Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The International Committee of the Red Cross on Monday urged South Sudan to end discrimination against persons living with disabilities in the country.<\/p>\n

ICRC\u2019s Disability Inclusion Advisor, James Ochan, said people with special needs should be treated equally without stigma.<\/p>\n

He called for participation of persons with disabilities in both private and public sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us just look at persons with disability as human, when we talk about human, we know what is human, as you consider yourself human, look at persons with disability as human,\u201d he said on Eye Radio\u2019s Dawn Show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I come to you, don\u2019t just look at me and then you try to think differently. I\u2019m here in the studio, when you hear my voice out there, you may think I don\u2019t have disability, I have disability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is normally marked on December 3 every year. But South Sudan has pushed the occasion to tomorrow, December 5.<\/p>\n

It is an international observance promoted by the United Nations since 1992, to mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n

This year, it is under the theme: \u2018United in action to rescue and achieve the sustainable development goals for, with and by persons with disabilities\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, there is nothing that limits me from doing something which is of big help to the country. I\u2019m someone with disability I have my contribution in the country, and I can contribute a lot to the country, and I can contribute to the GDP of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not discriminate persons with disability because of who they are or because of their disability, no.\u201d<\/p>\n
