The Chollo (Shulluk) Community Council and intellectuals in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum have questioned the ability of the national dialogue committee set up by President Kiir to find solutions to the current governance problems in South Sudan, according to a new report released by the national dialogue delegation dispatched to Khartoum in July.
The national dialogue team led by Deputy Co-chair Gabriel Yoal Dok met with the council in Khartoum on 24 July to listen to the Cholo grievances and consult on the dialogue process.
The report said that the chairman of the council asserted that the primary objective of the Chollo Community Council is to restore the Shulluk land.
The national dialogue report pointed out that the Chollo council asked whether the national dialogue effort is to constitute a new system of governance or not.
It also expressed concerned over massive displacement of the Shuluk tribe were, adding that the formation of the new states is the main cause of the crisis in the Shuluk land.
The tribal council pointed out that Shilluk areas have been grabbed.
Separately, the national dialogue team to Khartoum said in its report that it met with chiefs representing the defunct 10 States and traditional leaders from Abyei area.
The chief, the report said, asked the government to protect human rights throughout the national dialogue process and restore the authority of traditional leaders.
The report pointed out that the traditional leaders called for peace and security in South Sudan before the people of South Sudan could return to the country.
The chiefs have reportedly accused the ruling SPLM party of causing the ongoing conflict in South Sudan.
