JUBA – South Sudan’s former deputy minister of defense, David Yau Yau, has characterized the ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM-IG) as “a violent tribal organization,” cautioning that the country will continue to suffer unless decisive action is taken.
A former rebel leader who held various positions after a 2015 peace agreement with the government, Yau Yau asserted that there are individuals within the ruling party primarily pursuing their personal interests to the detriment of the populace.
“There are those who are feasting on the suffering of the people of South Sudan and they insist to promote their selfish interest at the expense of the people and the state and they have become very powerful and wealthy,” he remarked during a press briefing in the capital, Juba, on Monday where he announced his departure from the SPLM-IG to join the main armed opposition SPLM-IO.
“These individuals have increased in number, strength and around the office of the president to the extent that they have captured the organs and major sectors of state and government,” he added.
The former Chief Administrator of the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) lamented that the ruling political entity has been manipulated by unspecified figures into an orchestrated plot and tribal entity.
He cautioned that if left unchecked, what he described as a “state sponsored conspiracy” would plague South Sudan’s prospects for generations to come.
“They have reduced SPLM-IG to an organized conspiracy and violent tribal organization rendering the party’s organs and structures meaningless, dysfunctional and visionless,” he said.
“The failure to arrest this form of state sponsored conspiracy, South Sudan have been faltering and bleeding and shall continue to do so…” he added.
Bravo Genera!!!!!!
The living God is in watch,his power is infinite.
Very unfortunate to the dreams of South Sudanese people to vote for their independence state and later suffering for the expense of the individuals interest
when members defected,there is a lot,this speech is more powerful than ever “if they are left” actions is certain.
Will not vote again this time I have no face and I have no back.
even you Yau Yau yourself, you are not perfect because you always been holding positions and bear no fruits.
I am tried of this political prostitution. When we want like leaving the party, we talked as if we are completely abandoning the party. Tomorrow we sing the same song against that party forgetting that we did it yesterday. When are we going to end this game yajama.
the citizens are very much aware of the characters of SPLM IG, they don’t intend to propelled this country ahead but rather to loot it to its knees
