I did emphasize that this is not a tribal war because other tribes here were also affected. As I mentioned to you earlier, the sequence started with the Dinka themselves. The Dinka Ngok were targeted, the Murle were targeted, the Shilluk were targeted, the Fartit were targeted, and now the Nuer. You can see the sequence of targeted groups. They are not targeted because they come from that group. They are targeted because somebody in that group has an eye to be the next president. That is the issue that has become very clear.
As I talk to you now, a month ago already, two weeks ago, there has been a movement that is rising in greater Equatoria. They have taken arms against Salva Kiir because of the situation that we are talking about. President Kiir with his group wanted to water down the main issues to look at this conflict as a tribal one so that no others can come in.
For example, if it is truly a tribal war, then none of the world's nations will be part of that because they will see it as people who fight and then resolve their own issues. That's the view that they want to introduce. The issue is not a tribal war. The issue is that President Kiir becomes a dictator, and he doesn't want any reforms to happen in the country—and yet, he is not doing anything to make South Sudan move forward. They have failed in the party and in the government.
The issue of South Sudan is not a tribal war. That's why in both camps you see the Dinkas are in with Riek and the Nuer are also with Salva Kiir. If it were clearly a tribal war, would you want to be with the other person who is fighting your people? Of course not. You would have to stand with your own people. This is what I can say in brief.
