Sara Beysolow Nyanti, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Liberia, underscored the urgent need for the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to concentrate on its core mandate\u2014the protection of civilians, facilitation of humanitarian access, and support to the peace process.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on Liberia\u2019s own post\u2010conflict experience and lessons learned from peacekeeping transitions, Minister Nyanti emphasized that effectiveness\u2014not expansion\u2014must guide future UNMISS operations.<\/p>\n<p>Liberia aligned with the A3 in expressing deep concern over escalating violence, mass displacement, and the alarming rise in civilian casualties. The A3 stressed that peacekeeping remains essential\u2014not optional\u2014in South Sudan\u2019s current context.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Nyanti warned that expanding expectations without commensurate resources risks weakening civilian protection and undermining the credibility of peacekeeping operations. She called on the Council to ensure that the renewal of the UNMISS mandate is matched with predictable financing, operational flexibility, and strong political support. Her Excellency also reaffirmed Liberia\u2019s strong support for African\u2010led mediation efforts and welcomed the appointment of former President Jakaya Kikwete as African Union High Representative for the Horn of Africa and Red Sea, with South Sudan as a priority.<\/p>\n<p>While reaffirming the importance of elections for South Sudan\u2019s long\u2010term democratic transition, Liberia stressed that electoral processes must be approached responsibly and grounded in improved security, inclusivity, and protection of civilians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeacekeeping cannot replace national leadership&#8230;But the people of South Sudan deserve a mission that is credible, focused, and fully supported to save lives today while political solutions take root.\u201d Minister Nyanti noted.<\/p>\n<p>The Foreign Minister reiterated Liberia\u2019s commitment to African solidarity, African ownership of peace processes, and constructive engagement within the UN Security Council to advance stability and protect civilians in South Sudan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Liberia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
