Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s President Salva Kiir Mayardit has promised justice for members of the humanitarian community killed by criminals in several parts of the world\u2019s youngest country warning that those behind the crimes \u201cwill not hide from the long arms of our law indefinitely.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes a week after an ambush by undefined gunmen resulted in the killing of an aid worker in the country\u2019s restive Jonglei state. Dozens of humanitarian workers have also been killed throughout the year without any single perpetrator being apprehended.<\/p>\n

In his annual Christmas message, Kiir called for an end to violence against aid workers and promised accountability for victims of the crimes against the humanitarian community saying none of those behind the killing will be able to hide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe uncalled-for violence against humanitarian workers must cease immediately. Those who are committing these crimes will not hide from the long arms of our law indefinitely. They will be caught no matter how long this will take and they will pay for their crimes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we struggle to find our footings after the senseless war, we cannot afford to tolerate this contemptible culture that promotes the killing of the innocents,\u201d added the South Sudanese President.<\/p>\n

The head of state further urged citizens to support peace as the parties struggle to implement the revitalized peace agreement which ended the country\u2019s devastating seven-year-old conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a people emerging from the conflict situation, we all need to support peace by shunning violence in all its forms and by choosing peaceful means to address our grievances whenever they arise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ought to demonstrate care towards those who serve in our communities, especially in remote locations, whether they are government administrators or humanitarian workers,\u201d Kiir further added in the Christmas message.<\/p>\n
