German FM urges South Sudan leaders to renounce violence
|
 [SUDANTRIBUNE] The German Foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock has urged South Sudanese leaders to renounce the violence in the electoral process.
She was speaking after meeting President Salva Kiir
whose predecessor died under mysterious circumstances when his plane exploded...
and First Vice President Riek Machar
Who's been in near continuous rebellion against Kiir and his forces...
in Juba on Friday as part of a tour that saw her visit Kenya and Djibouti.
The official stressed the need for free, fair and peaceful elections in the country.
She emphasized the need for progress in the implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement, greater transparency in the management of public finances, increased investment in basic services by the transitional government and the facilitation of safe and unhindered humanitarian access in South Sudan.
And ponies for everyone!
While opening a new United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) women’s friendly space at Gorom refugee settlement on Friday, Baerbock has condemned the widespread sexual and gender-based violence women affected by war face.
“Sexual violence and rape are systematically used as a weapon of war. The women I just spoke to suffered the worst – they had to watch their daughters being raped in front of their eyes, they lost their children while fleeing. And then they arrived here in South Sudan and urgently need humanitarian support, water, food, but, above all, what everyone says above all, medical care,” she stressed.
