August 8, 2016 (JUBA)- South Sudan president, Salva Kiir, has called
for a homegrown solution to the conflict which has ravaged the
country, saying it was now time for everyone to show commitment to
help in the restoration of peace and stability in the country.

“Peace is not a responsibility of the leaders alone. It is a
collective responsible and everybody must join hands for the sake of
peace and national reconciliation,” said president Kiir on Sunday.
“All communities must come together in peace, not hatred. It is time
all the people show commitment to national reconciliation. Rather than
looking for a solution from foreign countries we can find our own
solution with which we can be proud of and present as an example to
others,” he added.
Referring to the 1999 Wunlit peace initiative between ethnic Nuer and
Dinka, Kiir said there was nothing impossible to stop people from
coming together if they show interest to reconcile and live
peacefully.
“When communities decided in 1999 to come together, nobody stopped
them. They went ahead and the result was the outcome of Wunlit peace
initiative. It was an important milestone,” he explained.
President Kiir said his government remained ready and committed to
strengthening public service with livelihood support and the expansion
of delivery of basic services as means of the solution to the problem
in the country once peace and stability is restored.
The head of state was speaking to some members of Jieng [Dinka]
Council of Elders [JCE] who visited him at his residence after the
government delegation led by his new first vice president, Taban Deng
Gai, returned from a regional summit in the Ethiopian capital of Addis
Ababa, and briefed him of the outcome.
The IGAD regional body resolved to send a third party force to Juba to
provide security for the capital.
United Nations will on Friday discuss and possibly pass a resolution
on the deployment of thousands of protection force to take charge in
the capital, including Juba airport.

The current conflict is more than Dinka-Nuer affair; the conflict
has sucked in the Equatorians, Fertit, Shilluk and other nationalities
- it’s a national problem which cannot be resolved using the 1999
Wunlit model where a few Bulls were slaughtered to appease Dinka and
Nuer blood deities. The curren conflict requires a third party pair of
hands!!
