Africa-Press – South-Sudan. The Chairperson of the Women in Mangateen Internally Displaced Persons camp, Nyabuar Peter, is calling on the government to improve the security in the country.
“All we need is peace in order for us to go back to our states, we need peace and security stability and better education for our children,” Nyabuar said.
According to Nyabuar, peace is not ending at the silencing of the guns. Much more needs to be done to help resettlement of the refugees.
“I am tired of hearing gunshots and killing of people now and then. I am sure if the government addresses all these challenges, I will be the first to go back to Unity State.”
Mary Paul, one of the residents of the Mahad IDPs who fled Greater Pibor to Juba, said they arrived in 2013 due to the conflict but have avoided to return because of insecurity.
She decried lack of funds that has affected many families whose children now opt for street life.
“Government should implement peace in order for our children not to suffer since they are the leaders of tomorrow. If peace is there we will all go back home and state developing the states,” she added.
Last month, the women activists presented a position letter about the voices of women in the IDP camps which called for the implementation of the peace agreement to end the suffering of the people in the country.
The paper was presented to the national ministry of gender, child and social welfare, the ministry of peace building, the Inter-Governmental Authority and Development (IGAD), and the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC) among others.
“The RTGoNU shall initiate legislation for the establishment of the following transitional justice institutions, observe the 35 per cent women representations in these institutions and have the Commission for Truth, Reconciliation, and Healing (CTRH),” it partly read as it quoted the revitalized peace agreement.
