　　The United States continues to support regional andinternational efforts to bring the warring parties inSouth Sudan back to the bargaining table and endthe fighting in the troubled East African nation.

　　In a meeting April 10 in Washington with SouthSudanese minister Awan Riak, Secretary of StateJohn Kerry expressed our nation’s grave concernabout the conflict and resulting humanitarian crisisthat forced hundreds of thousands of people thereto flee their homes. He also called on all SouthSudanese leaders to prioritize the interests of theSouth Sudanese people over their own.

　　Fighting erupted in mid-December, triggered by an apparent power struggle between thegovernment of President Salva Kiir and rebels led by former Vice President Reik Macher.

　　The roots of this crisis run deep, reaching well back before fighting erupted. Many historicalgrievances remained after creation of the new nation in 2011. On top of that, the governmentprogressively reduced the ability for political activists, media and civil society to voice theirconcerns.

　　When the Intergovernmental Authority on Development-sponsored negotiations resume, thepolitical settlement must be more than a quick fix. Accommodating the two parties and theirimmediate needs will not bring a sustainable peace. A spectrum of South Sudanesestakeholders must be brought into the process and allowed to take part in national affairs.Reconciliation must also follow, as well as accountability for the serious human rights abusesthat have occurred.

　　The suffering has gone on too long. The world is waiting for all parties in the conflict to finallyimplement the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement they signed on January 23. The fightingmust end now.
