Foundation for Democracy and Accountable Governance or FODAG, a community based organization is urging government and SPLM/A in Opposition to include, consult and inform every South Sudanese on the dragging peace process in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In a Community Peace Forum held in Juba on Friday, the agency blasts the warring parties for excluding the civil population from putting in views for decision making for a sustainable peace and stability in South Sudan.
FODAG Executive Director Jame David says disseminating information to ordinary citizens including persons with disabilities about peace process is crucial for achievement of sustainable peace as democratic governance requires.
He demands inclusivity of those with disabilities to avoid limiting information access to elites in Juba to undermine contributions from the ordinary people.
Hearing impaired South Sudan Women with Disability’s Network Chairperson Atim Caroline demands recognition and respect for the vulnerable people in communities.
She wonders why the warring parties continue to pay deaf ears to calls for end of conflict.
Visually impaired Association Secretary-General Augustino Longulo says things are not going according to people’s will in South Sudan.
He demands for reformation of institutions and services to vulnerable persons with disabilities.
The Community Peace Forum is expected to go countrywide to contribute to peace achievement in South Sudan.
