The Peace Agreement remains the basis of legitimacy for the transitional government in South Sudan. Unilateral changes to the Agreement are not in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Agreement and will not bring peace to South Sudan. We call for an immediate return to dialogue among all parties to the Peace Agreement.

South Africa has the capacity to rise above xenophobia.
Africans should maintain the spirit of “Ubuntu,” South Africa and the whole of Africa should move toward a future defined by unity rather than division.
