The Minister of Federal Affairs, Losuba Ludoro Wongo on Wednesday promised safety and unhindered access for humanitarian workers in hard to reach areas.

“The government of the Republic of South Sudan, under the leadership of His Excellency Salva Kiir Mayardit, supports your endeavor and is always ready to continue working with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and the other international agencies present in the country to advance the well-being and the safety of the people of South Sudan,” Ludoro said during commemoration of the 76th International Day of UN Peacekeepers in Juba.

He noted that the government will step up its efforts to facilitate the work of the humanitarian agencies in a collaborative and safe environment in order to ensure that there is peace and stability.

Ludoro said that the government will work hand-in-hand with all the humanitarian workers and other international friends to address the needs of the affected population in the country.

He said the government is doing everything possible to advance the well-being and the safety of the people of South Sudan.

“As we know, we are preparing for elections. His Excellency the President has established a high-level inter-party committee to look into all the necessary conditions in order to usher the people of South Sudan for a free, fair and credible election and we credit the support that the United Nations always renders in this situation,” Loduro said.
