@dhengkuloortv: President Kiir Responds to VP Rebecca Nyandeng Over Leadership Failure Remarks A political exchange is emerging between President Salva Kiir Mayardit and Vice President for Gender and Youth Cluster Rebecca Nyandeng Garang de Mabior following remarks by Nyandeng that the country’s liberators have been reduced to beggars, with many unable to afford basic needs, including rent. Responding to the remarks, President Kiir said that if former liberation figures and other citizens are facing hardships, the issue should be treated as a national concern rather than being used as a political weapon. In a carefully worded statement delivered by Presidential Press Secretary Arek Aldo Ajou, the President’s office said that anyone who believes the government has failed the country should use the democratic process, including elections, as the avenue for change. “If someone believes the government has failed, the solution is through elections,” the statement emphasized. Although Vice President Nyandeng did not directly mention who she was criticizing in her speech, and President Kiir’s response also avoided naming her, the timing and wording of both statements have left the media and South Sudanese to connect the dots. The exchange has sparked debate among South Sudanese, with many viewing it as a rare public disagreements between senior figures from the liberation movement now leading the government.
