"We Dare where others fear"
By Staff Writer
The Executive Director of the Centre for Peace and Advocacy (CPA), Ter Manyang Gatwech, has urgently called on the African Union (AU), the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), the European Union (EU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and the East African Community (EAC) to take decisive action in supporting South Sudan to fully restore and implement the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS).
“The CPA is deeply concerned about the deteriorating political climate, marked by a lack of political tolerance and an absence of genuine political will—both of which are essential to moving the country forward,” Gatwech said on Monday.
He added that the current political stagnation leaves the people of South Sudan in a precarious situation with no clear path in or out.
“This is particularly alarming for a country already facing humanitarian, economic, and governance challenges. We are stuck,” said Gatwech.
He stated that the people of South Sudan are trapped in a cycle of uncertainty.
“This is dangerous for a nation that struggles to meet the basic needs of its citizens. Without swift international support and pressure to fully implement the R-ARCSS, the situation could spiral beyond control.”
He urged international and regional bodies to redouble their efforts in engaging South Sudanese stakeholders, mediating political disagreements, and ensuring that all parties are held accountable to the commitments made under the peace agreement.
