February 22, 2017 (JUBA) – South Sudan President Salva Kiir has said
his government has evidence that the United States administration
under former President Barrack Obama wanted regime change in the
war-torn nation.

“It is not secret; we had a strong feeling that the previous US
Administration might have sought a regime change agenda in South Sudan
and largely complicated the peace process with all threats of
sanctions and arbitrary deadlines,” Kiir told lawmakers in the
country’s national assembly on Tuesday.
“We know the new U.S administration will take a different direction on
South Sudan,” he added.
This is the first time the South Sudanese leader has publicly accused
the U.S, which has provided over $2 billion in humanitarian assistance
to war-torn country, for allegedly agitating for regime change.
President Kiir said his government had taken “all the necessary steps”
with the new U.S President Donald Trump’s administration to “end all
the destabilizing hands of external actors” in South Sudan affairs.
Without providing much detail, Kiir said the new U.S administration
under Trump is in contact with his government on more cooperation.
He said South Sudan enjoys good relations with neighboring nations
like Uganda, Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan.
“We will continue to work closely with these countries for mutually
beneficial engagements,” said Kiir in a speech on foreign relations.
The South Sudanese leader also admitted that relations with the United
Nations have not been smooth, over the last three years.
“However, the new U.N Secretary General is a pragmatic man and my
government pledges to work with him very closely to improve our
relationship with the UN system in general,” stressed the president.
He said South Sudan disagreed with the world body over its “unfair treatment”.
“The Republic of South Sudan was not accorded the respect that it
deserves as a member state of this world body,” said President Kiir.
The U.S remains the single largest donor of humanitarian assistance to
South Sudan, having reportedly provided more than $2.1 billion to the
war-torn nation since 2014.

Ex-U.S administration`s regime agenda was hijacked by other
competing interest from members.There were those against this agenda,
given the dire humanitarian situation in the country.There were those
who do not see Dr Riek machar as a fine candidate to replace president
Kiir because of his worse human right records.

Mr. Doot,
You know what? SUDAN TRIBUNE is an online foreign propaganda
tabloid based in France and it edited by the enemies of South Sudan
and the South Sudanese people. Have anyone ever seen the names of
those who often post these kind of articles? Absolutely no. You know
the reasons why? Because they are what are known these days as *fake
news*>>>

Barack Obama, Susan Rice, Hilde Johnson, the then head of
UNIMISS and the then US ambassador to South Sudan, Susan Paige and
some criminals in the UK embassy were the ones that pushed Riek Machar
to attempt the coup that failed on the 15/12/2013. But when their coup
to take over power by force failed, then they were the ones who stuck
out their evil necks the following morning>>>

You even don’t know what Trump’s administration has in
store for you! Successive US administrations will continue to have
bipartisan foreign policies towards South Sudan: continue to provide
humanitarian assistance, targeting the common masses and stave off
inept tribal kleptocrats. Eventually, South Sudan will revert to the
masses after being freed from these violent SPLA/SPLM thieves!!!!

as if they were staying at the two army Barracks that
the attempted coup took place. The reason the US, the UK, the UN and
some of their allies made a coup against an elected government was
because, the government of South Sudan was seen to be edging towards
China. And Riek Machar and Pagan Amuom were considered by the US, the
UK, their UN and their allies as people that they can easily>>>

South Sudanese people as their true uncle who
stood up with them during worse times and the US investors were given
the first priority to come and invest in South Sudan. But you know
what fellows, But you know what? President Salva Kiir and his cabinet
ministers were told by the US business men and investors that there
were no infrastructures in South Sudan to invest in. Mr. Salva Kiir>>>

and his cabinet Ministers said alright
then and came back to South Sudan and looked for another friendly
country that would come and invest in South Sudan however there are no
infrastructures to invest our country. The Chinese companies told the
government of South Sudan that they are going to what they would to do
try to invest in South Sudan>>>

And when the US and her allies learned
that Chinese companies are going to invest in South Sudan, the US went
berserk. And Mr. Salva Kiir was all over a sudden, became a
communist/socialist and very dangerous to US, the UK or the West
interests and was to be removed from power at all costs>>>

Riek Machar, Pagan Amuom and to
some extent, Mama Rebecca Nyandengdit were touted as possible
candidates to get rid of Mr. Salva Kiir was taking South Sudan, a
country that was midwifed by the US money to a communist/socialist
China!! That was how the failed coup on the 15/12/2013 was hatched
folks. There are very good articles by our best boy, Simon Yel Yel and
others that i will them to you>>>

Kuch,
You seem terribly bothered, I urge you to take
some time off and perhaps write down your thoughts in a memoir or
biography, if you so wish for jienge posterity. Your baseless
arguments are simply disgusting.

I have seen how stupid you are reasoning. You still believe that
Troika and UN have plans to change regime or plotted your so-called
attempt coup? If they want, they can easily do so. Remember all
neighboring Countries can become training grounds to train fighters to
kick Kiir out. It does not take time if they wish but they don’t want
that. Weapons and all attires can be shipped, money talks
