  1. “We believe that such a process will help the South Sudanese get out of the vicious cycle of political violence and build a society that will foster good governance and sustainable development and ensure justice and accountability.”

  2. “The initiative seeks to convene an inclusive political dialogue for South Sudanese stakeholders in the region. The goal is to help the South Sudanese reach a broad consensus on a road map for a new transitional programme, agree on a transitional constitutional framework outlining the terms of the transitional period and identify the top priorities of the transitional Government. That non-partisan initiative has the potential to influence and push South Sudanese political and social groups to engage in an inclusive political dialogue and to agree on a road map for a transitional programme with a specific mandate and timeline for free, fair, credible and inclusive elections.”

  3. “In fact, the extension of the term of the Government without the inclusive participation of civil society or other political and social groups will entrench the parties in their positions vis-à-vis the agreement and encourage the Government to hold fraudulent elections to remain in power. The post-election period in such a scenario will lead to violence and the outbreak of a full-fledged war. Such a war will lead to the total collapse of South Sudan. Therefore, we call on the region and the international community to support the call for a broad-based process to ensure the inclusivity of South Sudan’s transition to peace, democracy and development. In that regard, we support Fordham University’s initiative to convene a broad-based meeting on South Sudan as a follow- up to the round-table discussion to be held in New York on 3 June 2023.”

  4. “The joint human rights report published on 6 September by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights documents horrific violations and abuses of human rights in South Sudan’s Unity state. The report documents 131 cases of rape and gang rape, including girls as young as 8 years old and a 9-year-old girl who was gang-raped to death. The current Government has failed to carry out its mandate, including implementing the peace agreement and protecting civilians. Instead, corruption and the misuse of resources, especially oil revenues, remain prevalent in South Sudan. Therefore, extending the current Government’s term, given its leaders’ failure to engender peace, democracy or development, will prolong the suffering of ordinary citizens.”

  5. “Ms. Riziq: I thank you, Madam President, for this opportunity to brief the Security Council on the situation in South Sudan. On 12 September, South Sudan marked the four- year anniversary of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan. Four years after the signing of the peace agreement in 2018, the power-sharing agreement has neither ended the violence nor delivered the needed reforms. The situation in South Sudan is unsustainable. The whole country is breaking down. There is rampant insecurity and forced displacement of civilians. The civic space is severely restricted. Women and girls are routinely subjected to sexual violence. Despite the recent graduation of security forces by the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity, the dire humanitarian and security situations continue.”
