January 2, 2018 (SSB) — As we are stepping into 2018, every South Sudanese ‘s wish for a new year is for the President Salva Kiir and his First Vice President Gen. Stephen Taban to change their current political stance on this ongoing crisis and bring a genuine peace to this country in 2018. There is no doubt that these two individuals behold the future of over 10 million South Sudanese.

They are in charge of our death files. In their book, there is the time when we can die and when to live, what will kill us and what will make us live, how to die and how to live. They hold our country’s political heartbeat and our kismet more than any other SPLM politicians.

Therefore, it is squarely upon them to continue holding onto their current political philosophy (we are better off without them) while despising other factions of SPLM and let the situation continues unabated or change their philosophy and salvage the country from a total prostration and save the few remaining lives.
