Salva Kiir, the president of South Sudan, is urging his citizens to “join hands” in implementing a peace deal. Kiir’s plea comes after several outbreaks of fighting were seen since rebels and the government signed the peace accord in August.
At the time of the signing of the pact between Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar, the president voiced reservations and he repeated his concerns about the deal in a statement to journalists in Juba. Kiir told journalists that some elements needed to be renegotiated; criticizing the deal for declaring the capital and some other places demilitarized zones.
But he told South Sudanthat it was time to unite.
“I call upon all of you to join hands with me,” he said, urging South Sudanese to work together “during the transitional period until the general elections in 2018, until we bring peace to our country.”
“I am committed to peace and the implementation of the agreement,” he said.
