Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan government has told the People\u2019s Coalition for Civil Action (PCCA) which it categorized as an \u2018unknown group\u2019 to wait for the general election slated for the end of the transitional period.<\/p>\n

This comes following days of chaotic deployment of security forces by the government in various cities of the country to prepare for the National Awakening Day in which activists sought to mobilize people to take to the street to demand resignation of Kiir\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) in Juba on Sunday evening, information minister and government spokesman Michael Makuei Lueth described the PCCA as a group of unknown people mobilizing the citizens to go to the streets from hiding.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you have been following all these time, there has been a lot of talk on social media by unknown people, by people who have decided to mislead the public by believing that it is only through demonstration in the streets that they can go to the seat of power,\u201d Makuei said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPower is not got by force, but through the ballot and not through violence. Anybody who wants power should wait; be patient for election is around the corner,\u201d the senior government official added.<\/p>\n

He further added: \u201c\u2026people will vote for you. And if you win, then you will be most welcome to takeover. Transfer of power is not by force; it is not through violence but it is through the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
