate attention even if he is finding difficult to quickly form his new government. The situation in the former may seem to be flattering down, after the initial escalation by the overdue military governor. In Jonglei unfortunately the situation has further deteriorated to warrant an international involvement, now in the form of humanitarian assistances, but could at any time open the door for wider foreign interventions of the all-out type.

14

Talking about removing elected governors, maybe Jonglei is the right place for such a drill. However any intervention here must be well balanced and never prejudiced, for otherwise a further heavy handedly policy may drag the new country to join the list of the country’s that condone genocides. The author would also like to remind fellow South Sudanese that while governments come and go, our destiny as one people is likely to remain together for a long time to come. It’s for this reason that those who join the new cabinet should remember that it’s not for the prestige of the job, but rather for the welfare of this fast sinking country. As for brothers and sisters who are now on each another’s necks because of power, it's my hope that they sober up to see that they have nearly been ten years in service. Be it the president himself or any of his colleagues who have served alongside him since 2005, it may be time they consider stepping down when they can still leave the throne peacefully and dignified. Your graphs of performance are beginning to go down, and if anything, you are already running out of creativity and ideas. It could be time to quit.

The Sudan Tribune and whoever posted an article on the quoting of the wrong articles of the Presidential decrees South Sudan News Agency, 29/7/2013 – I am reacting to the article published by the online newspaper (Sudan tribune today) alleging that the President of the Republic of South Sudan quoted wrong articles of the Transitional Constitution in removing his Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, dissolving his cabinet and suspending the SPLM Secretary General Pagan Amum. The allegations are that articles, 104 (2), 105 (2) and article 112 (1) are not the correct articles to be quoted in the removable of the Vice President, dissolution of the cabinet and relieving the ministers respectively. Contrary to what this group/author thinks, my opinion is that the author of that article does not have the correct version of the Transitional Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan 2011. If he/she indeed has, then, the President and his advisers have not by law erred in quoting such articles for that particular purposes, instead, the one who is trying to make the corrections is indeed the person quoting the wrong articles of the Transitional Constitution for instance, what they quoted to be under article 104 (2) as and I quote “Any person aggrieved by an act of the president may contest such act before: (a) the Supreme Court, if the alleged act involves a violation of this Constitution, a state constitution, the Bill of Rights, or the decentralized system of government; or (b) any other competent court of law, if the allegation is based on any other legal grounds” is under article (116) of the Transitional Constitution 2011 and the right provisions of article 104 (2) under the title of Appointment and Removal of the Vice President are that and I quote “ the vice president may be removed by the president or by a decision passed by a two- third majority of all members of the National Legislative Assembly. If the post of the vice president falls vacant for any reason, the president shall appoint a replacement”. Given the provisions of this article, it is also advisable to say here that, the misinterpretation of the article 104 (2) of the Transitional Constitution by some laymen that the president does not have powers to remove the vice president without the approval of the National Legislative Assembly is pedestrian because in strict legal interpretation of the Constitution, the words “ or” and “Subject to” have different connotations and this mean, the words that the vice president can be removed by the president “or” by a two-third majority of the members of the National Legislative Assembly means whichever is earlier and not that each is prerequisite of another and therefore, in the strictest legal language, the president can remove the vice president without the consent of the National Legislative Assembly. However, if the word was “subject to” approval by National Legislative Assembly instead of “or”, then the president won’t have the powers to remove the Vice President without such consent. So the interpretation is as plain as that. Nevertheless, the bottom-line as per the legal parameters are that, the recent Presidential decrees are legitimate, their political implications notwithstanding. It is therefore, advisable for media outlets to play a very crucial role in giving accurate information in this ensuing political crisis in order to evade the situation from escalating further. Misinterpretation of any single article of the Transitional Constitution is likely to amount to defilement of the constitution as the law of the land and this would also amount to misinforming the public about the looming County’s affairs. 15

Furthermore, the author of that article also in his/her pursuit of correcting the presidential decrees said and I quote “ article 112 (1) state that "Deliberations of the National Council of Ministers shall be confidential; no Minister shall disclose, communicate or reveal such deliberations save by permission of the Council of Ministers". Of which this provision is found under article 111 of the Transitional Constitution of South Sudan 2011 under the heading of confidentiality of the deliberations of the council of ministers. The true provisions of article 112 (1) are that and I quote “ministers of the national government shall be appointed and removed from office by the president”. In conclusion, I wish to say that Sudan tribune is a highly read online newspaper and its management must check to correct this information and confirm their authenticity of any information before they reach the public domain. Any misinformation at this point in time of our country’s political tussles is tantamount to anarchy, so it is high time that both in the public and private sector exercise maximum restraint and professionalism to steer our country toward a united, peaceful and prosperous destiny.
