January 14, 2017 (JUBA) - The Norwegian government has denied it’s
involvement in an alleged plot to assassinate the chief of general
staff for the South Sudanese army (SPLA).

"These are false accusations and a willful and gross misrepresentation
of Norwegian policy, which for so long has focused on contributing to
peace and development in South Sudan and for its people,” partly reads
a statement on the website of the Norwegian embassy in South Sudan.
It added, “Norway does not hold any opinions, nor interfere, in the
democratic leadership in any countries”.
The Norwegian government, the statement stressed further,
categorically rejects the allegations made on 12 January, 2017 that
representatives of Norway together with Troika colleagues were
involved in discussions reportedly aimed at changing the current
leadership in the young nation.
The meeting was allegedly held in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
Norway’s statement was in response to a release issued by the acting
spokesman of the SPLA, which claimed the Troika nations (including
Britain and United States) met with anti-government elements in
Nairobi and allegedly plotted to assassinate the SPLA chief of staff,
Paul Malong Awan.
The statement portrayed Malong as an obstacle to the regime change
agenda and that achieving this implies that he is either killed or
sanctioned.
In November last year, the U.S. requested the United Nations Security
Council to impose sanctions on the leader of the armed opposition
(SPLM-IO), Riek Machar, Malong and the information minister for
hampering South Sudan’s peace process.

Shame on you!!!
The plot to kill does not need a meeting. Does Juba know how Dr.
Khalil Ibrahim got killed. If there’s need, it can be done to Paul
Malong or Kiir in their private residences. Satellite can detect any
presence of wanted target and hit him or her silently. The world is
still lenient. Nothing special why Paul Malong should not die. He has
killed enough and he must be sent to see hell

Mr. Fair Man,
If people who have caused others to lose their life are to be
killed then put yourself at the top of the list, because the
information you always misrepresent here is more dangerous than
firearm being used by government or IO.

Indeed killing Malong and Makuei will send a chill
down the spin of the Dinkocrats in Juba and Gogrial.....

Killing General Awan is not a solution to South
Sudan problem because there are far most worse people in South Sudan
government than general Awan. Remember, when John Garang died, people
were thinking government will be strong again. Therefore, think first
before you act.

Having many ’worst people’ won’t help matters
either. Kiir is into tribalistic and nepotistic politics already.
Tonight, Kiir though changing Cornrlio Koryom Mayiik with Ajak is the
magic bullet for the ailing economy. Why are you the Dinka this
shameless?

Joyuma John,
Don’t panick! The network of regime change agents spreads
deep into the South Sudanese societies thanks to the poor security
agents of Kiir who go chest thumping around. For now you may have been
misled to think it’s Mslong on the radar, but the next victim will be
a different person. Cellphones of wanted persons can be targeted as
Fair Man stated. Time is up for blood suckers!!!

Breaking news!
Kiir has fired the BoSS governor and his deputy and created 8
additional ’states’. The number of those to be targeted for
assassinations has certainly increased.....

Divide and rule policy has been used extensively throughout the
history of humanity with various consequencies. Dear Equatorians,
don’t go down in the anal fo history as those who have sold out thier
lives and rights for a morsel!!!

Eastern brother don’t worry. Equatoria region is more united
today than ever before. The creation so-called more States are just
cheap political manuevres not withstanding our unity. They will be
ashamed of poor performances of the these ghost states, whose
population are afraid of being killed by Same government creating
states and hiding in various safe havens.

Eastern or Northern Sudan you need to come up with your real
name to the media first than talk like a man, stop hiding like devil
talking from underground world. Now understand this Gov and IO and
everybody who is from SS are talking peace to come in their Country
not Norwegian to come or Troika nations to come, if you are not
SSudanese please stay away from us. thank you and God bless you

john akeen,
I am perhaps more South Sudanese than you! Take this from
me, any Sudanese from the then southern region of the Sudan who sought
refuge abroad is a Sudanese unless they come to South Sudanese to
legalise their status. I can lecture you on South Sudan!

John Akeel come. How do you expect unarmed man, expressing his
political opinion peace by anonymous network name, to expose himself
to your blood thirsty thugs. The heavily armed National Security and
SPLA MI operate in numberless and tinted cars, for fear of criminals
ambushes, how dare are you to reason Eastern reveals his name to you.
You are not after him. Read his wise
repondre message
15 January 05:41, by Eastern
Now Kiir has decreed that only the Nationak Security that he
directly supervises be allowed to have cars with tinted windshield to
protect them from future prosecution/persecution because of their evil
deeds now. We are watching these goons....

There’s nothing to do with Norwegian governments folks, let’s
looks closer to the fact. This is a part of the peace implementation
planned by an elites groups within government to eliminate chief of
general staff. There are too many traitors here in Juba who don’t
sleep, because they don’t want this nation to prosper. Therefore, any
attempt to assassinate Paul Malong are digging their own graves.
repondre message
15 January 05:48, by Eastern
So you are insinuating that Malong is holding South Sudan
hostage by maintaining the status quo?

You Kiir’s apologists should know that in democracy, there’s no CEO!

Eastern,
Those who are planning the plot assassination against the man
should come upfront clearly, explaining to us (South Sudanese) of what
Malong is doing wrong with this peace! Otherwise, this would be a
crystal conspiracy theories that must be deal with accordingly! If
those of Eastern are part of this deadly deal, then they must be hunt
downs, regardless of where they reside.

Whoever, is running public affairs, as soon as people get fade of
him, the best he could do to save his legacy and life is to resign. In
the absence of resignation amidst dissatisfaction, the best the public
would wish of you is death. You must die a simple death. When you
become a private citizen, no body cares what you do with your life.

What is wrong, son of bitch, if the death of Malong can be
peace!!!!. In other words if his departure can reconcile the people of
South Sudan, why not? Let him be the lamb of God of South Sudan. We
will join hand as soon as his news is announced. Keep tuned. Men are
working.

IT’S ALWAYS DIVIDE & RULE via ethnic fault-lines! The USA and
Israel were the real forces behind Sudan dividing into 2 states,
because they wanted your oil and rare earth metals and now its phase
2. The plan is to divide South Sudan also along ethnic/tribal lines,
to spread paranoia amongst the leaders and opposition, to take each
other out. THE WEST IS NOT YOUR FRIEND SOUTH SUDAN. Never forget!
