As the government works to rebuild trust and stability in the region, officials are hopeful that this action plan will pave the way for lasting peace and prosperity in South Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>With millions still displaced due to years of conflict, the government\u2019s commitment to facilitating their return marks a critical moment in the nation\u2019s recovery efforts.<\/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.
