JUBA – South Sudan’s minister of humanitarian affairs and disaster management Peter Mayen was forcefully pushed off a plane on Saturday by passengers after he forced himself through airport with a positive COVID-19 test results, one passenger and an airport staffer told Sudans Post on Saturday evening.

According to a humanitarian affairs ministry official, the minister was heading to Kenya when he surprisingly returned to the ministry. He had an appointment with his Kenyan counterpart to discuss and sign a humanitarian response plane on Sunday, according to the official.

“The minister was going to Nairobi, Kenya because he was set for a meeting with the minister of humanitarian affairs of Kenya to discuss and sign a humanitarian response agreement,” the ministry official said on condition of anonymity. “But we were surprised that he returned to the ministry and we didn’t know that he has COVID-19 because these things are confidential.”

A passenger who said he was among the people who pushed him out of the plane said airport staff seems to have compromised that he get into plane with the passengers because the crew members informed them that they couldn’t do anything as security officers failed to prevent the minister from boarding the plane.

“What happened is that the minister was positive with coronavirus, but the security officials didn’t want to prevent him from boarding the plane and the plane staff told us about the matter and because we are concerned with our own health, we pushed him out of the plane because it is against the law and out health,” the passenger said.

An airport security officer refused to comment and said “matters such as this are confidential and are handled by the people who have that condition.”

Mayen is a controversial figure who has in the past been involved in a quarrel with a businessman over four vehicles that Mayen had borrowed.

    “S. Sudan minister trying to board plane with positive COVID-19 result pushed off by passengers”

    Where were the low lives going in the first place? “The South Sudanese minister was allegedly removed from the plane by passengers” ‘And the people claiming anonymity’ were quoted by the foreign propagandists. Mr. Salva Kiir and his bunch of fools foolishness. Have let these foreign parasites/vermins play game with our country and over our people. We just want a whistle to be blown and their will not be these Bantuses, evil white white Americans, English people, their cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their UN, their sleazy NGOs of UNMISS of Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lnakans; Roman Catholics, criminals, Anglican evils, Presbyterian creeps, Hindus, Bantus Voodoos, Buddhists of South East Asia, Shamanists of Alaska.

    We want a war with the vermins/parasites, we are the Ancient Egyptians. Irish people are evil, Romans are not equal with us, Arabs are not equal with us, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) are not on par with us. We don’t marry Bantuses let alone these vermins/parasites.

    WW3 is going to start here in South Sudan. And we are going to *WIPE OUT* these vermins/parasites of this planet earth.

    Suez canal would be closed. Abesh (so-called ethiopia), Djibouti, French legions and the US army would be bombed with the land they are currently on back to *Yemen and Saudi Arabia*, I am one of the boys who will again help bomb our cloned so-called of North Sudan back to Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

    We will take care of their low of lives of Darfur and their Northern Nigerian low of Plataiai (Fulanis) lives pretty harshly should the low lives bring their usual noses into Dinkas/Mounyjiengs/Jaangs/Jenges countries ever ever again. Reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
