[image: PNG - 256.5 kb]*South Sudan’s presidential spokesperson, Ateny Wek Ateny (AFP)* The spokesperson for the presidency, Ateny Wek Ateny, said no amount of pressure on the government would compel president Kiir and his government to reverse the directive because it was a popular demand by the people. “The government reiterates that it will not under any circumstances bow down to the calls to revoke its decision on creating 28 states”, presidential spokesperson, Ateny Wek Ateny said in an interview with *The Nation Mirror* newspaper. James Morgan, one of South Sudanese diplomats to its mission in neigbouring Kenya, also supported government position rejecting reversal of the order, asserting no evil on earth will ever change the order. The diplomat claimed the order was popular among south Sudanese community to be reversed by the president. “The creation of 28 States or the additional 18 states in our country is the will of the people which no evil power on this planet earth will ever change. No IGAD, no G10, and not even your armed uncle Kingdom”, an angry Morgan wrote in response to an opposition supporter calling for revocation of the president’s 2 October decree. The remarks follow declaration of the formation of new rebel group in protest of the creation of more new states. Observers and political analysts points out that the order, if implemented, would create more division among communities especially in Upper Nile region as it undermines unity of the people and violates the terms of the peace agreement. Legal experts have also argued that the order usurps legislative functions. (ST) Comments on the Sudan Tribune website must abide by the following rules.

He may be one of the desperate Nyamnyams. Ateny Wek **Wangkel** I told you last time when we were debating about your safety for challenging kiir on citizen newspapers in 2013. I assured you that, you dont meant to challenge kiir and goverment but you was either wanting to be popular or fighting for position as such.. i think you remember me now lesbian? repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=56927&id_forum=341252> - 2 November 23:34, by Mr Point Ateny Wek Ateny, said it was a popular demand by the people. Who voted? What was the result? When and how (during this civil war) was there any consultation carried out? What study was carried out to ensure the 28 state scheme was feasible? repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=56927&id_forum=341253> - 3 November 04:04, by Mi diit I think those guys of cowboy Kiir want to be given another six months in Juba and see how they will cope up with their ever economic downfall. Dr. Machar should go to Juba in April 2016 when the cowboy has reversed his useless decree of 28 states and agree on security arrangements. Give them time to quarrel with the economy. Dollars vs SS pounds, bank vs finance ministry, people vs cowboys, etc repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=56927&id_forum=341258> - 2 November 23:34, by lino Hahaaa!Chuol, if it got hot Ateny will run back to Australia where he belongs as refugee. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=56927&id_forum=341254> - 3 November 01:37, by Mr Point The creation of the new states is a clear and obvious breach of the Constitution. It is illegal and can not stand. The serious consequence is that if the 28 states go through unconstitutionally then there are no LAWFUL checks on Salva Kiir’s use of power. You know what I’m sayin’! repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=56927&id_forum=341256> - 3 November 02:49, by Maper The establishment order was meant to be effective by November 2, 2015. Another day has started and we are not hearing anything about 28 states. Has the government secretly reversed the order? -- To post to this group, send email to southsudankob@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to southsudankob+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
