Kawaja Kau Madol said that the meeting served to mobilise ethnic groups against each other.

Across entire South Sudan ten states, young men are jobless and young men are being encourage by politicians on tribal bases. The bride price had increased which the young men without job could not manage to paid dowry. Meanwhile, senior officials employed their relatives and majority with qualification remain without job which dawn criticisms against the South Sudan ruling party, the SPLM.
