Buhari, the Vanguard newspaper reported, made these remarks during a
meeting with South Sudan’s envoy, Paul Malong Akaro in the capital,
Abuja.
"I was a little disappointed with the subsequent developments in your
country. I was hoping that we can move forward and develop the great
potentials of your country after the peace accord," said Buhari.
"The African Union will continue to hold your leaders to account in
implementing the peace process. And the leaders should be able to
accommodate one another for the good of your people,’’ he added.
South Sudan’s peace process, Buhari said, will be more effective if
implemented by the country’s leaders without external intervention.
South Sudan experienced renewed violence in July this year when forces
loyal to President Salva Kiir clashed with those allied to his main
political rival and the former First Vice-President, Riek Machar.
Both Kiir and Machar were part of a Transitional Government of
National Unity (TGoNU) necessitated by the August 2015 peace
agreement.
The two rival faction leaders have agreed on several peace deals, but
failed to control their troops, hence affecting implementation of the
peace deal.
Akaro, however, said South Sudan government was committed to
implementing a peace deal signed by warring sides in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia.
Latest estimates from aid agencies say at least 4.6 million people
across the country are facing hunger, amid fears food crisis might
deepen as the conflict has now spilled into the Equatoria regions.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) recently accused South
Sudan’s two warring sides of committing crimes against humanity
including killings, rape, torture and the use of child soldiers.

Son of Nuer,
All those that you have mentioned above are all rebels and
they have nothing beneficial to South Sudanese citizens. They are
power greedy leaders and they will die like slave in foreign
countries. South Sudanese people have forget those rebels in their
mind if you are still remembering them. They are forgotten in South
Sudan history

Mitot,
Yes I agree, South Sudan will not have peace and stability
because we have Nuer militias who beleived on doom prophesy of Riek
Machar become President of South Sudan like Boko Haram of Nigeria
under Abubaker Shiek-Kau. Nuer militias are ISIL of South Sudan for
your information. Unless we get rig of them out of South Sudan then
South Sudan will feel peace at all level of life

South Sudan will achieve peace only if dissolution is done for so
called councils of elders. With/without present or absence of the
current leadership

S.Sudan Nationalist,
It is polite to be deplomatic but the truth of the matter is
those who are responsible for the mess in the country are Jieng
Council of Elders members plus Kiir and no body should carry the cross
for this calamity in the country.

The collaboration between Kiir and Taban is just a
farce.....fighting, displacements and killing of civilians continue
unabated. The two evil men in Juba will be held to account for their
action in future. JMEC is also responsible for letting world get
hoodwinked that a peace agreement is being implemented in South Sudan
while it’s not!

Mr.President Muhammadu surely you know the situation of South
Sudan Mr.Kiir and his mediocres Taban are responsible for the collapse
of peace in SS and they will be held accountable leave Akaro who
claimed that the government is implementing the peace the question is
implementing with whom? The able Dr.Riek with his forces are nolonger
in Juba
