Atem emphasized the importance of stability in Sudan, explaining that any disorder or breakdown in security and the economy would have a detrimental impact on both Sudan and South Sudan. He called for unity among political forces in South Sudan to work together towards a stable future. Atem highlighted the need for cooperation between the government and political forces that have been marginalized and pushed to the sidelines, emphasizing that by working together, they could address the challenges facing Sudan.
Atem also acknowledged the presence of a political force with strategic thinking in the country, suggesting that there is an opportunity for this group to participate in finding solutions to the issues in Sudan. He noted that there is a perception among the people that any center for strategic thinking is automatically seen as opposition to the government, highlighting the importance of changing this mindset. Atem urged for dialogue and collaboration among politicians, journalists, opinion leaders, academics, activists, and senior citizens who have experience in Sudan to come together and find peaceful solutions to the ongoing conflict.
The discussion, which took place in Juba and was moderated by independent journalist Mathiang Cirrilo, aimed to gather ideas and perspectives from individuals who have served in Sudan during the transitional period before South Sudan seceded in 2011. The participants included former politicians from the government of national unity, as well as individuals with connections to different political groups within Sudan. The dialogue sought to explore ways to address the conflict in Sudan, with a focus on peaceful dialogue and cooperation among various stakeholders.
This discussion was part of a series of dialogues initiated by South Sudanese journalists and activists to find a solution to the conflict in Sudan. The prolonged situation in Sudan has a direct impact on the economic, security, and political stability of South Sudan, as the country relies on oil exports through Sudan to reach the international market. By bringing together individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences, these dialogues aim to foster collaboration and understanding among different groups to work towards a peaceful resolution in Sudan.
Overall, Atem’s message underscores the importance of unity and cooperation among political forces in South Sudan to contribute to the stability and peace in both countries. By engaging in dialogue and working together towards common goals, there is a potential for positive change and progress in addressing the challenges facing Sudan and its impact on the region.
