The political and inter-communal violence occurring in Central Equatoria, Jonglei, Lakes, Warrap and other parts of the country is of great concern.

Key Points: 
  • The political and inter-communal violence occurring in Central Equatoria, Jonglei, Lakes, Warrap and other parts of the country is of great concern.
  • The perpetuation of violence leading to a high number of fatalities, forced displacement, sexual and gender-based violence and other human rights abuses, must stop.
  • This situation is worsened by the regrettable stalling of the implementation of the peace agreement and the high proliferation of arms in the country.
  • The EU also supports the efforts of the AU, which will remain instrumental to support the full implementation of the peace agreement.
