Mabior Garang, delegation fly back to Kenya after ‘successful’ mission to Juba

JUBA – South Sudan opposition politician and former Chairperson of National Committee for Information and Public Relations of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny, Mabior Garang De Mabior, has this afternoon returned back to Nairobi Kenya, where he has been living in exile for the last one year.

Speaking to journalists at Juba international airport, Mabior said he had a successful mission to the country’s capital Juba where he met President Salva Kiir Mayardit on Monday and discuss the implementation of the revitalized peace agreement signed by President Kiir and First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny.

“The National Conversation South Sudan is a concept that the people of South Sudan need to have a conversation for us to be able to forge an identity. The NCSS is a local NGO and people are asking why it is involving in politics, but it is better to understand the difference between macro-politics and micro-politics,” Mabior said.

“We don’t involve ourselves in micro-politics of lobbying for positions in the government and these kinds of things. We only involve in macro-politics on how people can live in harmony with each other and this is macro-politics entails,” he added.

Mabior Garang returned to Juba last meet from Nairobi after more than a year in Kenya where he has been accusing SPLM-IO leader Dr. Riek Machar Teny of surrendering to the government of President Salva Kiir Mayardit at the expense of the security arrangements provided for in the revitalized peace agreement.
