President Kiir has spoken of a “coup attempt” and “criminal actions” whilst Machar refers to the “manufacturing of a coup plot to launch a crackdown against the opposition…the country is to be united and cannot tolerate one man’s rule or it cannot tolerate dictatorship”.
Rais Kiir ameongea juu ya “jaribio la mapinduzi” na “vitendo vya jinai,” huku Machar anazungumza juu ya “utungaji wa njama ya mapinduzi, lengo lake likiwa kuangamiza upinzani… nchi iwe na umoja; haiwezi kuhimili utawala wa mwanamume mmoja au udikteta”.
