He lamented that the majority of people in Southern Sudan live below the poverty line with inadequate food, tattered shelters, unclean water and no social and economic rights.
Dr. Machar urged government institutions to promote and protect human rights in the region.
He affirmed his government’s commitment to ensure that the people of the south get what they deserve as citizens.
