SOUTH SUDAN: UN MISSION WELCOMES PEACE DEAL BETWEEN ARMED GROUPS AND
GOVERNMENT FORCES
New York, Apr 29 2013 7:00PM
The United Nations peacekeeping mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) today
welcomed a peace deal between the Government of South Sudan and local
militia groups, adding that it remained ready to assist the country as
it moved forward in establishing a lasting peace.

"UNMISS stands ready to support this peaceful development, including
with the demobilization of children associated with these armed
groups, and assist the Government of South Sudan to achieve
sustainable peace in the country," the UN mission said in a statement
which also called on all other armed groups "to lay down their weapons
and join the government to build a stable and prosperous South Sudan."

According to a spokesperson for the South Sudan Liberation Army
(SSLA), the South Sudan Democratic Army (SSDA) and the South Sudan
Defense Forces (SSDF), the peace accord was reached last Friday and
specified that the three armed groups would begin "interacting" with
the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), the official army of the
Government of South Sudan, "without any confrontation."

In addition, militias were ordered "to move to the areas controlled by
the SPLA" in order to achieve a full cessation of hostilities.

"Because South Sudan needs development, peace and forgiveness, we have
decided to end rebellion in South Sudan and ordered all rebel forces
to interact with the SPLA until the integration is complete," declared
the statement issued by the groups' spokesperson.

"From today, there will be no more war in Jonglei, Unity and Upper
Nile States," it added.

The peace deal comes on the heels of a 24 April amnesty issued by
South Sudanese President Salva Kiir Mayardit as part of a wider effort
in facilitating the peace.

As part of its mandated role in the country, UNMISS has also been
active in consolidating peace and security, and helping to establish
conditions for development in the world's newest country since South
Sudan became independent from Sudan in July 2011.
