    The tactics of avoidable and fearfulness are not going to help the current President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his vice President Riek Machar Teny.

    Independence Day was postponed because of fearful and the inauguration of the President members also was avoid because of fear something might happen. The leaders of South Sudanese need to learn some lesson from others world leaders such as Omar al Bashir, Libya President and the recently Afghanistan government. Honest leadership is the only solution but the use of avoidable and fearful, the people will study and one day they will be like those powerful leaders.
