"We Dare where others fear"
By Benjamin Takpiny
President Salva Kiir Mayardit has urged hold-out opposition parties at the Tumaini peace talks to prioritize peace above anything else.
Kiir made these remarks during a pivotal meeting with both government and opposition delegations in Nairobi on Wednesday, according to a statement posted on the Facebook page of the Presidential Press Unit.
It said that the President underscored the critical importance of placing the interests of the people first in order to foster lasting peace and move the country forward towards stability and prosperity.
He also emphasized that unity and a shared commitment to peace must be the guiding principles in the ongoing negotiations to ensure a brighter future for all South Sudanese citizens.
The mediation team, led by seasoned mediator General Lazarus Sumbeiywo, facilitated the discussions between the government delegation and the hold-out opposition parties.
The peace talks, which have been ongoing in the Kenyan capital for three months, have seen promising developments, according to officials closely involved in the process.
