Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan government has condemned what it calls outside influence in the country for mobilizing and paying citizens to take to the streets against the government of President Salva Kiir Mayardit urging the protest organizers to donate the money they gained from the \u2018outsiders\u2019 to the suffering citizens.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Voice of America\u2019s South Sudan in Focus, information minister and government spokesman Michael Makuei Lueth said protests that call for the resignation of the government are not always peaceful and therefore the government must work to prevent such protests from taking place.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny demonstration calling for the system to go, is not a peaceful demonstration if you go to the street today and you demand that I must go, if you say that I must go and I don\u2019t go what will you do?\u201d Makuei said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course you will go to violence and if you go to violence we will not tolerate that. So, the best thing is that prevention is better than cure and as such we prevented it to have a peaceful South Sudan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The senior government official further urged the organizers of the now failed protests to wait for elections if they intention to ascend to power and then accused external powers of funding the demonstrations and urged the protest organizers to donate the money they gained from outsiders to the people of South Sudan.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody who wants power should wait until that time when elections are run and if he contest and pass, then he take the seat and this means the peaceful transfer of power. These imported ideals are the cause of the problem because even those who talks of the government not implementing the agreement are not genuine and if you call them today and ask them where the government went wrong they will not answer you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are just people who are being moved by outsiders and being told to do so, if you have taken any money so please help and have your country at heart,\u201d the senior government official further alleged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
