Civil Society Forum SSD

Today, I spoke with President Salva Kiir Mayardit and First Vice President Riek Machar about the security situation in South Sudan. Somalia stands in full solidarity with the people of South Sudan and remains committed to supporting efforts for a peaceful and lasting resolution.

drive.google.com/file/d/10EYcVD… The Civil Society Forum strongly condemns the raging violence ravaging multiple regions of #SouthSudan, including Western Equatoria and Upper Nile, particularly in Nasir and Ulang Counties. #SSoX

The discussions should also address critical transitional priorities including the finalization of the Tumaini process, accelerating the Permanent Constitution-Making Process, and expediting the unification of forces to create a stable foundation for the General Election in 2026.

This dialogue must prioritize establishment of practical mechanisms for resolving disputes in the peace process, maturely & constructively, to prevent disagreements within the R-TGONU leadership from continually creating an environment of insecurity and tension in the country.

We demand an immediate cessation of hostilities. There is no justification for further bloodshed—peace must be prioritized over any other party or individual interests and struggles. Full Release here: drive.google.com/file/d/10EYcVD…

We therefore issue an urgent wake-up call to the Revitalized Transitional Government of #SouthSudan and implore the Guarantors of the R-ARCSS to recognize the gravity of the situation and act decisively to prevent complete national collapse.

The scarcity of global humanitarian funding has made the existing humanitarian crisis in #SouthSudan profoundly challenging to address. Any further deterioration would have catastrophic consequences for the citizens and severely affect the country.

The @EUinSouthSudan, together with other diplomatic missions in South Sudan, joined a statement on the recent extension of the Transitional Government of National Unity.

The @EUinSouthSudan at the third extraordinary meeting of the @RJMECsouthsudan on Thursday regretted that another extension has become necessary & that the commitments made by the political leaders to the people of #SouthSudan have not been fulfilled. More:eeas.europa.eu/delegations/so…

The @EUinSouthSudan was honoured to host the Dialogue on Civic Space, Media Integrity & Elections in #SouthSudan, organised by @Peaceforce, @ujossofficial & @sshrdNetwork. @AugustLothar, #NEC Commissioner #AmosOchieng, #TNLAspokesperson #OliverMori & @oyetpatrick4 graced it.

"A strong state needs a strong civil society. You play a key role in creating the political & civic space that is necessary for holding elections & political processes before us," @AugustLothar said during the Dialogue on Civic Space, Media Integrity & Elections in #SouthSudan.

Reps from political parties, civil society & security institutions in Unity, #SouthSudan🇸🇸, recently met for a two-day political forum facilitated by #UNMISS. The event served as a crucial platform for leaders to discuss how to ensure a fair & open pre-electoral environment. #A4P

🛑 We urge President Kiir to veto the controversial National Security Act passed by the National parliament. The Act threatens human rights & contradicts our constitution. Let's prioritize security sector reform and protect our freedoms! #RejectNSA #SouthSudan #SSoX #SSCSF
