"We Dare where others fear"
By Simon Deng
The parties in the transitional unity government have been urged to step up efforts to implement the pending critical tasks within the 2018 revitalized peace agreement.
“We desire to see South Sudan transiting quickly from politicians based power sharing agreement to people- centered constitution promulgation, multiparty dialogue and election of government leaders,” said a statement issued by the Catholic bishops from Sudan and South Sudan on Thursday in Juba.
The Catholic bishops Sudan issued this statement at the end of a conference that concluded on November 19, 2024 at Kit Good Shepherd Peace Centre.
The bishops also called on the government to remain steadfast in safeguarding the borders including territorial encroachment that could lead to conflict with far-reaching implications among local communities.
“We are equally concerned, by the continuous socio-political and economic crisis in South Sudan which has created humanitarian stress, especially with the civil servants and armed forces not paid their salaries for almost a year,” they said.
They also urged the international community to continue supporting South Sudan to transition from humanitarian dependence towards peace, stability and sustainable development.
