TORIT, 04 July 2017 [Gurtong] –Last month, a summit of IGAD heads of
State and government decided to convene a meeting of the signatories
of the South Sudan peace agreement to discuss ways to revitalize the
implementation.
The summit decided that the meeting will include all the groups to
discuss concrete measures to restore permanent ceasefire.
In a communiqué issued Tuesday, the IGAD Council of Ministers called
on parties to the peace agreement, to seize this opportunity to
revitalize the deal, renounce violence, to develop, and submit
concrete proposals.
Community Empowerment for Progress Organization has welcomed the IGAD
council of Ministers' decision as it urged the South Sudan conflicting
parties to speedily take strong stand for following the pathway for
non-violent approach for resolving their political differences.
Mr. Edmund Yakani, Executive Director of CEPO said in a statement
extended to Gurtong Tuesday that non-violent pathway for resolving
political difference in South Sudan should be the best approach and it
should be embraced by both the country’s conflicting parties.
"... Taking the violent approach for resolving political difference is
unacceptable because it is destructive to both human lives and
properties."
The CEPO's Executive Director expressed that resolving political
differences amicably should be adopted and should remain a culture for
championing democratization in South Sudan by the political movement
and elites.
"We are expecting the IGAD called forum to be executed in
participatory and representative manner that allows South Sudanese to
resolve their political difference as their primary responsibility,"
Mr. Yakani stressed.
