Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>President Salva Kiir has put perpetrators of inter-c0comunial conflict on notice, adding that the government will take stern action on anyone fueling violence in the country.<\/p>\n

The president said that anyone engaging in \u201csenseless killings\u201d will face the full force of the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot allow this senseless killing of both security personnel and civilians to continue,\u2019 the president said in his State of the Nation Address on Saturday, July 9.<\/p>\n

President Kiir, meanwhile, assured that perpetrators will be held liable for their actions while at the same time assured justice to the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustice must be served on behalf of those whose lives have been lost through this pointless violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government will not metout collective punishment, but it will hold those who have killed others accountable for their crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president reiterated that strides made in the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS), were being washed down by the violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gains we have made in the implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement are being eroded by inter-communal violence across the country. We have lost many lives in Western Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria and Warrap State to inter-communal violence,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the governor of Warrap State, Aleu Ayieny Aleu said he cut short his treatment in Egypt to address deteriorating security situation in the state after tens of soldiers were allegedly killed by armed civilians.<\/p>\n

The governor stressed that the problem was the presence of arms in the area and called for voluntary disarmament to continue, warning that failure to comply, his government would disarm civilians by force.<\/p>\n
