Earlier this month, African Union mediators arrived in Juba to facilitate dialogue aimed at preventing a resurgence of conflict following the house arrest of First Vice President Riek Machar.
President Salva Kiir has accused Machar of inciting rebellion, triggering clashes reminiscent of the country’s devastating 2013–2018 civil war.
Further complicating the situation, the United States recently revoked visas held by South Sudanese nationals, citing the government’s failure to accept repatriated citizens.
The move has heightened diplomatic tensions and raised concerns about its potential impact on South Sudan’s stability.
The European Union remains actively engaged in peacebuilding and governance efforts in South Sudan.
The meeting between President Museveni and Ambassador Sadek highlights the EU’s commitment to working with regional leaders to address security challenges and support sustainable peace in South Sudan and the wider region.
