Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Kiir has condemned the recent fighting in Tambura and attacks in Yambio in Western Equatoria State and urged for conflicting parties to stop.<\/p>\n

Addressing Sudan Peoples\u2019 Liberation Movement(SPLM) members during an event organized by the party youth league in Freedom Hall over the weekend, President Kiir called<\/p>\n

on those fighting in Tambura and Yambio to cease from fighting. \u201cThere are people who want fighting and up to now there is fighting in Tambura and Yambio<\/p>\n

in western Equatoria, what is the reason of fighting we do not want that\u201d Kiir reacted. He assured the masses on the government commitment in bringing peace to the country adding<\/p>\n

that government would not entertain anything that may leads to war. \u201cThe issue of war in the country will not bring any development to the nation, that is why<\/p>\n

I do not want people to go back to war\u201d he said \u201cBecause I do not want people to go back to war that is why I agreed to have five vice presidents while there is no any other country with this structure,<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not want to go back to war, I usually say it every day and I will continue to say<\/p>\n

it that we do not want to go back to war because war causes loss of lives and destruction of properties\u201d he added. He revealed that the war has many negative impacts on the people of South Sudan, that<\/p>\n

government would not encourage disputes or fighting in any way among the people. \u201cYou have seen it during our fighting with the Sudan, many people lost their lives and a<\/p>\n

lot of properties were destroyed and when we fight again many other people will be lost but it will not happen again\u201d he assured He called on the citizens to embrace peace and work toward the implementation of the Revitalized<\/p>\n

Agreement. \u201cLet us all do our things in a way that we can implement the revitalized peace agreement and bring stability to our country\u201d he appealed. He also<\/p>\n

appreciated the masses for refusing to follow the so-called Peoples\u2019 Coalition for Civil Action which was an issue last week. \u201cWhat came up last week was a big task for the people of South Sudan, where certain group<\/p>\n

of people residing in America and other countries through social media called on you to go for protest,I thank all of you that you did not hear what they<\/p>\n

said and you did not go to the road protesting\u201d Kiir said. \u201cWe are implementing the peace agreement and we do not need anything that can interfere with it\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe interim period we have been going through is what some people wanted us to be going<\/p>\n

through, interim period after interim period?When are we going to take permanent discussion of our country\u201d he added. He alsoadvised the youths to be engaged in private sector especially businesses adding<\/p>\n

that private sectors have many job opportunities compared to the government. \u201cDo not sit and wait to be employed in government offices, when I went to be Bor, I got many<\/p>\n

people engaged in various activities for example, road construction and otherswere involved in transportation of fish from Bor to Juba and even up to Uganda in<\/p>\n

order to get money.Dear members do not just sit in Juba waiting for government offices\u201d he complained. However, the Interim Acting General secretary of the SPLM peter Lam Both appreciated the<\/p>\n

president for the good move of giving women high positions in the SPLM party and in the leadership. \u201cFor the first time to appoint female speaker in South Sudan parliament,it would remain<\/p>\n

in the history\u201d Lam said. He added that it was a task of the youths to make sure that the people know what the SPLM as a party has done to the people of South Sudan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
