I think Diplomacy is the only way out for South Sudan from it unbelievably tragedy. Military has done a lot of damage and will always do. UN troops had failed, giving guns to either faction had destroyed the country so much and undermining the ruling government is just a another block. Civilians are suffering in full meaning of suffering. So diplomacy is the shortest way than military.
Don’t these idiots have better things to do in their own countries and several other countries in Africa that have the same conflicts we do have here in South Sudan? What is all these bullshits of obsession with our country and our people?
There is a mess in Libya, that was created by the US, the UK, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and some of their allies and the damn AU cowered like goats being led into the Nile. There are conflicts in Northern Nigeria, DRC, CAR, Darfur, Southern Blue Nile and Southern Khadupan, Somalia and Burundi.
But no damn rubbish in the AU always talk about these conflicts, so why is obsession about South Sudan conflict? Because some idiots have made South Sudan conflict as their way of eking out their living.
Some evil in the US, the UK, their evil juus and some of their criminals in between want to Geo-politically chess game play our country like their `1950th Korea, their 1960th Eastern Congo, Angola or Mozambique.
They want to Geo-politically chess play our country like Ukraine, Iraq, Yemen and now Syria. And they are using African fools like former Botswana and Oumar criminals to bid for their dirty game in our country.
Fellows, here in South Sudan. We are way well ahead of these evil Europeans, Americans, their evil juus and some their criminals in between dirty intrigues. Yes, we have some lowly informed in our country like Riek Machar, Pagan Amuom, Lam Akol and Majak Agoot who want to sell our country to corporate America, Europe and some of their criminals in between at the highest bidder. But the criminals are playing with fire.
The game here all along is about our oil fields. Corporate America, Europe and some of their criminals in between want our oil fields just like they have done in Libya, Iraq and gold mines of Mali and Central African republic.
They don’t want the Chinese companies in South Sudan. Besides, the US, the UK, Japan, South Korea and some of their sleazy other countries in between want to circle China in our country. All these rubbishes of humanitarian aid, donations and peacekeeping business in our country are just veneers and smokescreens.
The game is to play our country as their cold war-like part two. Their puppets/stooges like Riek Machar, Pagan Amuom, Lam Akol and Majak Agoot are being used by the corporate America, the UK, their evil juus and some of their criminals in between as their bargaining chips to crawl their evil selves into our country.
The evils have taken our country and our people’s hostage. All these so-called negotiations are nothing to do with South Sudanese people’s peace, but corporate America, the UK, their evil juus and some of their criminals in between are the criminals negotiating their evil selves into our country.
The criminals do not know the South Sudanese people. We don’t have anything to do with corporate America, the UK, their evil juus and some of their criminals in between. The evils think, that they can kill our people through proxy purposely to be welcomed into our country to come and loot? Good luck to them.
They are highly welcomed, because Juba regime has completely failed to protect its own Citizen and properties. what a messed! One day the most famous leader and government of the people by the people will take over from this tribal regime who are in power by mistake.
My concern is going to kush those other stupid idiots who thought Kiir regime is the best, you are layers and its so to you because you are eating from them and you have forgotten the truth about the suffering of the innocent south Sudanese who are not connected to any share in the Government of kiir. it has become the Govt of selfcenter (self service), therefore, Remember that the lord God will one day see the cry of his innocent once and will sweep away this heartless Regime of blood shedding in this young Nation.

You guide let just talk truth so that God will help us, as what was narrated by John is reality because if we are not worried about the suffering of innocent people it mean that we have no planning for the future of South Sudan
let us not think of today food let have future planning , also let respect the right of our citizen ,
for how long shall we realized our suffering as the citizen of south sudan? why do we likes to support wrong elements who do not even think of the suffering of their people? did we fought Arab because of tribal line? if that so how can we handle/eradicate such jealousy is better to re think the long suffering that we got during struggle with northern sudan and again now we cause rustless/ baseless war and we don’t how will it end if we will not compromised and infact this suffering will destroy individual/tribe at the end of it.
kush? you’re the first and the last idiot instead of America, European and brotherly African who intervene to our suffering to be resolve or solve to be calls idiots, they are mediators to our matter caused by madness of your leader kiir, yet you don’t know the end that war that will cause even more disaster to south sudanese citizen as you know very well all tribes in south sudan discovered the move planning by dinka and they turned themselves against dinka tribe what do you think would be the end of the war? and you first killed nuer and the nuer would not surrender to dinka tribeupto the end of the world , how would you think would be the end of the war? last do you know who supported us during Arab struggle for south sudan independent? instead of hatred western world with unreasonable words i think those are the kids words or maybe you’re under fluency of wine because all those loyal to kiir regime are all consider as drunkard people/ un normal PEOPLE.those who do not think well like others
