At the meetings South Sudan is expected to be officially recognized and awarded with the certificate of membership to the world body as the 193rd country.

The region formally gained its independence last Saturday following its peoples’ overwhelming vote for independence in the referendum conducted in January of this year, in accordance with the 2005 peace accord which ended 21 years of war between North and South Sudan.

Upon his arrival in New York on Tuesday evening, South Sudan vice president, Riek Machar, held his first meeting at the United Nations premises with the minister of foreign affairs in Germany, Guido Westerwelle. The meeting discussed bilateral issues between Germany and the Republic of South Sudan.

Machar was accompanied to the US by the caretaker minister of foreign affairs,
Deng Alor Kuol, finance and economic planning minister, David Deng Athorbei, and Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, head of the Republic of South Sudan Mission to the United States.

    Dear Commentators,

    I hope VP Mr.divorced Machar will likely to received warm welcome from New York and I warn him not to interfered with the affairs of newly Republic of Suoth Sudan as he was the icon of people promoting corruption in the former GoSS which was recnetly Republic of South Sudan.

    May Deng Alor and Deng David Athorbei directed him no matter of big position he holds.

    Enjoy luxurious in New York Please

    All writers or commentators from Dinka are first learned how to comments or write when talking against Dr. Riek Machar. Dinka being warns that Riek got people and tribe that like him so much or that proud to being fighters than anyone. But that is not the case, if you Dinka want to forget about happiness of our new nation and keep pointing your big mouths and many more lost teeth of Ngundeng cures after Dinka Bor stolen Ngundeng’s (nalops seeds) than we will determined from now onward.

    Don’t wast your time by claiming Dr. Riek is a killer, many southerness leaders are not perfect including Late Dr. Garang. Garang was first killer. Riek Machar is not a killer is noncent, those who were died in Madieng Bor were not kill by Riek, the die with pioson which they swallowed with their big mouth.

    No body will slaughter Riek like Chickens if it is happen, Dinka should leave southsudan.It should worse than 1991 war,let me remind you those who killed Dinka bor is not
    Riek but the Lou Nuer clan not all clans too, but small subclan . Don,t blaim him for that just shut your big mouth if not it will blow fire.

    Hard work; not too much to ask, was it? Your Excellency, although your account of trustworthy was questionable and had in the past has been put to trials in may occasions, so far you outweighs those trials and individuals attempts to curbs your very work which does not serves your individual interest, rather the paramount interest of South Sudanese.
    Your work so far is a superb and highly influential account of progressive society, which we should all be living freely with basic education, human dignity that was never afforded to us by Arabs, security and protections from arbitrarily laws imposed on us by Arabs. Since, I am a free man, I call for the following reforms during your tenure, sir Machar; Taxation laws reforms, Security law, Anti-foreign acquisitions laws, Environmental laws, judicial independence, Criminal laws and criminal justice, Uniform Family Laws and laws with respect to environmental protection for example.

    With, great regard, Sir;
    Your humble South Sudanese;
