Former Kenyan PM Engages in Fruitful Talks with President Kiir, Hints at Possible Resolution to South Sudan Conflict

Juba, South Sudan – (SONNA) Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who is currently leading a high-level mediation mission on behalf of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), has expressed optimism about a possible resolution to the political crisis in South Sudan following a detailed discussion with President Salva Kiir in Juba.

In a statement posted on social media, the former PM described the talks as “fruitful” and indicated that progress had been made toward stabilizing the conflict-ridden nation.

“I am encouraged by the possibility of a resolution to the conflict,” he said, adding that he would soon brief other regional leaders, including Kenyan President William Ruto, on the outcomes of his mission and a potential roadmap to sustainable peace.

South Sudan has endured years of political instability and violent clashes since gaining independence in 2011, with intermittent peace agreements failing to bring lasting stability. The IGAD-led initiative represents the latest regional effort to mediate between key stakeholders, including President Kiir and opposition groups.

The former Kenyan PM, known for his diplomatic experience, did not disclose specific details of the proposed roadmap but emphasized the importance of dialogue and regional cooperation in resolving the crisis.

Following his engagement in Juba, the former Prime Minister is expected to present his findings to IGAD member states and President Ruto, who has been actively involved in regional peace efforts. Analysts suggest that a coordinated approach involving neighboring countries could be crucial in ensuring the success of any new peace initiative.

The international community has long called for a durable political solution in South Sudan, with the United Nations and African Union repeatedly urging leaders to prioritize peace. The latest mediation efforts have been welcomed by observers, though some remain cautious, given past failures in implementation.

As the former Kenyan PM prepares to debrief regional leaders, hopes are rising that this new initiative could pave the way for a breakthrough in one of Africa’s most protracted conflicts.
