Its quite embarrassing that both parties are not willing to work together, children and women are suffering ,why don’t u at least put your differences and political affiliations aside? South Sudan is here to live,why don’t focus on next generation? Why don’t u make this nation a better place to live?silence the guns ,they will never bring peace to this nation Rather destroying it ,enough blood is poured and a lot of sacrifices were made for this nation,its time to rebuild the broken walls ,with only batter social amenities ,peace is the attribute of the heart,leaders will go, regimes will end ,empires will come to an end but South Sudan is here to leave for trillion years.
