Ibrahim Wani, director of Human Rights in South Sudan for the United NationsThe intuition expression here came as result of statements and reports given by the leaders of government of South Sudan as if there was nothing happened in the nation.

Irreparable damage and atrocities committed are being denied by the system. Irreconcilable attitude of the government of South Sudan is a stumble block to any progress in achieving just peace. You could observe this in the speech of minister of information and broadcast, Mr. Makuei Lueth in Nairobi, when he says '' even if some people say that he (Kiir) mismanaged the affairs of South Sudan, he was democratically elected''

Critical analyses suggested that Mr. Makuei is saying that President Kiir has high immunity and had full rights to kill his subjects without question, and nobody should ask for his removal and citizens must not think in this way to remove a democratically elected government. Whether the nation is in hemorrhaging condition, Kiir is still legitimate President, and even if all people finished in South Sudan, Kiir will remain legal president. Yes, he will remain a president of heartless and criminal people and animals in bushes that have no qualifications to lead except the master of jungle.

Irresponsible behavior of minister Makuei exposed his immaturity in politics and discreditably to be spokesman of the government of South Sudan. No one is above the law and the President is not an angel that cannot be approached and held accountable for crimes committed under his leadership. President Kiir massacred his subjects in sight of parliamentarians because they are toothless, for they were supposed to impeach him immediately.

How come the Legislative Assembly allowed Kiir to train special guards from one ethnic group without question, and these guards were the people who caused genocide in Juba. Noticeable up to this moment, no condemnation was made by Legislative Assembly to challenge what happened in Juba.
The public must know that the folk they elected to represent them in parliament were there in passive and dormant position to protect their selfish interests, even though the masses who voted them are being slaughtered like chicken.

Look to the statement uttered by vice president Wani Iga that ''no Transitional Government without Kiir'', what does this childish position imply? It shows that Wani cannot manage the affairs of the nation without his God- angel Kiir. In other words, he wants Kiir to complete Nuer together with Riek so that he may not surface again to claim his leadership position within SPLM party if worse comes. This is the argument of low esteemed person who cannot stand alone.

President Kiir shouts from the bottom of his heart that'' I'm still president of South Sudan''. What is a jack without shame from big man like Kiir who know the tribulation and agony of war he imposed on people? Sensible person will know that Kiir is warlord who trundled to create his empire in South Sudan.
The President should know that South Sudan is in Constitutional Vacuum and State of Emergency that need quick solution before the nation totally collapses which will be count on his bad records.

The SPLM party does not want Kiir to leave leadership for the sake of peace and tranquility and brotherhood , despite they know that president Kiir had destroyed the image of the party world-wide by his poor performances and weak style of leadership that change his speeches and decision when pressurized by elites who controlling his government.
Painful the South Sudan has becomes dustbin for many dead bodies are rotten in sight of the government. SPLM government is fanatic even they saw people famished, they never take courageous decision to rescue the situation because inflicted pain is not experience by their children.

Another dilemma, some Dinkas seem to see that if President Kiir lose the leadership to someone else, it means Dinka has lost. This phobia is unrealistic because before Kiir become president Dinka enjoy status quo in the South Sudan.

The deceptive decision made by the government of South Sudan, in which they announced to blind the public that the war is not between Dinka and Nuer, it was the only thing that kept the government to remain in power to this end. In case if other communities were clear that war is between two rivalry communities, they would have quit frontlines, arguing that why do they die for sake of one particular tribe and situation would have been different today.

For the South Sudan to surmount deformation, the leadership within the government, opposition parties, SPLM party, and renegade group must admit that their problem that need to be address by all for welfare of entire nation, and people must avoid resistance position that said we are liberators. What I know all southerners had participated in liberation, and no one have right to blackmail others. The pit some of us are trying to dig by now, all of us will fall into it. Let every organization in South Sudan transform itself into national entity rather than ethnical entity.

South Sudan is deformed nation to be reform because no ethnic group that will accept constructive criticism from member of other communities and no signal tribe that will challenge its member who committed heinous mistakes. Let me illustrate this point with few examples, some years back in Juba, one minister was accused of corruption and was put into custody for investigation, but his tribal mob stormed the police station and took the man out by force, and that was the need of the case.

Again, in Wau lawyer sentence a criminal to prison and the family of criminal had threatened the lawyer to death and he had to escape the place for his life. This is clear indication that the law is in the hand powerful people in South Sudan, and it is only applicable to weak people, for powerful people are above the law.

Irreversible mentality of gangsters within the government of South Sudan is a clear indication that people were massacred intentionally to let them remained in their positions. Indeed, the initiated killers must be protected so that they may continue governing masses deceptively.

Ibrahim Wani, director of Human Rights in South Sudan exclaimed that Southerners must rethink that ''there is something larger than the individual, something larger than ethnic group and that together they can actually build South Sudan where everybody aspiration and dreams can be realized so that the younger generation in South Sudan will not again face the kind of catastrophe that today's generation had faced''

I think what Wani exclaimed will be attained if nationalism spirit control our daily life in all governmental institutions, because most departments in Juba and all states are families, clans, and tribe entity that never portrayed the image of nation or state that should encompassed all citizens.

Sorry to argue that these younger generations were already infected by virus that is killing this generation unless they discover that their fathers are cause of downfall of South Sudan and they refuse to consume blood money earned by their fathers. For most offspring's are enjoying stolen funds from South Sudan abroad.

South Sudan nation is deformed to be reformed because the behaviors of its leaders are off-put and moronic in character.

To reform South Sudan into a viable state, we must deal with those giants diseases called corruption, nepotism, favoritism, segregation, tribalism, disunity, inter-tribal conflicts and insecurity. In case if those giants are not addressed thoroughly then we will remain deformed for the rest of our life until Jesus come back.
