People of South Sudan will no longer accept false promises

 

In a statement issued over the weekend after its meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, the Council says peace will require commitment and sacrifice.

 

‘Since the war began in December 2013, several agreements have been signed but never fully implemented, and as a result, our country remains in despair,’ the statement reads.

 

The tragic dimensions of the problems of South Sudan need an immediate and lasting cessation of hostilities and nothing less,’ it stresses.

 

The council pledges to work continually for peace in South Sudan and encourages people to remain hopeful because tranquility will return to the country. 

 

It encourages all of people to hold on to faith and hope, trusting wholeheartedly that peace will return to the country sooner rather than later.
