The Troika Embassies in Juba have called on the national government to identify and hold accountable those responsible for the recent violence in Kajo-Keji County.

The diplomatic offices of Norway, Unite Kingdom and the United State say they are gravely concerned over the killings of dozens of residents, as well as other acts of violence, in Kajo-Keji county of Central Equatoria.

“We express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims. We call on the transitional government to urgently identify and hold accountable those responsible for these deaths,” the Western nations said.

They called on the country’s leaders to act swiftly to address the underlying causes of this violence to prevent further loss of life.

The embassies also called on all South Sudanese groups and communities to resolve their differences peacefully.
