Rebecca Garang’ during the interview in Nairobi.

NAIROBI: On Wednesday last week, Riek Machar addressed a press conference in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, where he issued an ultimatum to South Sudan President Salva Kiir to quit. Machar, a rebel leader from the volatile nation that recently celebrated its fourth independence anniversary, said Kiir’s tenure was illegitimate and unconstitutional.

“The SPLM would therefore like to categorically declare the government of Salva Kiir, the National Legislature and the State Government and the State Legislative Assemblies as unconstitutional and illegitimate as of midnight of July 8, 2015. The SPLM/SPLA appeals to President Salva Kiir to resign from office and dissolve his entire government,” he said.
