Relief and some jubilation swept across #Juba with news of the signing of the new accords. But a tweet from #Museveni, immediately put things in perspective. “We are congratulating ourselves over many dead bodies in #SouthSudan over the last four years,” https://t.co/7uWTxidY0Q
“Female peacekeepers are actually being sent to places that are safer and not necessarily places where they are most needed or where it’s more dangerous,” Karim said. "There’s still this idea that women need to be protected.” @pass_blue for @newsdeeply

The leaders of #SouthSudan’s warring parties signed a final power-sharing agreement this month, but it remains unclear whether the deal will guarantee long-term stability in the country, journalist @Samoki22 writes for @irinnews. https://t.co/7uWTxidY0Q
"The international community needs to role model the behavior it is promoting. Currently women represent just 2% of chief mediators. More women need to be involved in mediation, negotiating, and all levels of peacebuilding." @ManalOmar#DeeplyTalks
"So much of the conflict we see is preventable. If we start investing in women in fragile states, we will be able to get ahead of the conflict curve" @ManalOmar#DeeplyTalks

"When you talk about women and peacebuilding you realize that we are very good at telling countries facing war and conflict how to include women, but we are very bad at including them into our own processes." @ManalOmar#DeeplyTalks
"Women are not well represented in negotiations, but when you ask women on the ground why, they will say that they are too busy doing the real work." #DeeplyTalks@ManalOmar
"The challenge is that we know the answer to including women in peace negotiations and peacebuilding, but we see in terms of implementation. There is a huge gap between the rhetoric and the reality on the ground." @ManalOmar#DeeplyTalks

“I am not sure if the regime will let us be free and not detain us. Maybe they will, but how can I trust them, or trust anyone? Here, [UNHCR] supports us, but who will back in Syria?” https://t.co/FHkkbCa7Rm
“There is an active strategy to keep women away from more dangerous locations where there’s combat, higher levels of sexual exploitation and abuse, or higher numbers of #peacekeeping deaths. There’s still this idea that women need to be protected.”
