Vice President Dr. Riek Machar is expected to be released on Monday.
A Nation in Mourning, A Call for Unity
South Sudan is facing one of the most difficult moments in its history. Vice President Dr. Riek Machar is expected to be released on Monday, a development that has met resistance from Benjamin Bol Mel. Yet, before President Salva Kiir Mayardit drew his final breath, he made a heartfelt plea:
“If I die, please release Dr. Riek to mourn with the nation. He is my brother. I cannot be laid to rest without him by my side.”
These powerful words reflect the late President’s desire for unity, even in death.😭😭
At this time, there is an unfolding situation at J1, and the government has not yet provided a full account of what has transpired regarding President Kiir’s passing. The lack of clarity has stirred uncertainty but we ask all citizens to remain calm, steadfast, and united.
To the people of South Sudan: Your strength, your resilience, and your unity are needed now more than ever. We understand that many of you are questioning what truly happened but remember: the passing of a leader of President Salva Kiir’s stature cannot be treated like that of an ordinary man. He was a hero. He was our founding father. He deserves to be honored in a manner befitting his legacy.
Let us not forget when Nelson Mandela passed, the world did not learn of it immediately. These moments are delicate. They require time, wisdom, and care.
The Government of the Republic of South Sudan is working tirelessly to protect its people and uphold peace and stability.
May we stand together, not as divided voices, but as one grieving, grateful nation.
Rest in Power, Your Excellency President Salva Kiir Mayardit.
Your legacy will live on in the hearts of all South Sudanese.
