Through their chairperson Bol Ayak Adem Deng, the youth said the process is critical to the painstaking peace-building process in Africa`s youngest nation that was plagued by a ruinous civil war for more than two decades.
He was speaking at a news conference in Nakuru as South Sudan Marks its 10th Independence anniversary amid a humanitarian crisis and a fragile peace deal in the oil-rich country that international observers say is making it difficult for many to move forward.
He observed that added experts to the Gichira Kibara led committee will fast-track the process that seeks to ensure there is cohesion and integration after decades of politically motivated strife in the Country.
Deng commended the Government of Kenya for its wavering support in helping South Sudan trace a pathway to lasting peace for cohesive development saying this support has helped to calm hostilities in the oil-rich country that killed more than 400,000 people and displaced millions.
He urged Sudanese youths studying in Kenya to join hands with other international friends of South Sudan and support peace-building initiatives in the Republic in the effort to create a conducive environment for meaningful development in a post-conflict South Sudan.
The youths called on the South Sudanese leaders that are party to the peace deal that is anchored on the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict (R-ARCSS) to remain committed to fulfilling the remaining part of the peace deal in the bid for cohesion and integration in South Sudan.
Women Representative to the caucus Jasline Duda Wani observed that the implementation of the peace deal will only be practical if parties are committed to it without ill will or suspicion for each other.
A United Nations findings in April this year established that the slow pace of implementing a mutual peace accord between the Government of South Sudan under the leadership of Salva Kiir and now First Vice President Riek Machar risks a relapse into “large-scale more ruinous conflict”.
The final drafting of a constitution widely anticipated to create lasting peace began on May 25.
Other points of the peace accord, such as the formation of a unified national army, remain to be resolved.
