The co-chairing of the Tumaini initiative on Monday by heads of delegation from government and opposition has created positive atmosphere among the parties, according a youth delegate to the Kenya-led South Sudan peace talks.
Patrick Godi – who is representing youth said they listened to the government delegation on Monday about its response concerning the root causes of the conflict in the country.
“So we welcomed the report which the government presented. The atmosphere was very warm and very friendly, and that session in fact is worthy to mention that it was co-chaired by General Kuol Manayng alongside General Pagan Amum.
The response revolved around political and leadership issues, economic and resource management, social cohesion, structural and historical issues, and also geo-politics influencing the country.
“Yesterday (Monday), we were able to hear directly from the government and they provided responses across political and leadership issues, economic and resource management, social cohesion, structural and historical issues, and also influences of geo-politics influencing the country.
According to Godi, it is encouraging that South Sudanese can sit alone and discuss issues affecting the country, without the mediation.
” I think that is a positive sign and our people should receive this well, it is actually encouraging that we as South Sudanese should be able to, without even the need for mediation, address some of the issues that continue to face us,” he added.
Today, the parties were supposed to convene and consolidate all their views and analysis on the agenda of root causes of conflict in South Sudan, before constituting joint technical team.
However, it has been adjourned to Wednesday.
