South Sudan peace monitors on Monday called for concerted efforts among all the country's stakeholders to help shore up the peace deal.



The Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC) briefed a visiting delegation from the African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council (AUPSC) in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, on the political and security situation.



According to the RJMEC, the current situation in the country is risking a relapse into protracted armed conflict.



RJMEC Chief of Staff Berhanu Kebede called for "the concerted efforts of all stakeholders to prevail on the Parties to the Agreement to chart a path back to lasting peace."



"The long-suffering people of South Sudan yearn for lasting peace and security," Kebede said in a statement issued after the meeting in Juba.
