my great appreciation goes to you Lona for the truth you are telling the whole world about the current implementation of peace in South Sudan.

[@kuolkarlpeterskuol6634]

My respect for Mrs Lorna

[@bulbulnyanpetpet7710]

International community will not come to your rescue. You the people of South Sudan need to learn how to tackle tough objectives and projects by yourselves. You are the one who messed up your unity, dignity and your country. You are grown men not children.

Lorna eloquently explained why 4 years later we’re lagging behind on the implementation of the R-ARCISS

[@mawutmakat]

Well Michael makuei for your BB point

[@MawuongDiu]

I don't think that the SPLM IG is serious to fully implemented the peace agreement

Woman must give birth to the nation. ❤,😊

I don't understand how the government can blame the international community for failure to support them financially. It is not their civilians suffering, but the south sudanese people. I gree the government doesn't luck weapons to graduate the forces. The government is just using the arm embargo to not graduate the forces and derail the agreement. The mentality of "someone has to come and do miracles for us" is insulting and an inferiority complex.

lonna , you are right . Where is petroleum money being used for ?

[@sanoberkhoso7500]

Frankly speaking, democracy is not going to thrive in Sudan . People don't have the basic necessities

[@kuolkarlpeterskuol6634]

Makuei: "Who has the yardstick to measure the level of potical will in implementing the agreement?" Me: who has the yardstick to measure how much the agreement wasn't made to be implemented? I am just using your logic mr. Minister.

[@uhurunyereremusa8592]

why did they sign the agreement knowing it is not implementable ?

[@kuolkarlpeterskuol6634]

@@uhurunyereremusa8592 good question but I bet Makuei would wittingly retort with a straight face; " just to prove to them have improbable it was implementable" . Just like how he accepted his ministerial appointment with prescient awareness he'd deliver nothing...

Is this John Tanza interviewing

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

These 'leaders' are too materially rich to ever want the absolute best for the people of South Sudan (who'd probably take the same payola if they got a chance). Their wealth is obscene, not that anyone else in South Sudan wouldn't take it if they could. A very African story, repeated forever in history.

[@sigolwidearemo8575]

Why must you use a war to settle differences. Live Life African Our😅

[@MawuongDiu]

If you talked and dialogue you can make a break through

[@sigolwidearemo8575]

Get comman sense. The people in the globe respect guns is not better governance. Live life from good creators.😊.

[@sigolwidearemo8575]

Creator gives Life. Woman . must give birth.❤.

[@jacobcholkur7773]

We never signed

[@jacobcholkur7773]

We didn't sign

[@ephraimkihahu9615]

I honestly don't think you need the International community to run your Country's affairs. Atleast not to the extent that you are implying. South Sudan is not poor at all.

[@bobmoses8101]
