African Dialogue

A leading official says South Sudan’s governing Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) would make reconciliation, unity and forgiveness a top priority during the transitional period of the government of national unity. Former South Sudanese cabinet affairs minister, Deng Alor Kuol, said the work of the secretary general of the SPLM, Pagan Amum, as chief administrator in the party, would be dedicated to organizing the party.
