Vice-president Riek Machar and his supporters fled Juba in July after fighting broke out between government forces and his own. He is a Nuer, and President Salva Kiir is a member of the Dinka. Tribal rivalries are at the heart of the dysfunction of South Sudan's government. The unity the tribes shared in their fight for independence from Sudan has dissolved into bitter conflict, with terrible atrocities committed by both Nuer and Dinka. Both Kiir and Machar have abused their positions and misled their people, keeping many ignorant and uneducated.They have also mismanaged billions of dollars poured into South Sudan by foreign countries. Pray for the two sides to reach agreement in forming a unity government. Pray for both men to be exposed for their lust for power, greed, witchcraft, evil and wickedness.
