“This week, the caravan of peace took off and I encouraged all parties to stay on board, reconcile and heal the people of South Sudan. The people of South Sudan, the region and the international community are eagerly waiting for the guns to be silent so that those in refugee camps can go back to their homes.” He continued.

According to the armed opposition, the next engagements of SPLM party will be bilaterally negotiated by the two major warring factions of SPLM.
“Our leadership has welcomed the expected resumption of the reunification process in Arusha. This time it will be a bilateral engagement between the opposition’s SPLM and the government’s SPLM. Former detainees have become part and parcel of the government,” said James Gatdet Dak, the Spokesperson of SPLM-IO chairman, Dr. Riek Machar.

What have the G10 brought to the people of South Sudan? Nothing,other than acquisition of their former positions, which ultimately takes us back to square one, and never benefits the citizens. The war hasn’t stopped and are suffering under the same dictator who killed the people who voted him in office. What guarantee is there, to prevent an outbreak of hostilities again in the country. What a shame we are going through in a country that has not fixed a single issue, as a root cause of the conflict since July 2013 and indeed the massacres of Dec.15th.2013.
