S.Sudan govt ‘had enough’ of rebel leader: spokesman

ADDIS ABABA, June 22, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – South Sudan’s information minister
said Friday the country’s rebel leader could not rejoin government, dealing a
blow to hopes that the latest talks in Ethiopia might bring peace.

“We have had enough of Riek Machar,” said Michael Makuei, referring to the
rebel chief. “As the people of South Sudan, not the president alone, but as
the people of South Sudan, we are saying enough is enough.”
