South Sudan is surrounded by countries afflicted by conflict. As part of its obligation to promote peace and stability in the region and beyond, South Sudan successfully played a mediating role in the armed conflict in the Sudan, which resulted into the signing of Juba Peace Agreement in 2020. South Sudan stands ready to mediate in the current conflict between the Sudanese Army and the Forces of Freedom and Change in the Sudan so that the country can finally enjoy lasting peace. Recently, South Sudan also offered to mediate to resolve the tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia over their disagreement on the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. We further demonstrated willingness to mediate in the internal conflict in Ethiopia between the Ethiopian Government and the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front. Furthermore, the Republic of South Sudan made itself available to play a mediating role on the border issue between the Republic of the Sudan and the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
