Statement by the Spokespersons on the signature of the security arrangements in South Sudan

BRUSSELS, Belgium, November 4, 2015/APO (African Press Organization)/ —

The agreement of the parties of the South Sudan conflict, signed today in Addis Ababa, on the details of security arrangements is a significant moment in bringing peace to South Sudan.

Despite some delays, the parties could finally find room to compromise and we thank the IGAD mediation for their tenacity.

We look forward to supporting the full  implementation of the Agreement for the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan.

We stand ready to support President Mogae’s leadership of the implementation phase and look forward to the speedy installation of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission.

Only this will bring some respite to the people of South Sudan who are still victims of horrendous atrocities and facing a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented magnitude.”
