The Refugee Commission calls to avoid another deadly crisis in South Sudan – the seventh day

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in South Sudan has warned that the escalation of violence in the state of Upper Nile, the escalation of political tensions in Juba, and other political conspiracies threatening to obstruct the stimulating peace agreement in South Sudan and inflict more pain and suffering to citizens.

The Commission noted that the armed confrontations in Nasser, including the criminal attack on a United Nations plane, which resulted in tragic casualties, including the killing of members of the United Nations crew, must be condemned and considered a war crime.

The Commission stressed that South Sudan must move forward, implement the provisions of the Peace Agreement, strengthen institutions, and build the foundations of democracy, noting an anxious retreat that would erase years of progressive progress.

Instead of fueling the division and conflict, leaders must re -focus urgently on the peace process, support human rights for southern Sudan citizens, and ensure a smooth transition to democracy.

“What we are witnessing now is a return to the struggles of the reckless power that destroyed the country in the past,” said the High Commissioner for Refugees in South Sudan, Barne Avaku, adding, “The people of South Sudan have sufficiently sufficient. They have endured the atrocities and violations of rights that amount to serious crimes, poor economic administration, and increasingly deteriorating security. They deserve comfort and peace, and not another cycle of war.”
