Machar asks for the international community to help reconcile warring communities Thursday, 12 January 2012 10:25 South Sudan >>> .The Vice President of the Republic of South Sudan, Riek Machar, has called on the international organizations working in the new nation to help reconcile the warring communities in the trouble Jonglei State.
This stems from the unending inter-communal clashes mainly between the Lou Nuer and the Murle youth in Jonglei State since August 2011. Machar made the appeal while addressing representatives from over 30 countries from Asia, Europe, America, Africa and Middle East in a dialogue in India. The dialogue that started on 8th ends on 12th January 2011 and focuses on making democracy a reality as well as reconciling warring communities. Machar said South Sudan is developing better ways of promoting democracy and good governance, including the constitution making process and decentralization of governance. At the moment, South Sudan is operating with a transitional constitution that has been in place since independence on July 9th. However, President Salva Kiir Mayardit recently issued a decree to officially form the National Constitutional Review Committee whose sole responsibility will be to formulate the permanent constitution for the new nation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
