Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A prominent critic of South Sudan government is appealing to President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his first deputy Dr. Riek Machar Teny to resign from power to rescue the world\u2019s youngest country from what the activist calls a \u2018total collapse.\u2019<\/p>\n

In a statement, exiled activist Wani Michael who is outside the country says South Sudan is at the verge of collapse and senior South Sudan liberators are nowhere to be seen in order to advise their comrades, Kiir and Machar, to resign so as to rescue the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Country is just at its total collapse, the senior liberators are nowhere to be seen to ask their comrades to just do the honorable thing to resign and go home. We must rescue our Country from total collapse,\u201d he wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

On July 13, five holdout opposition groups, Real-SPLM, NAS, SSUF, NDM-PF, UDRM, and SSNMC issued a statement rejecting any extension of the transitional period and called for the regional communities including the IGAD which mediated the revitalized peace agreement in 2018 to support them in their call for a technocratic government.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is incumbent upon all the stakeholders in the country, from the political organizations, civil society, faith-based organizations, women, and youth groups to collectively reject the extension of the period of R-TGONU and decide the future of the country to avoid its collapse into chaos and disintegration,\u201d they said in the statement a copy of which was obtained by Sudans Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe the Non-Signatory South Sudan Opposition Parties, who rejected the R-ARCSS, and now driven by the noble goal to rescue our state and our nation from collapse and disintegration, call on all south Sudanese political forces and all the other South Sudanese stakeholders from civil society, faith based, women and youth organizations to forge a way forward, formalizing the current discussion and to build consensus which will lead to the establishment of a New transition with a government of Technocrats\/Hybrid government, as the R-TGONU Transitional Period comes to an end by February 2023,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n
