June 4, 2020 (SSNN) – South Sudan veteran politician and former member of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) Peter Adwok Nyaba has said that he regrets being part of what he said is a South Sudan failure.
Adwok was the country’s minister for higher Education twice, first following the independence in 2011, and then following the signing of a 2015 peace agreement which gave the SPLM-IO a number of minister in the then transitional government.
Adwok resigned from the SPLM-IO in 2018 and began to criticise the leadership of the First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar who he said has failed to deliver to defeat the government of president Salva Kiir.
“hen it come to me, whenever, i will go down with the knowledge of the phenomenal failure by our educated and military elite to transform the centuries old condition of socioeconomic and cultural backwardness of South Sudanese people,” Nyaba wrote on his Facebook page.
“I regret that i was part of this failure although on the periphery,” he added.
The veteran politician further commended senor SPLM-IO member, Mabior Garang de’Mabior who resigned from the unity government on the account that President Salva Kiir’s side was not ready to live up to the terms of the agreement.
“With this note i want to commend Captain Mabior Garang for his courage to resign the ministerial position,” he said.
“However, remaining in SPLM/A (IO) will not allow him to organize and become effective in transforming the oppressive reality,” Nyaba added.
