Leaders from neighboring communities who attended the meeting echoed calls for peaceful coexistence,\u201d the statement read. \u201cUNISFA congratulates both communities\u2019 members and leaders, chiefs and paramount chiefs, politicians and MPs, women and youth representatives for having continued on the path towards peace, following last year\u2019s meetings and engagements, and to have spent a week in dialogue together to discuss how to implement the \u201cPresident\u2019s Four Points\u201d, that they have agreed on three points and referred, under the guidance of the Governor of Warrap and the Civil Administrator of Abyei, the fourth point of a \u201cbuffer zone\u201d to the responsible authorities at the South Sudan national security level and Presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUNISFA urges the two parties to adhere to the outcome of the meeting and to continue engaging constructively to resolve their differences,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n<p>UNISFA also stressed that any allegations that the Force is supporting one party in the conflict are unfounded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are rooted in misinformation and disinformation, which can undermine the peace process. UNISFA remains impartial and is fully committed to the implementation of its mandate and shall continue to prioritize the Protection of Civilians (POC),\u201d the statement said. \u201cThe Mission will, nevertheless, continue to support the peace process between the Ngok Dinka and Twic Dinka, through engagement with the communities and political leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UNISFA said it supports the proposal from the Warrap State governor and the Chief Administrator of Abyei to establish a joint committee drawn from the two communities and peace partners (UNISFA and UNMISS) to meet with President Salva Kiir and the political and security leadership of South Sudan to convey the community ideas and concerns regarding the \u201cbuffer zones\u201d as well as the peace partners\u2019 inputs and hopes that such a meeting could be held soon, to capitalize on the current peace-making momentum.<\/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.
