Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The International Crisis Group, a conflict watchdog used by policymakers and academics, performing research and analysis on global crises, has warned that South Sudan is \u201ccareening toward still more crisis\u201d that the group says will only be avoided if the leaders embrace dialogue.<\/p>\n

In a report released Friday, the conflict watchdog said President Salva Kiir Mayardit\u2019s January peace agreement with the breakaway SPLA-IO Kitgwang faction creates for opportunity for conflict because it was aimed at weakening First Vice President Machar, President Kiir\u2019s number one rival.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Sudan is careening toward still more crisis. By carving out separate agreements with dissident opposition commanders, President Kiir has further weakened his main opponent Machar, but in doing so he also ensured that the peace process would continue to flounder,\u201d the group said in the report obtained by Sudans Post.<\/p>\n

The group said President Kiir and his first deputy Machar should work collectively to accelerate the reunification of the rival forces provided for in the revitalized peace agreement and downsize the would-be professional national army in addition to conduct of community-based dialogue over the city of Malakal.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of constantly seeking tactical advantage, Kiir and Machar should work together to build a smaller, truly unified army and, in concert with local actors, promote community-level talks over the disputed city of Malakal to prevent renewed clashes in Upper Nile state,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore generally, South Sudan\u2019s leaders, including religious figures, civil society representatives and business leaders, should explore a wider dialogue about the constitution and a decentralized form of national governance that moves beyond zero-sum competition for control at the centre and elsewhere,\u201d the report adds,.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alternative is a stalemate that encourages armed mobilization in the non-stop scrum for local and national power, even as the country\u2019s citizens grow ever more impoverished and disenchanted with their failing new state.\u201d<\/p>\n
