    President Salva Kiir Mayardit loved to go back and forth. there are many people told him that, the roads constructions are needed in order to connect Jonglei State, Upper Nile State and the country as a whole but he refused to fund the program and now, he is bringing up again after war Breaks out in the Sudan. I think South Sudan nation need a smart leader and not just general in the Army. all these people who were in Old Sudan’s government are still trusting their master and this is why the oilpiple has not been constructed. very soon, the Sudan is going to be like Libya and South Sudan nation is same boat with Sudan.
