I am honored to speak on behalf of South Sudanese civil society. As @defenddefenders we call on the international community to respond swiftly to the urgent appeal for sustainable peace in South Sudan.
🇸🇸 Enhanced interactive dialogue on #SouthSudan — Read @MemoryBandera' address to the @UN_HRC 🇺🇳View quoted post on X
Memory spoke from the podium, as a civil society representative, and highlighted:
▫️ That this is the most dangerous time since the 2018 Revitalised Peace Agreement.
▪️ The role of civil society & human rights defenders (#HRDs).
▫️ The need for the international community to re-prioritise South Sudan, support the @UNCHRSS, and stand ready to respond to any further deterioration of the situation.
