Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s Minister of General Education and Instruction Awut Deng Achuil has expressed anger after social media users circulated a video clip in which President Salva Kiir Mayardit appeared to be in uncomfortable situation during the inauguration of the first phase of the Juba-Bahr el Ghazal highway.<\/p>\n

Kiir in the 39-second video clip appeared to be wetting on himself as the national anthem was being played during the inauguration of the highway linking the capital to the Bahr el Ghazal region and oil-rich Unity State.<\/p>\n

The unidentified journalist who captured the president\u2019s uncomfortable moment immediately turned the camera away.<\/p>\n

Two days later, the clip circulated on social media sparking controversy between those in solidarity with the president and those lamenting him for remaining in power despite the deteriorating health conditions.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Awut said she is appealed by the video clip and described those who shared the video online as \u2018enemies\u2019 of the world\u2019s youngest country and said she adds her voice to those already condemning the circulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am profoundly appalled to come across a video clip showing our President in an uncharacteristic situation shared by some social media users. The President was inaugurating a road project,\u201d the minister said in the strong-worded statement seen by Sudans Post reads in part.<\/p>\n

\u201cI consider the people who share this material as enemies of South Sudan. Depicting the President in this manner is unacceptable, improper and deplorable. And as a citizen of this country, I would like to add my voice to all the countless South Sudanese patriots inside the country and in the diaspora to condemn this action in the strongest possible terms,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Awut stressed that Kiir \u201cis not only the Head of State; he\u2019s also a symbol of our country. Portraying him in an insulting manner is not humiliating him, but abusing oneself and demeaning to our country and our flag!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur President is a hero and a freedom fighter who dedicated most of his life to the struggle for this country and its people. As a widow who lost my husband and many of our comrades and leaders in the struggle, I would not accept insulting our President. We must respect our President, heroes, heroines, leaders and revolutionaries,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
