JUBA (SUDANS POST) – An outspoken South Sudanese activist has said that citizens of the world’s youngest country are more divided than any other time in the country’s history under President Salva Kiir Mayardit saying President Kiir has ‘successfully’ used tribal card to plant ethnic tensions among the people of South Sudan.

This comes after local farmers in Central Equatoria state and cattle keepers clashed in Eastern Equatoria state resulting in the killing of several innocent civilians including women, elderly and children over the weekend.

In a statement, Wani Michael, an outspoken activist who has fled to exile after threats of death from members of the National Security Service (NSS), said President Salva Kiir Mayardit’s regime has divided the people of South Sudan deeply than any other time in South Sudan’s history.

The activist claimed that President Salva Kiir Mayardit has decided to arms some ethnic groups in the war-torn country against their fellow South Sudanese ethnic groups.

“Under President Kiir government, South Sudanese are more divided than never in our history. He has successfully succeeded in using the tribal card, divide and rule policy. He decides at will to arm one group against the other and pretend like his government is not involved,” he wrote on Facebook.

“Who’s arming these cattle keepers chasing farmers away from their farmland?” he asked, after cattle keepers attacked farmers in Central Equatoria state.

“What if the farmers decide to arm themselves? Someone will pull the tribal card, anyway we don’t have a government but a group of united cartels and conmen because it seems these cattle keepers are more armed and powerful than government,” he added.
