JUBA – South Sudan’s minister of defense Angelina Teny has said that absence of democratic mechanisms and a permanent constitution in the world’s youngest country led to evolution of the political situation between President Salva Kiir and Dr. Riek Machar Teny into tribal conflict.

Kiir and Machar fallout in December 2013 following a national convention of the ruling party that had sparked clashes among the SPLA, then national army, leading to mutinies and later on a deadly civil war mostly fought along ethnic lines.

Speaking during an interview with the Juba-based Arabic Al Watan Newspaper, Angelina Teny said the dispute between President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his first deputy Dr. Riek Machar Teny was political and turned into tribal conflict because of absence of constitution and democratic mechanisms.

“The dispute that existed between the president and the first vice-president is not tribal,” Teny said the interview.

“However  the absence of mechanisms of democracy and a constitution that fulfills the aspirations of the people of South Sudan and their views on political differences led to a tribal dispute,” she added.

    Does the prostitute knows what democracy is? I doubt it. His former husband, a fake so-called PhD doctor, Mr. Riek Machar, had been used by foreign powers as their puppets/stooges to always play games with games with the South Sudan and the South Sudanese people.
