Dispute emerges within ITGONU as Kiir sidelines Taban in states gov’t formation

Taban-allied official says vice-president is furious “because the recent appointments in the states violate the revitalized peace agreement as the SPLM-IG is taking all positions allocated to other parties within the former ITGONU.”

JUBA – A sharp dispute has emerged between two main parties of the former ITGONU led by President Salva Kiir Mayardit and Vice-President Taban Deng Gai over appointment of states governments in which the SPLM-IO (TB) led by Taban was sidelined.

Speaking to Sudans Post in an interview this evening, one senior member of the Taban-led faction said the vice-president  has this afternoon spoke with the president to raise several issues including the appointment of the states government officials in which the vice-president’s group was not represented.

“H.E the Vice-President of the Republic of South Sudan General Taban Deng Gai is not about about it,” the official said of the appointments. “This is a violation of the revitalized peace agreement because the 55% are for all the parties of the ITGONU, not the SPLM alone.”

The senior government official said there are also ongoing efforts from the SPLM-IG to take all the seats of those officials allied to vice-president Taban and who were appointed to the transitional parliament in 2016, saying this has angered the Vice-president and senior members of the government allied to him.

”The appointment of the states governments is one thing. The other thing is that the SPLM-IG under Kiir is refusing to reappoint MPs allied to General Taban again to the national Parliament and this is really a shock and a disappointment,” the official added.

”So, we are going to petition the president and we will see if this continued violation of the revitalized is here to live or die,” the official who strongly requested to be named said.

The latest disagreement comes after a few months when Sudans Post first reported that vice-president Taban Deng Gai was asking for about 20% share of state government positions.

This suggestion by Taban to take allied of percentage led to disagreements between Kiir and Taban.

“We won’t accept any thing like this because those appointments in the states violate the revitalized peace agreement as the SPLM-IG is taking all positions allocated to other parties within the former ITGONU,” the official further concluded.

    “Dispute emerges within ITGONU as Kiir sidelines Taban in states gov’t formation”

    South Sudanese with brains know all these ‘abi nyop (we would roast it), say Mounyjaangs/Jaangs/Dinkas/Jenges; abi bul (we would roast it), say our Nuers ke nyantoc. When the whole damn (nyop/bul—-roasting), means the damn same thing.

    And that was why, South Sudanese with brains were telling these empty headed fools, thieves and foreign puppets/stooges. Elections of politicians is the way it is done. But our Nuers ke nyantoc, Shilluks/Chollos and some of their creeps with their fake PhD doctors, foreign puppets/stooges, traitors and thieves of Mr. Riek Machar, Lam Akol, Aduok Nyabe and their *secret societies* of Mr. Majak Agoot, Pagan Amuom, Thomas Cirillo, Rebecca Nyandeng and her ugly son.

    Thought, they can just photocopy the rubbish that was in Kenya in in 2007, where Mr. Raila Odinga was forced to share power with Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta by some of their Europeans evils and masters in the US and some of their sellout here in the IGAD and the African Union (the AU).

    Mr. Raila Odinga, a low life who even brags that he is the only “CIA agent in Africa”. A fool used to be taken to *Zimbawe and to Ivory Coast* by his *secret societies’ CIA, MI6 and other low lives who lives over the backs of people handlers*, over the people who are way way too well ahead of them, in the name of their so-called *AFRICA UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION* piece of trash.

    Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbawe eventually later on lost elections from Robert Mugabe and after they were forced to share power with a foreign puppet/stooge and a traitor.

    Mr. Alassane Ouattara of Ivory Coast went and be forced into power by *the French legions in west Africa*. Let the evils bring their cheap intrigues into South Sudan and over South Sudanese people. In the name of their so-called “AFRICA UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION” propagated by our enemies.
