Wani Igga: South Sudan peace deal standing on 'one leg'

JUBA (13 Apr.)

South Sudan’s Vice President James Wani Igga said the 2015 peace agreement
signed with the armed opposition group is now standing on “one leg.”Igga
said this during a public lecture at the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs
in Juba on Wednesday.

He appointed out that the ongoing war is tearing the world’s youngest
nation into pieces, saying South Sudan leaders will be held accountable if
the country collapsed in their hands.“No, we cannot allow our country to be
destroyed in this way. We really have to do something especially leaders of
today. There is need for general amnesty and release of all detained
civilians,” said Igga.“If we allow South Sudan to collapse in our hands, we
the leaders of today without exception being undersecretary or director, it
means you are a leader in that particular government institution,” he added.

The official reiterated his government’s commitment to hold the national
dialogue. “We should be committed as members and leaders of this
government, and transparency is need in the country,” he said.

In October last year, JMEC Deputy Chairman Ambassador Augostino Njoroge
said the peace deal in South Sudan is 'wounded' but not yet dead and he
called it the best remaining hope for sustainable peace.

But the opposition group has repeatedly described the country’s fragile
peace agreement as “dead.”
