UN envoy calls on South Sudan to establish solid foundation for new state
July 20, 2011 (JUBA) – A top envoy representing the United Nations in South
Sudan has called on the government to establish the newly born nation on a solid foundation and deliver services to its people.
General in an interview with South Sudan TV on Wednesday said the new nation
needed to work on inclusiveness in government, good governance and rule of law in order to secure a solid foundation.
Johnson said there was also need to consider ethnic diversity in the new nation.
She said although there was certain degree of progress for the last six years in
the previous Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS), such progress was “slow” the below expectations for “many reasons.”
Corruption, bureaucracy, poor infrastructure and a largely unskilled workforce have blighted South Sudan’s attempts to develop after a 2005 peace ended decades of conflict.
The envoy, who will be in charge of a 7,000 strong UN peacekeeping force in South Sudan, further said that her mission would support the new country in tackling the issues including security.
She added that the mandate was under Chapter 7, meaning that UN forces would be able to would be able to protect the civilian population in cases when the South Sudan army is “unable or not in position” to act.
The Norwegian diplomat played an important role during the peace talks in Kenya between the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) and the Sudan government represented by the National Congress Party (NCP) which culminated in the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) on January 9, 2005.

hilde johnson, the new independent nation has already been founded on corrupt and soft foundation. nothing has changed. splm/a was founded on corrupt foundation in 1983. goss was also founded on corrupt foundation in 2005. now the new republic is also founded on corrupt foundation. god has distanced himself from the mess by our leaders. even ngundeng has withdrawn his blessing from such corrupt leaders because he saw that the mess has been too messy.

Thank Hilde Johnson. the Gov will be inclusive and that is why we reapointed mr former bashir boyfirend aka Dr nyagat Riek machar.
To those people who don’t know Gatwech He is the one with many names registered on Sudantribune.
His following names are Gatwech tot yuol, Kim deng, liberator, truthteller and logic boy than finaly he is mi dit.
people don’t blame him too much because any names he shoose to names himself is full of fail and lies. you people knew him how he lies alots on this websit. and there is no wounder that he is a lier because he is nuer gens.
I was laughting yesterday when he just throw his words under this artical
Book Review: Waging Peace in Sudan, The Inside Story of the Negotiations
When he just said Riek machar is the one that brought independent to south sudan whereas the artical was’t mention anything about riek or reik’s names.
People Gatwech aka mi dit is a jakass nuer guy who don’t know is identity.
Reik machar is not a person that the world top diplomate can mention in their books or a dmeire.

UN envoy calls on South Sudan to establish solid foundation for new state
I call for the south sudan president to look for south sudan chief justice from outside south sudan!!maybe in west or anywhere but not from jalaba countries..
second to that south sudan government will face different ideologies!! south sudese come from khartoum will jalaba ideas while south sanese from south will have also diference!!there combination of difference rules will mess the system of south sudan goverment!
Dr.john garang, vission is there but south sudanese coming from north sudan knew nothing about john garang vission and maybe they come with omer al bashir vision and this thing will cause great mess in goverment..
Lastly salva kiir to work hard in his goverment to do more and need to listen to senior SPLM like

What! Garang’s vision?
What is this vision? I hate tribal thinking and action… Those folks you talked about as a true visionaries taught by John Garang are mere thiefs and uneducated.. To let you know, John Garang wasn’t God himself, or visionary fellow, he was just a mere gambler like other human beings…
Stop your nonsense and believe whatever your current leaders give to your mouth.. Illiterate
