July 2, 2019 (NAIROBI) – Kenya’s former vice president, Kalonzo Musyoka has been appointed as a special envoy for peace in war-torn South Sudan.

: Kalonzo Musyoka

The Kenyan opposition leader was appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Foreign Affairs ministry said.

“His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, President of the Republic of Kenya has appointed Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, the former Vice President as his Special Envoy to the Republic of South Sudan,” partly noted the July 2 letter.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs congratulates Dr Kalozo Musyoka on his appointment and stands ready to support the Special Envoy in the delivery of his mandate,” it adds.

The appointment of the opposition letter, the letter stated, demonstrates Kenya’s commitment towards shared prosperity in the region and to the pursuit of lasting peace and security in South Sudan through the acceleration of the implementation of the Revitalized-Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan.

Musyoka’s new role came at the time when the South Sudanese President Salva Kiir ended a two-day visit to the East African country.

On Monday, Kiir was hosted at State House by Kenyatta, who called on South Sudanese leaders to take advantage of current peace in the country for economic and social development gains.

In September last year, South Sudan’s rival factions signed a revitalized peace agreement to end the country’s civil war that killed tens of thousands of people and displaced more than 2 million.

Dr. Misyoka IS NOT an opposition leader, he’s just another man like Raila Odinga who’s trying to remain RELEVANT....

    Midit Mitot,
    My brotherly advice to you as a Nuer is, fight for own independent Naath Republic cuz SS is fucked up. You will hope for ages and expect nothing. Something cant come from Nothing. If the jienge cant develop his own jienge homelands, what the fuck does he bother about SS? Forget. We Equatorians have decided- We have to Go!

        Anthony,
        
        You are the only foolish Nyam-Nyam in this country, look, more than 100 of Equatorian civilians have murdered since the violent erupted an yet never react as man. You don,t know your civil and political rights.

  Mr. Eastern,
  It depends on what side of the fence you are on to brand others countries policians trying to remain "RELEVANT". You have been rooting for murderers like Mr. Riek Machar and his allies who done a lot of damage to South Sudanese social fabric since 1991 to date with his ceaseless quest for power at all costs, however the lowlife and his backers have been known to be nothing but bunch of incompetents and tribalists who dabble in Ngundeng Buong magic and superstitions. Mr. Eastern>>>>

    Kenyans have never always wish South Sudan and South Sudanese bad luck. They used to have what is called ’non-alliance’ or interference in other countries affairs. But subtly, they do some allied themselves to the US and the UK. But some these days, the game has changed considerably. The criminals in the US, the UK, evil juus creeps (so-called israelis) and some creeps in the UN and the NGOs who always set up other countries against each other and then turned around as some kind of messiahs and experts about other countries when in fact they hardly know anything about other countries>>>
    - 4 July 2019 04:29, by Pakuai
      
      If our so-called PhD doctors like Mr. Riek Machar and his allies didn’t create this mess, then Kenyans, the US, the UK, UN, their sleazy NGOs and their evil juus (so-called israeli) attack dogs wouldn’t have a chance to poke their usual evil long noses into our country’s internal affairs. But here we are. Mr. Riek Machar, Pagan Amuom, Thomas Cirrilo, Majak Agoot, Adwok Nyabe and Lam Akol are on records asking South Sudan to be given up to the UN, NGOs, the African Union and IGAD countries to rule out country and our people----the TRUSTEESHIP of South Sudan by foreign powers in other words. But the foreign puppets/stooges can damn go to hell>>>>
      - 4 July 2019 06:15, by Pakuai
        
        South Sudan is not for sale. Mr. Eastern, Mr. Salva Kiir and his bunch of lowly informed mob have a hand in our current mess. Why did they let the foreign puppets/stooges and traitors get away with murder and high treason?. Mister, if Mr. Riek Machar, Pagan Amuom, Adwok Nyabe, Lam Akol, Thomas Cirillo, Majak Agoot and other bunch of sellouts were to be Kenyans, Ugandans, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) or our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, then the traitors and foreign puppets/stooges would be in jail or hanged by now>>>>

        But this is South Sudan. A country that was created with the US, the UK, their evil juus (so-called israelis) dollars and the whole world well wishes and was to be the *NEW YORK, DUBAI, LONDON, SHANGHAI, HONG KONG or PARIS* if the SUB SAHARAN AFRICA?!!. Good luck to the creeps. Mr. Eastern, let me tell you this ’story’. A few years ago. There was a disputed elections in Kenya between Raila Odinga, Mr. Kolonzo Musyoka and Mr. Musualli Mdavaddi collision of NASA and Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, Jubilee party>>>>
        
        4 July 2019 06:45, by Pakuai
        
        NASA accused the Jubilee party of stealing their ’elections’ and ’staged a lot of sit-in protests’ in Uhuru parks, Western Kenya, Ukambani county and Costal province. But Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto’s Jubilee party didn’t budged. Mr. Raila Odinga made an *absurd decision* "sworned himself in as an alternative president" in Uhuru park without his ’co-NASA alliance leaders of Kolonzo Musyoka and Mr. Mdavaddi. Mr. Raila Odinga was called to the devil infested lsland of England to go and give lectures at "Cambridge and offord universities" and then came back to Kenya and formed their so-called "handshake" with Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta>>>
        
        4 July 2019 06:59, by Pakuai
        
        Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta appointed Mr. Raila Odinga as his so-called *envoy to Africa infrastructures* and he is these days seen mingling with African head of states, in Adis Ababa however, he is not a head of state, with his Uhuru Kenyatta. Here we go!!!. Mr. Eastern, has Mr. Raila Odinga bus or train reached "Canaan yet"?. Mr. Eastern piece of trash. We know you lowly informed losers than you losers think you know. Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, part Luo has some relation with the DInkas/Muonyjiengs of the Sudan, but the charlatan and his sponsors have step on the wrong people feet>>>>

        Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, UNIMISS, the UN, their sleazy NGOs, his own administration chosen ambassador to South Sudan, Susan Paige, UN ambassador, Susan Rice and his another UN ambassador to the UN, l don’t want name the bitch were sent to South Sudan to come and lecture the government of South Sudan and the South Sudanese people about nonsenses and threats. Mr. Barack Hussein Obama came to Kenya and Abesh (so-called ethiopia) in 2015, came and picked his pieces of trash from "Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Somalia, Abesh (so-called ethiopia), Chad, South Africa, Nigeria, North Sudan and other bunch of creeps in between" and lecture these creeps about South Sudan and the South Sudanese people’s problems without the South Sudanese people>>>

        Mr. Eastern piece of trash, we are way too well ahead of these cheap and dirty intrigues. Barack Hussein Obama, Raila Odinga, Uhuru Kenyatta, Riek Machar, Lam Akol, former Abesh (so-called ethiopia), Mr. Mesfin, Former South African president, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, current Rwandan president, Mr. Paul Kagame, former Nigerian president, Mr. Olusogan Obasanjo and some other foreign creeps who called themselves former African statement are globalists and are the payroll of the US, gulf Arab states, the UN, their sleazy NGOs, their evil juus (so-called israelis) in cluding Barack Hussein Obama, Raila Odinga, Kolonzo Musyoka just want to joint the ranks>>>

Kill every Bantus in Central Kenya of Nanyuki, Laikipia, Naivasha, Nairobi, evil white Americans, English people, their evil juus (so-called israelis), Indians, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians), reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. Mr. Eastern, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta allowed Mr. Riek Machar to stage a rally at a five star hotel of Safari Park in 2015 and Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta let this Riek Machar got away with it>>>>

        Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr. Raila Odinga were asked by their spobo from the *the US, the UK, their evil juus (so-called israelis), their UN, their NGOs and some of their creeps in between staged another show *with their DR Congo loser*, where Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga with the directives of their masters *held their rally just like they did in in five star hotel of Safari Park, but in another five star hotel of the ’hotel incontinental’* Mr. Joseph Kabila refused to let the creeps and their foreign backers play ball with his country. Ebola was ’propagated’ to have killed thousands in DR Congo and on the verge to turn to Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan>>>

        Mr. Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta went and attained their *DR Congo* SWEARING IN. My arse. Mr. Eastern, South Sudan is a Dinkas/Muonyjieng of the Sudan country. So does our North Sudan and Southern Egypt. We are too much for these vermin. I am the one who will again bomb you * freeloaders* out of our "Kiirtuom/Khartoum and Eastern Jerusalem and give it to Palestinians. Islam is not a religion, never has been a region. Abesh (so-called ethiopia) would be destroyed by us. Take back our Gambella region, bomb Djibouti, the US, French army bases into RED SEA with the *lands* they are currently on before we bomb the evils with *Yemen and Saudi Arabia* to near EXTINCTION, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM>>>>

        Mr. Eastern,
        There are some losers who just think, others are equal with them, when they are not anyone. The British people often lie that the only country they *bombed under 40 minutes* was Zanzibar in Africa. Mwalimu Jules Nyarere ’united Tanganyika and Zanzibar’----and this is why there is ’Tanzania’ to day. Dar El Salam, is today’s the Tanzania ’commercial city’, other cities like Arusha, Dodoma and often created by the Tanzania government to not make their citizens feel their government is playing with them in capital cities>>>>

        Mwalimu Jules Nyarere with superior Tanzanian boys and girls experimented ’communism and socialism (Ujamaa villages) in their country. And it wirks. Tanzania social cohesion is what many losers from the US like Barack Hussein Obama always want to try and copy cat it in Tanzania. Fellows. Be very careful.

Here in my home town of Bor, Jonglei, Dr. John Garang used to drive tractors growing rice. Before 1983 May, the 16 SPLM/A revolution. Fellows. We are the ’ancient Egyptians’. We are the masters of ’longshot warfares’. We have a lot Cattle here than Uganda, Kenya, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians), our cloned so- arabs of North Sudan combined, but our enemies always lie that South Sudanese are dying of hunger>>>

        Fellows, the so-called *AFRICA AND REGIONAL INTEGRATION* being touted by our enemies over the back of SOUTH SUDAN AND SUDANESE PEOPLE isn’t going to happen. Fellows, South Sudan is not part of so-called ANGLO-AMERICAN empire, never has and wi never ever will. And South Sudanese people are not the so-called ANGLO-AMERICAN slaves or subjects, never haver and will never ever will. We are not equal with Bantuses who worship white people and Arabs, we are too much for these vermin. We have informed these lowlives to ’remove their rubbishes’ out of South Africa, Kenya, South Sudan, Abesh (so-called ethiopia) and North Sudan>>>>

You couldn’t be any clearer, sure Jubaone and rest of his cowards (with no pride in their own tribe but smear themselves with Equatoria, We Equatoria...) will get it. They can sing "Equatoria" day in and night out, they will never change anything, let alone dividing South Sudan.
