The leader of the People Liberal Party is calling on the government to lift the state of emergency declared in the former conflict affected states in January 2014.
It is irrelevant that the state of emergency should continue as there is already peace in the country, Peter Mayen tells Radio Bakhita.
He calls on both parties to release the prisoners of war as there is no reason for them to remain in detention.
The Party leader warns that continued disagreements over cantonment areas in the Equatoria and Bahr El Ghazal regions poses threats to the population.
