According to Press TV, in a statement released by Ban Ki-moon’s spokesperson on Thursday, the UN chief called for an immediate end to all hostilities between South Sudan’s army and rebel forces loyal to the country’s former vice president, Riek Machar, in the towns of Bentiu and Rubkona.
Ban described the resumption of hostilities in South Sudan’s north as a “serious violation” of earlier peace agreements between the warring sides, saying the new spate of violence “undermines the ongoing IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development) efforts to find a political solution to the conflict.”
The UN chief further called on the conflicting sides to “participate constructively in the ongoing political negotiations in Addis Ababa and reach urgently an agreement on inclusive and comprehensive transitional arrangements.”
Ban also warned both parties of the “inviolability” of the African country’s UN bases that are home to tens of thousands of displaced civilians.
