Mogae says no military solution to South Sudan conflict
JUBA (15 Mar.) Radio Tamazuj
Festus Mogae, chairman of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation
Commission (JMEC), a body tasked with overseeing implementation of the
signed peace deal in South Sudan, says the country needs peace, relief
and inclusivity. He pointed out that there can never be a military
solution in South Sudan.
Speaking during a plenary meeting at Crown Hotel in Juba today, Mogae
said how to stop the on-going fighting, starvation and to ensure that
the interests and concerns of all South Sudanese communities are fully
represented, remain a big challenge facing the peace monitoring body.
“I wish to spell out the three defining questions that we as JMEC
faced together right now as we speak. How do we stop the fighting? How
do we stop innocent people dying of starvations? And how do ensure
that the interest and concerns of all South Sudanese communities are
fully represented and considered,” he said.
He further said the insecurity situation and armed violence is a
direct result of the perception and reality of political exclusion
from the peace process.
“The humanitarian crisis now officially a famine with the direct
result of insecurity and armed violence perpetrated by all parties to
the agreement,” Mogae said.
Mogae stressed that there can never be a military solution in South
Sudan, saying sustainable solutions need willingness to listen to all
views and accommodate all constituencies and compromise.
The peace monitor called for cessation of hostilities and immediate
deployment of regional protection force in South Sudan. “There must be
accountability for atrocities committed by both parties in the
country.”
Mogae pointed out that when the people of South Sudan see that their
interests are considered, can bring peace to South Sudan without
imposing it.
He noted that the dialogue initiative called for by President Kiir
must be genuine and sincerely inclusive. “I have reiterated my view,
that the national dialogue must hear and address the views of all the
communities in South Sudan not simply those who agreed with the
government, “Mogae said.
Mogae urged the government to reconsider its revised fees for work
permits to allow humanitarian assistance to the needy people.
“Increase in work permit fees will impair future economic growth and
development through reduction of skills,” he said.
