South Sudan’s national dialogue team takes process to grass roots

Read < 1 minute

South Sudan’s National Dialogue Steering committee says it is moving the process from the capital Juba to the villages with the dialogue team saying it will dispatch a team to the country’s states early next week.

Here is CGTN’s Patrick Oyet report.

The United Mission in South Sudan is currently helping transport the dialogue team across the country but the team also wants to collect views from South Sudanese refugee in neighboring countries and the diaspora, getting funds for such consultations is a challenge.

Officials have noted that the on-going fighting between rebels and government forces in parts of South Sudan poses a serious threat to the national dialogue initiative.

The young nation has been in war since 2013, that has seen thousands of people killed and nearly two million others become refugees in neighbouring countries. Another one million South Sudanese remained internally displaced.

The war has been characterised by gross human rights violations.
