NEW YORK : Amid political deadlock among signatories to the 2018 South Sudan peace agreement and a dangerous escalation in armed confrontations, Pakistan has called on all stakeholders to recommit to the agreement in good faith and to address differences through inclusive dialogue. “It is time for renewal of national consensus,”Ambassador Asim Ahmad, permanent representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, told the UN Security Council which on Tuesday debated the deteriorating situation in South Sudan, an African country that gained independence from the Republic of Sudan in 2011. The United Nations established the peacekeeping mission to help South Sudan stabilize. Although leaders signed a peace agreement in 2015, it quickly collapsed. A renewed peace deal — the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan — was signed in 2018, leading to the formation of a transitional Government.
