I wanted to understand what it takes to close a camp, to accompany people so that they feel safe that they are ready to start a new life. The messages were very clear from the IDPs; they need peace, they need safety above all, but they also need some support,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is expensive outside there if they have to rent the house, if they have to rebuild a house because it was destroyed, they need help to rebuild that house. They need jobs and income so that they can start a new life again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery important messages about how we as a UN can support the government to make that a possibility,\u201d Piper added.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Juma, one of the community leaders of the displaced people, asked the UN to urge the government to implement the peace agreement and provide basic services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPush our government to accept peace so that we can live in harmony in our country. The revitalized peace agreement is not being implemented,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I chose to go out now, that means I have chosen to die. We see that the government is not serious in implementing the agreement and the whole world sees it too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a 27-year-old mother of three children, Mary Atika, said since their homes were destroyed during the war, they have no money to go rebuild them and or rent houses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of us came to the camp when we were young and in school but have now wasted our time here,\u201d he lamented. \u201cWe now have children and if we say we want to go back, how are we going to live because rent is expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another IDP, Lual Deng, said his home was near the camp and he and his family fled into it when the war started.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were in the area very close to the camp and fled inside when the war erupted,\u201d he said. \u201cWe now do not have houses, we do not have water and schools. If these things can be provided, our people are ready to go back home.\u201d<\/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.
