SALVA KIIR IS NO LONGER ROCKING THE BOAT ALONE: THIS IS THE LIST, VERY SPLM-less!

July 31, 2013

BREAKING NEWS:

SALVA KIIR IS NO LONGER ROCKING THE BOAT ALONE, However, it is still to be seen if there is enough SPLM aboard, following his recent declaration telling those with grievances to leave and form their own party.

Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit has just broken the long awaited news of the formation of his cabinet ministers…NO VICE PRESIDENT, yet. Watch this space for full analysis tomorrow…!

But before the full analysis, take it or leave it quickly from me here that this government formation does not augur well for the future of this nation! No, I am not being prophet of doom, but given the way the old SPLM stalwarts have been sidelined…not that alone…but made scapegoats to should the blame of corruption, as if they are the only 75! The only mistake Kiir has made, which any shrewed politician cannot easily make, is dismissing almost the whole government in one day! Who said they cannot decamp and demand even the same powers of his? Check the list of the so-called PolitBureau!

Secondly, when I used the suffix ‘less’ in the SPLM above, I mean it. This is not a government of national unity, no crisis have occurred to warrant such amorphous sharing of power. The ruling party should take it all, or all those parties: NCP, SSDF, etc. will compete with the SPLM and the result will be that ‘too many cooks of differing experiences will spoil the broth’ (God forbid it, please!). Or who did not hear Omar al Bashir swearing during the Heglig clashes that he was going to ‘liberate asharat del mn SPLM beta’um deh’? To liberate us from our SPLM? How? Wait and see…!
