October 03, 2015 (Namilepedia)—-Well, many south Sudanese may applaud Gen. Salva  Kiir for creating and ordering the establishment of 28 states in the young nation engulfed by war of tribal behavior, while many will as well ask millions questions . “Why Kiir this time accepted the call of the marginalized populations?”
President Salva Kiir Mayardit the successor of everything surprise the whole nation by creating more states at a time when people were yearning to implement the recent CPA II. Perhaps, it has been the demands of many south Sudanese who are tied of corruption, non-delivery and unfaithful representation in the central government. Although it look mocking in the other hand.
In my personal point of view Kiir did not only fulfill the popular demands of south Sudanese citizens, but he has actually visualize the ideology of Dr. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon the conqueror and ideologist of my time. Dr. Machar, the founding father of self-determination, 21 sates turn to be 28 states policy and the father to be…. for federalism is a man of great expectations and ambitions whose ideologies are worth accepted by all even his close enemies.
It’s undeniable fact that President Salva Kiir Mayardit copied and pasted the ideology of 21 states policy from Dr. Riek Machar dairy/journal. Kiir should have accepted federalism at once.
But questions will be ask…..won’t the new states borders cause disputes?
And under what agreement from the colonial period will the new borders be demarcate?
What does President Salva Kiir Mayardit Meant by creating 28 states?
In my own opinion, Kiir Mayardit is really trying to poison a dog with fossils if not putting a bait around the hook, in this scenario, President Kiir Mayardit is trying all possible means to destroy and kill the hope that the people of south Sudan had developed toward H.E Dr. Riek Machar whose ideologies exist and continues to live in our hearts. Kiir thinks he is mocking his rival Riek by creating more states not knowing he is implementing and buying his Ideologies.
Creation of 28 states in relationship with oil held areas:
President Salva Kiir think he is very smart and sharp to create 28 states, the smartness seen behind his mind/brain is that he want to get access to oil held territories by giving this areas to authorities of his close friends. Ruweng State will be the oil suburb and the oil in Malut, Adar, Paloch and Tangrial in Northern Upper Nile will be under Apadang community he sees no problem with that as long as his tribesmen control it.
However, It is crystallite and clear now that president Kiir was acting again the handover of greater upper Nile to SPLM/A –IO by IGADs. It unacceptable at this time because it will hinder the process of CPA II implementation.
Nuer to Nuer, Equatoria to Equatoria and Dinka to Dinka State policy
One will be tempted to ask whether federalism mean Nuer in their state, Equatorians in their isolated states and Dinka in their own states.
I microscope the Policy of divide in this process (creation of 28 states), it’s becoming true now that Kiir is promoting tribalism and furthering conflict in the country.
But Beny Kiir Mayardit is too little too late, how can you heal fresh wounds by adding acids to them? In my own view, federalism is not when the section of one genetic stay isolated to his/her neighbor, but it’s when the development reaches on time to all the state levels without pausing in the national government.
The annexation of Dinka to dinka like in Pigi County, Khor Foluus, Galechial, Baliet to Malakal and formation of Ruweng state is clear sponsorship of culture of tribalism.

If that is the case displace their population and you are left with the land. After all they will go to Bar El Gazhal and be homogeneous since that is what they want.
Please visit to new States of Lol and Mayen Abun. Oh dear.
So call Jieng Councils of Elders will turn Republic of South Sudan to something else. They rejected this proposal on the peace agreement time during negotiation till IGAD Plus told the Rebels that this Federalism must done through new Constitution one when you write new constitution. Now what are they going to tell IGAD Plus for these new States. Any way let us watch how IGAD Plus and International Community react about this proposal. But let JCE to know that whole World want peace in South Sudan period
GatNor, displacement of APADANG from their land to Bar ELgzhal it need you to fight 100 years. why do you complaining about the creation of 18 states plus 10 states to 28 states and itis what you always claim that you need more states. Now Salva Kiir has put it in right place NUER to NUER states so that you develop your state with RIEk MACHAR which he always claim that Beny Kiir is not provide development to the states let him develop your state now.
You can create as many state as you like with those useless and unconstituitional(illegal) decrees, but know that when the time come for you to leave them it all the better.
I had a better response comment for you but I think its been filtered…
my friend IGAD is not constitution maker in south sudan IGAD is the body that mediating peace between Rebels and Gov,t we don,t care of IGAD of or what
GATNOR
I KNOW it is so pain into your asshole, but u will do nothing about. This is time around will not be 1800s when Dinka scatter into pieces and then take advantage of fews Dinka clans. The Unity of Dinka or bond of Dinka on this time around is unshakable or strong, and it will not be break so easily like early date. It is doesn’t matter how far Dinka from Bahr el ghazal are, we will do what King Malong current do, by bring men to raping GatNor. let face it, Nuer Killed Dinka than Arab they Killed during 21 years war, how many times Nuer should be forgiven fool? What is wrong Gatnor, don’t you own your birthday state now? isn’t it your god father Dr.Criminal an idea that he borrowing Dr. John Garang an idea of ” Taking Town to people”? Go a head, chase Dinka from Dinka from their God given land, if Ngundeng can be able to do that.
you will be dislodged believe me.
You those of Nuer are the worst part of this disability of this nation, but just am missing the point of view that you are talking about right now Ruweng state was already in the media and Pigi annexed to Malakal, what is the option goings to be apply by the Rebels?
pl make sure that when u read the map oil rich not in Dinka land; paloch is ripe Nery place and oil in Adar which is Nuer land Mathiang land not dinka land just took repinery to Paloch to clean up oil there.
Well, the ball is on the court of Gatmachar and IGAD if they will allow Jaang Village Elders to play with logic. They refused the talk of Federal system during the peace deal, so all this in nothing. It’s a clear violation of the peace deal. Yes, we want federal system and more state, but not in the expand of refusing to abide by the peace deal. If IGAD and international community will not impose this peace deal to the latter, than let Gatmachar this time prepare the resistant movement for full scale war that will include bare gazal.
Time for game should be over.
