Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b>A member of parliament and senior official of the main armed opposition SPLM-IO led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny has condemned and dismissed the latest government population estimates as work of enemies of peace.<\/p>\n

In a statement seen by Sudans Post, Reath Muoch Tang who represents Upper Nile state in the peace parliament accused unnamed individuals within the government of perpetuating a \u201cdangerous scheme\u201d that could exacerbate ethnic tensions in the war-torn country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not true! No data was collected in order to make an estimate. It\u2019s purely a work of the Enemies of Peace in South Sudan,\u201d Tang said in the brief statement on his social media Facebook page.<\/p>\n

The senior official of the main armed opposition group went on to suggest that the estimates were being used as a political tool by individuals \u2013 who he didn\u2019t name \u2013 seeking to \u201ccontinue destroying the country on tribal lines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tang also criticized the government for relying on estimates made from within Juba, the country\u2019s capital, without taking necessary measures and work for population estimates.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot sit in Juba and make an estimation inside your house,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker\u2019s comments were met with both support and criticism from fellow politicians. Some praised his willingness to speak out against the government, while others accused him of promoting division and undermining the legitimacy of the population estimates.<\/p>\n

The controversy over the population estimates comes at a time of heightened tensions in South Sudan, where a civil war that began in 2013 has left tens of thousands dead and displaced millions of people.<\/p>\n

The conflict has been fueled by ethnic rivalries and power struggles within the ruling party.<\/p>\n

Observers say that accurate population estimates are crucial for the country\u2019s future, as they can help inform government policies on everything from education to health care to infrastructure development.<\/p>\n

However, critics like Tang argue that such estimates must be based on reliable data and take into account the perspectives of people from all parts of the country.<\/p>\n

The National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday released results of a 2021 population estimate survey, putting President Salva Kiir Mayardit\u2019s home state of Warrap at the helm with more than 2,639,487, a 171.47% from the 2008 population census which put Warrap at 972,928.<\/p>\n

The latest government estimates also make the president\u2019s home state greater in population than the three states of the Upper Nile region combined.<\/p>\n

Based on the 2008 population census, Jonglei was the most populous state in South Sudan with at least 1,358,602.<\/p>\n

Based on the latest government estimates, it stands at a population of 791,105 which is a 41.6% population decrease in only 13 years.<\/p>\n

Tang is not the first person to reject the latest population estimates.<\/p>\n

Jok Madut Jok, an academic and professor of anthropology, suggested that the estimates could be the work of the ruling Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM) aimed at rigging constituency demarcation and future elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s hope this South Sudan population estimates were concocted by SPLM, as an attempt to rig future constituency demarcation and elections, not the work of Bureau of Statistics!\u201d Jok said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also means that the votes of Bahr Ghazal alone can give a win to whoever can steal these votes, for both presidency and parliament! Nonsense!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Economist and pro-democracy activist Peter Biar Ajak also expressed suspicion over the population estimates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese numbers of South Sudan\u2019s population estimates released by the National Bureau of Statistics are extremely suspicious,\u201d Ajak said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe that the population of Warrap State alone is equal to that of three states of Greater Upper Nile combined,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
