JUBA – Outgoing UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), David Shearer, said on Tuesday that continued delay in the implementation of the revitalized peace agreement may affect elections timeline in the world’s youngest country which are due at the end of the transitional period in 2022.

Shearer who was addressing journalists at the UN House in Tongpiny also said the delay in the implementation of the 2018 revitalized peace agreement is paving ways for peace spoilers to exploit local tensions and fuel conflict in South Sudan.

“I think we all agree the pace of implementation has been far too slow and that has heightened doubt and frustration. It could put in jeopardy the plan to hold elections at the end of the transitional period and it has opened opportunities for peace spoilers to exploit local tensions and fuel conflict,” the outgoing UN envoy said.

Between January to July 2020, the UNMISS said it documented 575 incidents of sub-national violence which include the killing of 600 people in Jonglei State and kidnapping of women and children.

Shearer expressed deep concerns over recent increase in sub-national violence in Maban, Warrap, Jonglei and Akoko, saying it is bad for the stability of the country.

“We are following up on the Jonglei conference that the government hosted, to look at the root causes of the conflict, particularly by bringing local youth and church leaders together,” he said.

He said that UNMISS is looking at innovative ways of deploying its troops in seven areas to mitigate the issues of subnational violence in the country.

    “Outgoing UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), David Shearer,”.

    A New Zealand piece of lowly educated fool. He ran away from New Zealand and came to South Sudan to come be and made anyone. And I dare say, he fucked some of our foolish *Nuers ke nyantoc, our so-called Twic East of Rebecca Nayandeng and some of their low lives in Equatoria who worship these vermins/parasites* And hoped that their UN, sleazy NGOs, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, some of their Bantuses, their evil juus (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes; their Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans and some of their creeps in between who have attached themselves to our country and over people.

    WW3 is going to start here in South Sudan and we are going to bomb these vermins/parasites out of map once and for all, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM
