President Salva Kiir Again Asked Dr. Riek Machar To Return To Juba


South Sudan President Salva Kiir Repeated his earlier request for Dr.  Riek Machar to return to Juba and help in implementation of the peace agreement.

Speaking this morning in during the transitional legislative assembly the President reiterated that “In the spirit of this peace agreement and our experience in Rome I once more extend my invitation to Dr. Riek Marcher to return home. I have completely forgiven him and all I ask from him is to become a peace partner for he is no longer my opponent, we have agreed and then we have to work together”
So we expect Riek Machar in Juba by November when he requested for the six months extension to form the interim government. 
More to follow shortly....
