The Kenyan government has issued a strong appeal to all parties involved in the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS), urging them to take immediate and decisive action to prevent the escalation of hostilities.
This call comes amid growing concerns over the fragile state of peace in South Sudan, which has been marred by intermittent violence and political instability.
Reacting to an official statement by the United Nations on South Sudan's First Vice President, Dr Riek Machar's detention, Kenya's Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Korir Sing'oei, emphasised the critical importance of adhering to the provisions of the R-ARCSS to bring an end to years of devastating conflict. "A very concerning development.
We implore all parties to the R-ARCSS in South Sudan to do more to prevent an escalation of hostilities," Sing'oei said in an official statement on Thursday.
