South Sudan Election: UN Warns Time Is Running Out

Juba, South Sudan — The United Nations has raised fresh concerns about South Sudan’s preparations for elections scheduled for December, warning that there is still a lot of work to be done to create the conditions needed for a peaceful vote.

The country has struggled with political instability and violence since gaining independence in 2011.

The UN Security Council has called for stronger political dialogue and renewed efforts to protect the peace agreement that helped bring an end to the country’s devastating civil war.

With the December elections approaching, concerns remain over security, political disagreements and the implementation of the 2018 peace agreement.

The UN has stressed that political leaders must work together rather than allow disagreements to push the country back towards violence.

For ordinary South Sudanese, the elections are being closely watched. After years of conflict and displacement, many citizens want a peaceful political process and greater stability.

The coming months will therefore be critical for South Sudan as the country prepares for a vote that could shape its political future.
