The 2018 Revitalized Peace Agreement in South Sudan faces a “serious risk” of collapse unless regional powers intervene to stop escalating violence and political repression, the UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan warned Friday.
Commission Chair Yasmin Sooka stated the peace agreement is “in crisis,” with renewed violence pushing it “to the brink of irrelevance” and threatening further fragmentation of the country.
Military offensives by the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF), including recent airstrikes on civilian areas, have caused widespread casualties and displacement.
A state of emergency is in effect in several regions, with reports of Ugandan forces supporting SSPDF operations and new military recruitment defying security reform commitments.
Commissioner Carlos Castresana Fernandez emphasized that the world cannot remain “a bystander” while civilians are bombed and opposition voices are silenced, stating that “these senseless attacks must stop.”
The commission highlighted arbitrary detentions of opposition figures, including First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, and shrinking civic space as signs of a deepening crisis.
Upper Nile State, already struggling with food insecurity, is particularly impacted and serves as a key corridor for Sudanese refugees, fueling fears of regional destabilization.
Commissioner Barney Afako warned that undermining the peace process is “an act of profound folly and recklessness” that will “reignite violence, deepen insecurity, and impose further grave violations.”
