Kiir urges against disturbing peace in South Sudan - 26-05-2010
(JUBA) - Southern Sudan government President, Salva Kiir Mayardit has on Tuesday urged against disturbing the peace saying doing so disturbs efforts to consolidate the socio-economic gains of the semi-autonomous region.
The tribal violence that witnessed the southern Sudan last year and the deep divisions among the different ethnic groups remain one of the main challenges facing the region particularly months before a referendum where they have to decide if they want to forge a new state.
"It would be unwise to destabilize the region and disturb the same peace you fought to bring," Kiir said in a consultative meetings with representative of youth and women leaders held in Juba on Tuesday.
"What was the reason of taking up arms twice in the south if some people knew they would disturb the same peace," Kiir asked, warning any destructive or violent actions should not be allowed to undermine the hard-earned peace.
"We will not tolerate any attempt to destabilize the peace regardless of the difference. If one is discontented with anything, there are ways to pursue your right not through violence," he said.
Kiir took oath last Friday but he is still consulting before to announce his new government seven months ahead of self-determination referendum.
His today meeting with representatives of youth and women leaders was seen to be one of the last meetings in the consultation to form new inclusive government.
He further told youth and women leaders never ever buy allegations from the people he described as enemies of peace and stability who preaches hatred within the region as way to get political appointment on tribal lines while accusing SPLM with unfounded and unverified accusations.
"Those talking ill of SPLM are the same people who have held lots of key executive positions in most governments on divisive tribal lines since independence of Sudan in 1956."
"They are accustomed to division of the region on tribal lines as a way to getting political appointments hence gives no strength to unity of southern Sudanese amongst themselves on common grounds," Kiir said adding South Sudan belongs to all her citizens and urged them to maintain peace and stability in the region.
