Silence the guns and join the renewal of the peace process, IGAD Chairman tells the government of South Sudan and the armed opposition groups.
Workneh Gebeyehu says it is high time for the conflicting parties to work on the revitalization of the peace signed in 2015 without any condition.
The deployment of regional protection force needs urgent attention because it will build confidence, adds Gebeyehu, who is the Ethiopia Foreign Minister.
The Chairman believes that the peace process will heal the wounds of the nation and reconcile South Sudanese.
Gebeyehu was speaking during Inter-governmental Authority for Development opening session in Juba on Monday.
