Kiir’s office coordinated importation of dredging machines via Sudan, Egyptian official

JUBA – An Egyptian embassy official in Juba has said that President Salva Kiir Mayardit’s office has full knowledge over the process to dredge the River Nile tributaries and had directed the importation of the machines from Egypt via the republic of Sudan.

This is in contrary to a claim by President Kiir’s Press Secretary Ateny Wek Ateny who said that the government hadn’t approved the dredging process of Naam River in Unity State and that the presidency is not informed about the importation of dredging machines which are already in Bentiu.

“The government has not given any approval yet on clearing Nile water or clearing the plants that are inside the Nile. We have not yet been told about those machines completely,” Eye Radio quoted Ateny Tuesday in Juba as saying.

But speaking to Sudans Post on condition of anonymity, an Egyptian embassy member in Juba said the presidency is well informed and that the coordination for the importation of the dredging machines is mostly done between the presidencies of Egypt and South Sudan with water ministries of both countries working as executing agencies.

“This process is done on the level of the presidency in both Egypt and South Sudan and the presidency here in Juba is well informed. The coordination of bringing in the dredging machines from Egypt via Sudan was being done between the two presidencies of South Sudan and Egypt,” the official said.

The importation of dredging machines has caused public uproar and contradiction among senior government officials.

The country’s minister of environment and forestry Josephine Napwon ordered the immediate suspension of the dredging project until an environmental risk assessment process is done.

Speaking to reporters at her ministry’s premise in Juba on Wednesday afternoon, Napwon ordered the suspension of the project until further notice and said any attempt to dredge rivers in the world’s youngest country without environmental risk assessment is illegal.

“I don’t think they will start the project without the environmental assessment. Therefore, since the above process has not commenced, any dredging of the rivers is illegal,” Napwon said.

    “Kiir’s office coordinated importation of dredging machines via Sudan, Egyptian official”

    Sudans post propagandists piece of shits, so what? Your love affair with South Sudan and the South Sudanese people has gone too far. And you are going to be blitz to kingdom come out of our country and over our people once and for all, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
    Mr. Salva Kiir is just Mr. Salva Kiir. The Bucket-wheel (Markarween) which was brought to our country, to come, to dig up Jonglei Canal and which is rusting away here my home state of Jonglei, bucket-wheel was a German built machine. It was used in ‘Pakistan and our Egypt’.

    And was assembled and brought to ‘Southern Sudan today South Sudan in late 1970th’ to come and drained our ‘toc (Sudd/swamp) to our Egypt, by the evils and pieces of shits. Our mighty SPLM/A haD other ideas. Bombed the damned ‘Bucket-wheel machine and the creeps behind it on the 16/05/1983’

    *Dredging* of rivers, lakes, canals, tributaries is nothing new to us. If the river (ciir/Kiir) channels, lakes, tributaries or canals are ‘clogged up’ then you dig them up to store more waters and keep ‘pïu (water)/wëryic/bäryic/tocyic/pölyic’ and to drain the areas for our cattle, sheep, goats and others, to graze on. Here in home my home state of Jonglei and Upper Nile. We dredge up ‘liet or Nyalitho (sand/fine aggregate)’ out of our River beds and use it on, when we and how we want to use it, fellows. What do you piece of shits smoke?

    Kur/kuur/ajer/ajeer/alɛ̈ɛ̈l (jebel/sMountains/hills/boulders/ballasts/fine/course aggregate). In Engineering—–fine aggregate ‘liet/Kuur/kuur/ajer/ajeer/alɛ̈ɛ̈l/döö/tiɔp that can ‘pass through a 5 milliliter ‘gurbal’ sieve’. While Course aggregates (mountains/hills/boulder/jebel/ballasts/fine/course aggregates cannot pass through a 5 milliliter sieve

    *Get your rubbish away from Drakensberg mountains, in Southern Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, Ruwenzori mountain (so-called Mountain of the moon by Europeans), mount Kenya, Mount Kinangop, Cheranganyi hills, in Kenya. tɔŋ/kuur/ajer/ajeer/alɛ̈ɛ̈l/döör/tiɔp (war mountains), here in South Sudan; Eastern Equatoria, Nuba Mountains, Abeshas (so-called ethiopian) prostitutes–highlands, Atlas Mountain in Morocco ‘the Muɔnyjiɛŋ/jiɛŋ/Jeŋɛ̈/Jäŋ/Dinkas of the Sudan and Egypt’, are going to bomb you to *Abac/naught//nil/nothing/nought/zilch/zero—–reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM*.

    We are going to find out who have the last laugh on this planet earth.

    *That we can live sides by sides, with our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopian) prostitutes, Bantuses, white Americans, English people, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their gulf Arab terrorist exporters and financiers, Dutch (so-called Afrikaans), Portuguese, Italians, Irish, Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, gays, lesbians or LGBTQs in Southern Africa, the US, Canada, central America, Caribbean, South America, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, my arse, that is nothing to happen under sun or even milion years. Get your rubbish away from ‘South Africa, Kenya and take it to Western Australia. You are going to be WIPED OF OUT MAP ONCE and FOR ALL. Have you of shit ever heard/found ‘the Muɔnyjiɛŋ/jiɛŋ/Jeŋɛ/Jäŋ/Dinkas of the Sudan and Egypt going *Lampadusa, Sicily of Italy, Catalana or Spain? Not really, We know the reason why*

    Look for a place to hide, fellows>>>>>
