He said, “South Sudan stands behold this esteemed assembly as a resolute partner in the collective pursuit of a better future for all.”
After a series of postponements, general elections in South Sudan are expected to take place in late 2024.

Hybrid press briefing by Ambassador Al-Harith Idriss Al-Harith Mohamed, Permanent Representative of the Republic of the Sudan, on the situation in the country.
Sudan’s Ambassador Al-Harith Idriss Al-Harith Mohamed 12 May said the humanitarian situation in the country “has deteriorated and is getting worse,” and denied the Sudanese Armed forces are breaching ceasefire agreements.
Mohamed said the government “is exerting tremendous efforts to contain the impact of the situation in various aspects and was able to control or reduce the intensity of the devastation” but pointed out that “there is urgent need for humanitarian services at the border crossings which witnessed a crowding of citizens wishing to cross the border with children, elderly and sick.”
The Sudanese authorities, he said, “are working around the clock on the dates of figures of fatalities wounded, the IDPs or refugees,” and reiterated that humanitarian assistance operations “should be conducted on the basis of the internationally recognized guiding principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence, and that the sovereignty territorial integrity and national unity must be fully respected.”
The Ambassador said the Sudanese Armed Forces “are not launching an offensive they are actually making a defensive” and “will not open fire only if they have been attacked.”
He said, “from time to time there will be a kind of what apparently may be as a breach of the ceasefire. But actually, this is not meant. And this is actually not the case.”
Secretary-General António Guterres today welcomed the signing by the parties to the conflict of the Declaration of Commitment to protect civilians and guarantee the safe passage of humanitarian aid in the country.

Briefing by Nicholas Haysom, Special Representative and head of UNMISS, on the situation the Sudan and South Sudan - Security Council, 9219th meeting.
The UN Special Representative for South Sudan, Nicholas Haysom, said that there had been some noticeable progress in the implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement.
Briefing the Security Council today (13 Dec) on the Secretary-General’s latest 90-day report on South Sudan, Haysom said, “With the passage of essential bills, and the ratification of the Roadmap by the transitional National Legislature, parliament is again functioning.”
He also said that the security situation in Upper Nile State continues to be a particular concern and has the potential to deteriorate further.
“Violence in the area has taken on an ethnic dimension,” Haysom explained, “and I condemn the human rights violations and abuses that have included killings, conflict-related sexual violence, pillaging, and large-scale displacements.”
According to Haysom, thousands of civilians have fled to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) temporary operating base at Kodok and the protection of civilian site in Malakal, “which is already congested beyond its capacity.”
He warned that credible elections cannot take place in such an environment and that there will be consequences for those promoting the conflict.
Haysom added that the worsening of the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan is a reminder of the imperative for the parties to deliver on their commitments in the Peace Agreement.
Next year’s projections estimate that 9.4 million people will need humanitarian and protection assistance.
“This is an alarming figure for a country of roughly 12 million people,” he said.
The situation is exacerbated by flooding and localized drought.
While humanitarian personnel are working tirelessly to offer shelter, health care, food, water, sanitation, and mental health support, needs continue to outstrip the resources to assist.
The UN Special Representative for South Sudan highlighted, “Humanitarians continue to give their lives in service – with nine personnel killed on duty in 2022.”
The Permanent Representative of South Sudan to the United Nations, Akuei Bona Malwal, also briefed the Security Council today.
He said that one of the major challenges that his country is facing is the humanitarian situation, "caused by both nature and conflict."
He continued, “As much as climate change tends to get politicized, we, who are experiencing its devastation and destruction, consider it a reality that needs to be confronted with all the tools in our collective toolbox.”

South Sudanese Vice-President Taban Deng Gai, today (26 Sep) told the General Assembly’s general debate that the recent face-to-face meeting between President Salva Kiir Mayardit and opposition leader Dr Riek Machar in Juba earlier this month, “offered an opportunity to deliberate on critical pending issues to pave way for the formation of a new government on national unity by 12 November 2019.”
Deng Gai said Machar’s visit “was a tremendous milestone and has brought the much-needed confidence to the leaders of different political parties and the citizens of the Republic of South Sudan.”
The Vice-President recalled that last year “many sceptics” had considered South Sudan “was on the brink of deterioration into violent conflict and doubted whether the peace agreement would hold or not.”
He said South Sudan is now “heading towards lasting peace and stability.”
Since the signing of the revitalized peace agreement, he said, “the overall security situation in the Republic of South Sudan has been stable.” The government and the parties to the agreement, he added “have worked diligently within the various mechanisms set up under the national pre-transitional committee to implement the provisions of the revitalized peace agreement.”

On December 19, 2018, protests broke out in small cities throughout Sudan amid an economic crisis, eventually reaching the country's capital, Khartoum. These protests posed the biggest challenge to Sudan's longest-serving dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who throughout his regime did everything he could to remain in power. Bashir relied on various security sectors to protect him from being overthrown. However, his plan ultimately failed on April 11, 2019, when the country's army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and a paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, sided with the protesters and carried out a military coup, toppling Bashir.
The end of Bashir's regime brought hope to the protesters, but they remained skeptical about the men who had overthrown him. SAF’s Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemeti) took control of the country after the coup and made repeated promises to hand over power to civilians, which would put Sudan on a democratic path. But they continuously delayed fulfilling their promises and instead turned against each other, vying for power in Sudan. The two men have brutally interrupted Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution.
The fighting between the two men's forces started out in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and spread all over the country. Recent ceasefire breakdowns have led to more bursts of violence, especially in Darfur, a region still reeling from the aftermath of a genocide at the hands of Bashir's regime.
Watch the latest episode of Atlas to understand how their feud has undermined the democratic aspirations of the protesters and put Sudan at risk of a civil war.

How Sudan's top two military men turned on each other

On December 19, 2018, protests broke out in small cities throughout Sudan amid an economic crisis, eventually reaching the country's capital, Khartoum. These protests posed the biggest challenge to Sudan's longest-serving dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who throughout his regime did everything he could to remain in power. Bashir relied on various security sectors to protect him from being overthrown. However, his plan ultimately failed on April 11, 2019, when the country's army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and a paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces, sided with the protesters and carried out a military coup, toppling Bashir.
The end of Bashir's regime brought hope to the protesters, but they remained skeptical about the men who had overthrown him. SAF’s Abdel Fattah Burhan and RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (aka Hemeti) took control of the country after the coup and made repeated promises to hand over power to civilians, which would put Sudan on a democratic path. But they continuously delayed fulfilling their promises and instead turned against each other, vying for power in Sudan. The two men have brutally interrupted Sudan’s pro-democracy revolution.
The fighting between the two men's forces started out in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and spread all over the country. Recent ceasefire breakdowns have led to more bursts of violence, especially in Darfur, a region still reeling from the aftermath of a genocide at the hands of Bashir's regime.
Watch the latest episode of Atlas to understand how their feud has undermined the democratic aspirations of the protesters and put Sudan at risk of a civil war.
