Salva
Kiir, the President of South Sudan, has managed to collect the support of the
regional leaders. But the crisis is deepening. The ceasefire discussions in
Addis Ababa are not making any visible progress. The humanitarian situation is
worsening.
In
this deteriorating context, the
international community should tell President Kiir that the support he is
getting from the region should encourage him to seek a political solution. Because
of the backing he is receiving from his neighbours he is more than anybody else
in a stronger position when it comes to taking the political initiative. He
should understand that the region and the international community can only see
an all-inclusive political agreement as the way forward for sustainable peace
and nation building in South Sudan. Anything else, including the military
option, is just a recipe for further collapse and human misery.
