South Sudanese President Salva Kiir Mayardit has called for a sustainable ceasefire as a crucial step towards bringing stability to Sudan.
Speaking at the Summit of Sudan, in Cairo on Thursday, Kiir outlined a set of recommendations crucial to finding a comprehensive peaceful and political settlement in Sudan while “prioritizing the interests of the Sudanese people.”
The summit aims to set effective frameworks to peacefully settle the crisis in coordination with other regional and international tracks.
The leaders called for continued cooperation, support, and diplomatic efforts to ensure the implementation of the recommendations put forth by President Kiir and other parties involved.
The Minister in the Office of the President, Doctor Barnaba Marial Benjamin said,
It is crucial to bring the various groups and parties together for a fruitful discussion.
“It is important to bring together the different factions and parties to engage in constructive discussions to find a path toward peace,” the Minister stated.
He added that “the solution to the crisis should respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sudan, warning against foreign intervention in Sudan.”
Doctor Barnaba Marial revealed that the priorities in the discussion include finding African solutions to the continent’s crises.
Last month, South Sudan’s President travelled to South Africa to meet his counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, who held talks in Pretoria to discuss “issues of mutual concerns and the ongoing conflict in Sudan.”
