Speaking to the Voice of America’s South Sudan in Focus, information minister and government spokesman Michael Makuei Lueth said protests that call for the resignation of the government are not always peaceful and therefore the government must work to prevent such protests from taking place.
“Any demonstration calling for the system to go, is not a peaceful demonstration if you go to the street today and you demand that I must go, if you say that I must go and I don’t go what will you do?” Makuei said.
“Of course you will go to violence and if you go to violence we will not tolerate that. So, the best thing is that prevention is better than cure and as such we prevented it to have a peaceful South Sudan,” he added.
The senior government official further urged the organizers of the now failed protests to wait for elections if they intention to ascend to power and then accused external powers of funding the demonstrations and urged the protest organizers to donate the money they gained from outsiders to the people of South Sudan.
“Anybody who wants power should wait until that time when elections are run and if he contest and pass, then he take the seat and this means the peaceful transfer of power. These imported ideals are the cause of the problem because even those who talks of the government not implementing the agreement are not genuine and if you call them today and ask them where the government went wrong they will not answer you,” he said.
“These are just people who are being moved by outsiders and being told to do so, if you have taken any money so please help and have your country at heart,” the senior government official further alleged.

You guys should not blames South Sudanese people who wants the President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his vice President Riek Machar Teny to go home. We have hundreds of thousands citizens died because of bad leadership and the situation right now is not improving so what would you do? According to national dialogue initiative conference in Juba, the delegates from all regions agreed and asking President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his vice President Riek Machar Teny to steps down if they really loved South Sudan nation unfortunately, the two leaders have responded vigorously by saying, they have no mandate to tell the President and the vice President Riek Machar said, he is not part of the national dialogue initiative.
We South Sudanese people have lost confidence on both leaders and also we believe there will be no election base on the currently situation in South Sudan. Why having a government in South Sudan when the few people are controlling and paying themselves while, the citizens are left suffering in the country? We have everything in the country to benefit from it’s but the leaders have no Idea on what to do so it will be better for them to hands power to someone to try. Michael Makuei, you guys need to learn from Omar al Bashir and the rest of the world. You can’t control people forever because they have minds as a human being.
my friend this is your stupidity that bring a war Among peoples of south Sudan which you have no good governance and leadership leave South Sudanese to die alone without you guys South Sudan will Stable. you are really learn from Omer Hessen Al Bahir which all of you learn by mistake leadership in Sudan that make you always rebel again government of GOSS and Republic of South Sudan currently you will end up like they way you guys wanted to be in South Sudan.
ask yourselves who are we before? and what we did to South Sudanese peoples? you are like a baby on it mother back does not know the way is long. you are rebel 24/7 in every year may God see you what are doing to South Sudanese peoples and vulnerable of South Sudan generally.
In fact is not a matter of staying on seat for so long but resources delivery and development to minimize the suffering of the Country citizen like before is very essential. what is the matter if I am employ and enjoy my citizenship right of self determination as the citizen of this country.
