(Audio in Dinka) South Sudanese former Chief Justice Ambrose Riing Thiik is the leader of the controversial Jiɛ̈ŋ Council of Elders. When the South Sudanese war started, the Jiɛ̈ŋ Council of Elders was accused of fueling the war.  SBS Dinka stringer Daniel Atem interview Ambrose Riing for the first time about the JCE. This interview was first published on 08 Feb 2015. - Daniel: You as Jieng Council Elders met President Kiir because he qualifies to be a member of the council due to his background, what did you told him about the future of this country? Justice Riiny: Well; we supported the President right from day one when he advocated peaceful resolution of the conflict. You will recall as early as Dec 2013; submits were held and he advocated for peaceful resolutions. He has been moving in the last one year and there is nowhere he has not gone to advocating for peace. Peace would have comes long time ago if that was up to President Kiir without Riek demands. There are two reasons that prevented peace. Sometimes I blame the President for decisions that he had made in good faith he allowed the Nuer militia that came from the North. He integrates them to the army so much, so that that allows the Nuer present in the army overwhelming to 65%, 70 percent. This is what went into the mind of Riek that he can overrun Juba within two hours.
