In statement extended to ThejubaMirror News Desk Western Bahr El Ghazal Community in Diaspora Raises Alarm Over Peace Process Disruptions .
The Western Bahr El Ghazal Community in Diaspora urgently express its grave concerns regarding actions that compromise the peace process in Western Bahr El Ghazal State.
These concerns center around the detrimental collaboration between the current Governor, Sarah Cleto, and the former governor -the current minister of wildlife Rizik Zakaria, which directly threatens the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) through divisive strategies.
Amid significant advancements in natural resource exploration and exploitation within Western Bahr El Ghazal, the Governor’s inability to govern effectively has led her to form a controversial alliance with the Minister for Wildlife.
This partnership seeks to facilitate the reappointment of Rizik Zakaria as Governor, positioning Sarah Cleto in a significant national role. The objective behind these maneuvers is to consolidate control over the state’s valuable resources and strategic locations, exploiting them to the fullest extent.
The orchestrator of these divisive tactics, Mr. Tut Gatluak, Presidential Special Advisor, is identified as the architect behind efforts to dilute opposition unity, thereby weakening the R- ARCSS’s implementation.
This situation unfolds as the international community, including principal signatories of the R-ARCSS and guarantors led by the Troika (USA, UK, Norway), closely watches.
The Western Bahr El Ghazal Community in Diaspora calls upon all parties involved, including the international community, to urgently address these developments that endanger the peace, unity, and prosperity of Western Bahr El Ghazal State. It is imperative to reaffirm commitment to the R-ARCSS and work towards genuine peace and stability in the region.
