Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Canadian Jesuit Cardinal Michael Czerny, a top Vatican official and close papal aide, is currently making a trip to South Sudan, where he told the country\u2019s citizens and leaders that their upcoming general elections must be transparent and nonviolent.<\/p>\n

In a Feb. 4 homily in Juba, Czerny noted that South Sudan is due to hold elections later this year, saying, \u201cThis is a critical moment in the political life of your country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you prepare for the general elections, pray and work hard to ensure that it is nonviolent, fair, transparent, credible and peaceful,\u201d he said, saying that for this to be achieved, \u201cthere is groundwork to be done, putting into place needed infrastructures in the political sphere, preparing your minds and hearts for possible transition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Czerny, prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Integral Human Development, is making a Feb. 2-9 visit to South Sudan to mark the first anniversary of Pope Francis\u2019s visit to the country in February last year.<\/p>\n

General elections in South Sudan are currently scheduled for December, after being repeatedly delayed amid the country\u2019s tumultuous peace process.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s youngest country, South Sudan gained its independence in July 2011, after a lengthy war with neighboring Sudan.<\/p>\n

However, conflict erupted internally just two years later, in December 2013, between different factions of the government who were divided along tribal lines, throwing the new country into its own internal war.<\/p>\n

An attempted ceasefire in 2014 failed to stop the fighting, and likewise, a 2015 \u201cCompromise Peace Agreement,\u201d which foresaw national general elections, also fell through and fighting continued. Several other opposition groups then popped up, furthering the violence and bloodshed, as easy access to weapons compounded local disputes.<\/p>\n

In 2018, an official power-sharing peace agreement was struck, resulting in the formation of a new coalition government in 2020 in which South Sudanese President Salva Kiir maintained his status as president, and Vice President Riek Machar was named the first of five vice presidents.<\/p>\n

While the peace agreement continues to hold, it has yet to be fully implemented, with several requirements, including the creation of a unified army and the holding of national elections, yet to come to fruition.<\/p>\n

The first general election for South Sudan since its independence was initially scheduled for July 2015, however, an alleged coup d\u2019e\u0301tat put that on hold, with parliament voting that year to amend the transitional constitution of 2011 and extend the country\u2019s parliamentary term until July 2018.<\/p>\n

In 2018, elections were again postponed after the new peace agreement was struck agreeing to a 3-year transition period, with elections to be held in 2023. However, a year prior, in 2022, the transitional government and opposition agreed to move elections to December 2024.<\/p>\n

Czerny said that a peaceful transition of power is not only a sign of \u201cpolitical maturity,\u201d but is also \u201cassures good governance and holistic development, both of which are so needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI therefore urge you to be faithful to the peace agreement, not just you but also members of the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU), and all signers of the peace agreement,\u201d he said, referring to the 2018 power-sharing accord.<\/p>\n

Czerny said it is critical that South Sudan\u2019s \u201cintegrity and commitment bring about the yet-unrealized remaining steps for the election process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe full implementation of these prerequisites will be a guarantee to the population of South Sudan that never again will there be bloodshed, never again will South Sudanese fear insecurity in their own country and never again will the South Sudanese need to seek refuge in other countries due to violence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking directly to national authorities, he said, \u201cthis is your responsibility as leaders. Don\u2019t forget that God is watching over you as a shepherd and a judge, and don\u2019t forget to root even this work in prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pope Francis has long taken a direct interest in South Sudan. When he visited last year, he made the trip alongside the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, and the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, Ian Greenshields, as part of an ecumenical pilgrimage aimed at encouraging the country\u2019s peace process.<\/p>\n

Czerny lamented that since the pope\u2019s visit, there is \u201clittle changed or improved since last year,\u201d and he stressed the need for \u201cunity, reconciliation, cooperation, peace\u201d and a change in political will.<\/p>\n

He said it is time for violence to end and for citizens to build a new future based on peace, and called for the delivery of humanitarian aid to needy populations, and for investment in young people and processes aimed at building peace and forgiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many efforts towards implementing peace and reconciliation in this country: The government, other political actors, the Church, civil society, local and international partners and the country\u2019s people across the land and in camps for the many displaced are all \u2013 each in their own way \u2013 desiring, praying and striving for peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Czerny also reflected on the say\u2019s scripture readings, saying Jesus\u2019s healing ministry has deep meaning for South Sudan, \u201cwhich for decades has experienced vicious cycles of conflict and violence and the hardship and suffering they cause…(Jesus) is constantly reaching out to take you and your people by the hand and lift you up again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what we need to do in order to live peacefully with each other: to reach out, to heal and forgive, to find our unity in caring for one another, to find our peace in walking together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Czerny stressed the need to voice gratitude for God\u2019s mercy, and said prayer was an essential part of Jesus\u2019s ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, our ministries of healing, liberation, promoting reconciliation and building peace also require our constant prayer, otherwise we get lost, confused and discouraged,\u201d he said, and questioned citizens on the progress made since the pope\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s never give up looking for Jesus. Let\u2019s keep asking him to teach us how to pray, to renew our faith and hope and charity, to motivate and orient our service of others and our search for peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In addition to Juba, Czerny will also travel to Malakal and Renk as part of his visit, celebrating a public Mass in Malakal on Feb. 8 for the World Day of Prayer and Reflection against Human Trafficking, in the church of Saint Josephine Bakhita.<\/p>\n

In Renk, which sits on the border with Sudan, Czerny will bless a boat used by the local Caritas branch to transport migrants and refugees along the Nile.<\/p>\n
