South Sudan: After Juba Massacre, the Declaration of Serial Killings and the State of Emergency in Greater Upper Nile - Is Salva Kiir Govt Lost Its Legitimacy?

13 February 2014

A state of emergency is a governmental declaration that suspends certain normal functions of the executive, the legislative or any other rights of the people for a period of time. It orders all government agencies to implement emergency or President plans. State of emergency always declares by dictatorial regimes. It's necessary in countries; but, not in a way it's being applied by Dictators, as it is the case in Greater Upper Nile. This state of serial killing or genocide, now ongoing in Greater Upper Nile, isn't just a mere state of emergency as we hear from President Kiir and his likes.

However, there is a hidden objective behind that declaration. This objective is none other than ethnic cleansing. An ethnic cleansing in Greater Upper Nile, why? Greater Upper Nile is a home region to most prominent political challengers-political rivals of Salva Kiir. These rivals are Dr. Riek Machar, Dr. Majak D'agot, Mr. Pa'gan Amum, Mr. Taban Deng, Ambassador. Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, Mr. Gier Chuang Aloung, Mr. Oyai Deng Ajak, Mr. John Luk Jok...etc. All these leaders hail from Greater Upper Nile. Annihilation of these mentioned personalities altogether may secondarily come into the mind of Serial Killing plotter-Salva Kiir Mayardit. But, Kiir primary objective is to wipe out Dr. Riek Machar and his ethnic group, the second larger group in South Sudan at the first step.
