The normalcy security returned in Juba , on the other hand , political situation on hot bonfire , thisJuly peace agreement broken down again , when loyal soldiers of first vice president Riek Machar clashed soldiers of government near presidential palace , more than 200 persons died , thousands fled Juba , took united Nation compounds as sanctuary .Some of East African countries evacuated its citizens from Juba , because the situation not under control ,Riek Machar left Juba to unknown place , refused to return , until deployment third force on the ground , no confidence between two political leaders .South Sudan president didn’t accept proposal of third force ..

There is new situation , when kiir replaced Taban Deng Gai as vice president of South ,many people have to ask , why president replace Taban ? What does mean by this step ? , fighting in South Sudan definitely determine between two tribes , this tribalism division will draw bad picture , it creates deep division , let other Southern communities look at two tribes are reasons of fighting , we should be clear , problem of South Sudan is political issue , mixed by tribalism , because tribe in Africa always exploits to fulfill political aims …

However Silva kiir by this reckless decision will put South in new phase of tension among Nuer them selves , I don’t want to say that , but political situation enforces us to talk about it , if I want or don’t want , Really Riek Machar is political leader ,controversy figure ,his former attitudes brought for him many problems , his suspected ties with regime in Khartoum , in past Riek Machar had signed agreement in 1997 with Omer Albashir during fighting of Sudanese people liberation movement in Sudan , that time Dr John Garrang was leader of political army of Sudan people liberation movement , so kiir has fears , this Riek Machar might threaten his existence in power , both of them have no matter to abuse their tribes to stay on blood bath or to come true bogus ambitions …

This step of replacement never solves , increases enmity , this time Silva kiir wanted to make division between Nuer them selves , I will never agree with some people who say , Riek Machar from minority tribe of Nuer and replaced vice president from majority of Nuer , politics might not solve like this , Southerners need to speak about crisis root ,corruption , monopoly of power on under of corrupt leaders , opportunists ,political climbers whom find benefits in this crisis , South Sudanese president wanted to escape from matters , nor find decisive solutions , he is responsible in front of history and people , there fore , appointment of Taban Deng Gai , it is obstacle not solution yet..
