This comes hard on the heels of the surprise defeat of The Gambian strongman, Yahya Jammeh in elections many thought he would win.
Jammeh has called the victor and conceded defeat, saying he hoped he would succeed.
This is divorced from the messy succession scandals and bloody regime changes that have been the hallmark of many African nations.
We hope Salva Kiir Mayardit is watching and he will take a leaf from the two leaders, who had ruled for a combined 59 years.
We hope SPLM and Salva can learn from The Gambia and Angola that is possible to hand over power without inclination on naked violence and humans cleansing.
The era of African strongmen is coming to an end and Salva Kiir, in the twilight of his career, needs to ensure that when he eventually goes, the process would be smooth with no bloodletting.
The government needs to know that resorting to violence to make a political point is barbaric, uncivilized and archaic.
Political violence gives the country a bad name and vindicates people who are wary of African leaders.
Jammeh had been in power for 22 years and he controlled every facet of power so much that he could simply have refused to accept the election results and pushed out the winner.
But he chose the honorable route and walked away without a fight.
The same goes with dos Santos, who has been in power for 37 years, he could have chosen to die in power, as the country is now synonymous with him, but he chose to walk away peacefully next year.
While these men can be accused of some despicable acts during their respective tenures, the fact that they chose to walk away will ensure that they are forever respected.
The winds of change are sweeping across Africa and Beny Kiir Kuethpiny should realize this.
Salva Kiir’s reputation is in tatters, but if he were to walk away now, he will ensure that he restores his honor somewhat.
President Salva Kiir Mayardit can give South Sudanese perfect gift by walking away and handing over power in an orderly manner, just as African counterparts dos Santos and Jammeh have done.
We must Shout VIVA !!!
