on the Situation in South Sudan
11 April 2014, Addis Ababa
Mr. Chairman,
Let me first introduce myself to the members of the PSC and other
participants that I am the new Permanent Representative of the State of
Eritrea to the AU and UNECA.
I thank the Council for giving me and my delegation the opportunity to
participate in this afternoon's briefing session on the situation in South
Sudan.
My Government has been following the unfortunate situation unfolding in the
sisterly Republic of South Sudan since mid-December of 2013. We are deeply
saddened by the fighting which has led to the death and displacement of
thousands of people.
Eritrea's stance and robust solidarity with the people and Government of
South Sudan is a historical fact and continues unaltered. My country
strongly believes that additional bloodshed and displacement must be
avoided. To this end, it continues to make its humble contribution for the
peaceful resolution of the problem.
Mr Chairman, on the way forward:
* It is imperative that there be consensus among all local and
international stakeholders on the ways and means of achieving peaceful
solution to the problem.
* A sustainable solution can only be achieved through an internal
political process owned and led by the people and Government of South Sudan,
the role of the international community should only be supporting this
process.
* To expedite the arduous and long process of nation building, the
legitimate and internationally recognized Government of South Sudan led by
H.E. President Salva Kiir should be supported by the international
community.
The people of South Sudan have suffered a lot, the suffering must end and
they should be given the opportunity to resolve their problems and lay the
foundations for building their nation and governmental institutions.
In conclusion, I wish to reiterate Eritrea's readiness to contribute to and
collaborate with the AU and other bodies for the peaceful resolution of the
problem.
Thank you!
