Peace at last in South Sudan!

Nairobi| 9 May 2014
This day ushered in a new era to the peace process in the world’s youngest state of South Sudan which was in the brink of collapse from civil war. This comes at the wake of pressure mounted by the regional and international communities on cessation of hostility after the witnessing the massacre of innocent lives in various parts of South Sudan.

The two South Sudanese principles - President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his Former Vice President Dr Riek Machar met for the first time and held face-to-face talks which culminated in the signing of the peace agreement in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. These talks were held within the context of, and chaired by the chairman of IGAD, H.E. Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn of Ethiopia will work towards a complete cessation of hostilities agreement that was signed earlier this year.
