We have inter and intra communal violence, cattle rustling, road ambushes and urban violence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these pose serious security threats to our people. And they require you in military leadership to be on state of operational readiness to assist other organized forces tackled this when called upon,\u201d the head of state added.<\/p>\n<p>The president did not however specify the threats the country is facing, but there has been, as of recent, a widespread wave of attacks against civilians mostly in the oil-rich Upper Nile state where armed youth from Jonglei State have been attacking IDPs in the Shilluk Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that the extension of the transitional period by the parties to the revitalized peace agreement without the mediation of external bodies is in itself an achievement by the South Sudanese political forces and urged the forces to deploy for peacebuilding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe parties to the Agreement signed the Roadmap 2022 in September this year. This document was negotiated by the parties themselves without external direction. That alone was itself an achievement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlong with this political process, we expect the military leadership to complement it by working on, streamlining deployment of the necessary unified forces, commencing phase II of the training of the remaining unified forces and building on the success already made in the process of the unification,\u201d added Kiir.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
