He also will meet Sudanese Community organizations, Church leaders, and activists to brief them about the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) with focus on the referendum scheduled to take place early next year which is likely to create the world’s newest state.

    It is good now that H.E. Salva Kiir has scaled down the army of ministers and advisors who were about to travel with him to USA to kneel down before Obama and his adminstration and the UN Security Councilors for a weaklink’s help against the NCP sabotage on the referndum conduct. I am glad that US has promised that it will respect the choice of the people of Southern Sudan in the referendum; not that of the politicians or politcal parties. May God bless South Sudan with independence and lasting peace! Amen

    To
    H. E. Pres. of GoSS Gen. Kiir, and all the compatriots heros of South Sudan. Your message should be VERY CLEAR and LAUD to Pres. Obama and GS. Ban. Military options should be available on the table from the the SPLM/A for ensuring that the referendum is implemented accordingly by the North. Obama should put the policy of Former Pres. G W Bush in the table for Sudan.
    Tell the President we as Southerners are ready to govern our selves and it is enough for us to go back to war in the new 10 years.

    Dear General Kiir you are the only hope that Southerners look upon at this time to cross them the river of referendum.

    Travel safe and God Bless you all.

    H.E Kiir wish you a save journey to USA & inform the international community,UN and president Obama in particular that NCP commit genocide and related crimes against humanity. This is evidenced by actions the government has taken in the western region of Darfur, the Nuba Mountains, and the South that include:

    • Use of mass starvation and mass forcible displacement as a weapon of destruction;
    • Pattern of obstructing humanitarian aid;
    • Harassment of internally displaced persons;
    • Bombing of hospitals, clinics, schools, and other civilian sites;
    • Use of rape as a weapon against targeted groups;
    • Employing a divide-to-destroy strategy of pitting ethnic groups against each other, with enormous loss of civilian life;
    • Training and supporting ethnic militias who commit atrocities;
    • Destroying indigenous cultures;
    • Enslavement of women and children by government-support militias;
    • Impeding and failing to fully implement peace agreements.
