A high-ranking presidential aide told Sudan Tribune on Tuesday that
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration Trump has pledged to
support the national dialogue process led by President Salva Kiir and
shows no interest in supporting a new political initiate to
renegotiate the agreement signed in August 2015.
“We have been getting positive signals and assurances of support for
national dialogue from the new administration of President Donald
Trump. There have been high-level engagements over the past days
between the office of the president and officials from U.S. State
Department,” a presidential aide said on Tuesday.
Also, Gordon Buay, a South Sudanese diplomat based in Washington told
Sudan Tribune during a separate interview on Tuesday that the U.S.
administration was supportive of the national dialogue as the best way
to resolve political issues in the country.
“As the government, we commend the new US administration for
supporting the national dialogue which our president has declared. The
dialogue is the only way to chart the way forward and President Salva
Kiir and the transitional government of national unity is committed to
finding a solution. The president and the First Vice President, Gen.
Taban Deng Gai, are committed to end this situation and to bring peace
and stability to the country,” said Buay.
The diplomat described Trump administration as supportive to national
dialogue than a new political initiative, including attempts and views
advocating for new peace talks.
South Sudanese opposition criticises the national dialogue initiative
launched by President Kiir. They say this process intrinsically is not
valid because it should be inclusive and comprehensive. Also, they
reject that he appoint himself as its chairman.
The opponents point that the dialogue should not be confused with the
Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South
Sudan (ARCRSS) which provides to implement security arrangements
including the ceasefire and the formation of a national government
tasked with the political reforms.

Great move Mr. Trump! Although you’re not perfect other issues,
we’re all humans, therefore, you shouldn’t be 100% perfect. President
Salva Kiir and the entire governments will be happy working with
administration. We welcome you!

solution, make sure S. Sudanese have kwon u than ever before. Killer,

Peace in South Sudan will come from within the hearts of South
Sudanese and not Americans. Humble and honest approach to peace talks
must form the primary ingredients of peace search.
