"I didn’t come here to talk, I came here to basically say, the time for action is now. We are not waiting anymore. We need to see a change, and we need to see it right away and there is nothing that they can say at this point. We have lost trust in the government and we now need to regain that trust, and the only way to gain that trust is through the actions of taking care of all of the people. President Kiir is the president of everyone, not just one tribe, not just one group. And in order to be a leader, you have to be willing to take care of all of your people. So it was a harsh message but on the other side he listened, he accepted, and he promised that we will see changes. …. Thank you very much; you know one thing we want to tell the people of South Sudan, we are not going to forget you. We are not going to put this issue away; we are not going turn a blind to them. We have heard the stories, we know the actions, and we know the tragedy, and we know that healing is going take a very long time, but the United States is not going give up on the people of South Sudan."
