Interview with Michael Makuei Lueth
Blaming Everything on Dr. Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon, PhD
Journalist: Honorable Michael Makuei, South Sudan has been experiencing extreme heat waves lately. Do you think climate change is to blame?
Michael Makuei: Climate change? No, no! This is clearly the work of Dr. Riek Machar. Ever since 1991, he has been disrupting the atmosphere, causing unbearable heat in Juba. If he hadn’t rebelled back then, we would have perfect weather today!
Journalist: But there have also been heavy rains and floods recently. How does Dr. Riek Machar fit into that?
Michael Makuei: Ha! You see, when he is not heating up the country, he is flooding it. This is his strategy first, he burns us with the sun, then he drowns us with water. The man is determined to make South Sudan unlivable!
Journalist: Moving on to the economy, inflation is at an all-time high. The South Sudanese Pound is losing value. What is your government doing about it?
Michael Makuei: We are trying our best, but it is difficult when Dr. Riek Machar is behind everything. He destabilized the country, scaring away investors. Even when we print money, it loses value because people fear he might rebel again!
Journalist: There are growing food shortages, and people are struggling to afford basic goods. Who is responsible for this?
Michael Makuei: Dr. Riek Machar, of course! If he had not rebelled, South Sudanese would be eating well by now. He has been blocking the rain when we need it and bringing floods when we don’t. How can crops grow under such sabotage?
Journalist: Some roads have become impassable, and transportation is a major issue. Will the government address this?
Michael Makuei: We would have built good roads, but guess what? Dr. Riek Machar keeps distracting us with his endless demands. Every time we think about development, he causes another problem. That is why South Sudan’s roads are in this state!
Journalist: Security remains a major concern, with armed robberies and criminal activities rising. What’s your take on this?
Michael Makuei: Oh, it’s obvious! Criminals are taking advantage of the chaos Dr. Riek Machar created. When he rebelled in 1991, it planted the seeds of lawlessness. We are simply dealing with the consequences of his actions from decades ago.
Journalist: There are also allegations of political prisoners being held without trial. Does the government have a response to this?
Michael Makuei: You see, if Dr. Riek Machar didn’t exist, we wouldn’t have political prisoners. These people are only in detention because they believe in his false dreams. If he just accepted reality, we wouldn’t have to lock up so many people!
Journalist: Some South Sudanese believe that Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has too much influence over South Sudan. What do you say to that?
Michael Makuei: And who do you think made that happen? Dr. Riek Machar! Because of his constant rebellions, we had to seek external help. If he had behaved himself, South Sudan wouldn’t need guidance from Entebbe!
Journalist: Finally, what message do you have for the people of South Sudan?
Michael Makuei: My fellow South Sudanese, if you want peace, stability, and progress, there is only one thing we must do stop Dr. Riek Machar from causing problems! Until then, don’t ask me about development, infrastructure, or the economy. It’s all his fault!
