The President of the Republic has reiterated his position against the deployment of the Regional Protection Force to the country.
President Salva Kiir rebukes most South Sudanese who appeal for quick deployment of Regional Protection Force.
‘Why don’t you trust your own army?’ He asks the masses who were attending SPLM party registration on Wednesday in Juba Freedom Hall.
President Kiir defends the domination of one ethnicity in the SPLA claiming that citizens of Equatoria region have refused to enrol in the army.
He warns that if targeted killing of his tribe does not stop in Equatoria, they may run out of tolerance.
The President orders the leaders of Equatoria region to end targeted attacks on the highways leading in and out of Juba.
He warns that should they fail to contain the insecurity situation, he himself will lead a military operation in Yei.
Some members of the Equatoria region say in the social media that they feel coldness in response to President Kiir’s speech, terming it an indicator of danger ahead.
