South Sudan urges ballots over bullets ahead of elections

Original: ‘Ballot must replace the bullets’, South Sudan tells General Assembly ahead of elections

South Sudan's address to the United Nations General Assembly carried a clear message: the country's planned transition must happen through voting, not violence, as it prepares for its first elections since independence. The appeal underscores concern that political competition could reignite conflict in a nation still recovering from civil war, with international attention focused on whether the vote stays on schedule.

Why now: South Sudan is approaching long-delayed elections and there are fears the process could trigger renewed violence.
