Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) in a statement marking eleven years since independence has called on the country\u2019s leaders to redouble their efforts and implement the remaining provisions of the revitalized peace agreement to enable elections.<\/p>\n

Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG) Nicholas Haysom, who is also the head of UNMISS, said in a statement this morning that the world mission is committed to peace in the world\u2019s youngest country.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs South Sudan commemorates 11 years of independence, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) reiterates its commitment to peace in the world\u2019s newest nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe journey out of civil war has not been easy and the upcoming months will be critical for South Sudan, as the transitional period approaches its end in February 2023,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He called on the leaders of South Sudan to redouble their efforts to agree on a road map for elections which should happen, according to the revitalized peace agreement, by February next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is the time for national leaders to redouble their efforts to agree on a roadmap \u2013 with clear benchmarks, timelines, and priorities\u2014to pave the way towards free, fair and credible elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity for the country to celebrate its common values and to rally together for nation-building,\u201d Haysom added.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cUNMISS continues to promote a safe and secure environment for civilians, to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid, and to support the return of displaced families and refugees.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, let us make peace gains irreversible and build the prosperous future to which all South Sudanese women, men and children aspire.\u201d<\/p>\n
