Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>An outspoken exiled South Sudanese activist and critic on Saturday said President Salva Kiir Mayardit is so \u201ctired and exhausted\u201d and is hard for him to run for public office, something he says require trips to all the country\u2019s ten states and the three administrative areas.<\/p>\n

Wani Michael who resigned last year as representative of the young people to the National Constitutional Amendment Committee (NCAC) over what he calls intentional delays in the implementation of the revitalized peace agreement said Kiir is tired and exhausted.<\/p>\n

\u201cAm just here wondering how can a tired and exhausted President Kiir manage to run for so demanding Presidential election that requires him to transverse the whole Country. He\u2019s completely and exclusively tired and exhausted,\u201d the activist wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

It remains yet clear if Kiir will run again as the SPLM flag bearer in the would-be general elections slated for end of the transitional period, but the president in September last year hinted at stepping out of politics to make room for young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we go for elections, new faces will come in, not from the people who are working in the government now, but people you haven\u2019t seen before and that way we will have peace in our country,\u201d he told a SPLM Youth League function in Juba at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom now, you prepare yourselves to engage with the grassroots, so that they know the program of the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement,\u201d Kiir added.<\/p>\n

His hint at bowing from the political stage came amidst then growing agitation in Juba and other towns and cities across the country about unfulfilled promises made during the country\u2019s fight for independence.<\/p>\n

At the time, the civil rights movement, People\u2019s Coalition for Civil Action (PCCA), called on disgruntled South Sudanese to take to the streets demanding Kiir\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n
