President Salva Kiir Mayardit has been very concerned with recent advances of TPLF rebel group in Northern Ethiopia. The President once again takes this opportunity to renew his pledge of solidarity and support to the people and government of Ethiopia; and urge both the government and TPLF rebel to come to table for dialogue,\u201d the foreign ministry statement reads in part.<\/p>\n<p>While expressing support for the people of Ethiopia, the South Sudan foreign ministry statement said is concerned by the declaration of state of emergency by the government of Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed saying it is an alarming development for the government and people of Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Kiir notes with great concern the recent declaration of a state of emergency by the Ethiopian Government in response to this situation. This alarming development raises the stakes for Ethiopia and underscores why a speedy resolution to the conflict between the Government of Ethiopia and the Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front (TPLF) is absolutely required without delay,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a close ally that had benefited from the generosity of Ethiopian people, South Sudan is obliged not to close her eyes to the suffering that these wars inflict upon our innocent people in the Horn of Africa. We ought to bring such suffering into full view and use it as a catalyst for us to rise to the challenge of reconciliation,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>The statement further urged Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed and other leaders of Ethiopia to make \u201cheroic response\u201d and \u201cprovide a room for dialogue. There can be no other way as the current military trajectory would only diminish Ethiopia\u2019s position as an indispensable geopolitical leader in the region and Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Salva Kiir stands ready to support Ethiopia\u2019s dialogue process and remains hopeful that the leaders of Ethiopia will end the current suffering by pursuing a peaceful homegrown solution,\u201d it concludes.<\/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.
