Observer says political divisions fuelling South Sudan crisis File photo: Abraham Mariak Albino
A South Sudanese observer has blamed political leaders for the failure to unite their ranks to end the ongoing civil war in the country. Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Wednesday, Abraham Mariak Albino, a political analyst and journalist, said the division within the warring parties in South Sudan is worsening the security and humanitarian situation in the war-ravaged country.He further said the division within the unity government and more divisions within the opposition will not bring an end to the long running civil strife. Albino explained that some leaders support the government in Juba, another fraction is allied to the rebels under Riek Machar, while other groups support SPLM-FDs.He called on the warring parties and all stakeholders to take part in a real political dialogue to end the ongoing conflict in the country. About 100,000 people face starvation in South Sudan, where crop production has plummeted since 2013 as the conflict has killed many people and forced 3.5 million people from their homes.Nearly two million have fled South Sudan due to its ongoing conflict, the worst-ever since it gained independence from neighbouring Sudan in July 2011. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
