I personally appreciated the step taken by waring parties to reach the final deal.
South Sudanese have suffered for a long time if this could an agreement that may last for long will be a chance for South Sudanese citizens both at home and in diaspora to come together and genuinely work on common interests of their future generations.
Thank
The list looks unofficial
Its good but let’s br Ken to rush out to celebrate it. The resolution was between Kiir and Dr. Riek Machar where was the other members of the Presidency?
It was a Tremendous step but I think something is still holding up the process of the implementation of the agreement specially the issue of states and it need the whole presidency to agree on it all together instead of playing a chess game. People of Southsudan are tired.
the list is not correct we don,t want old face in warrap
The list is somehow. Thank for coming to the conclusion.
I don’t think Ali juma malfoy will be back
I appreciated the stems taken by both parties for nominating state governors ,I wish them success in their various states.
That may be a true dream but where is power sharing in three administrative areas?
I greed for implementation but idisagreed why splm(io) take the upper Nile state?
If the both parties have a power sharing they should shared three administratives areas as well. this arrangment was not good enough.
So it might be a good step to all south Sudanese people to have their governors on place ,let’s be hopefully that thing are In place ,,we all encourage the others party to hold the same spirit,
