- DescriptionA dialogue conference between multiple ethnic communities across Jonglei state and the Upper nile region. The agreement involves various sets of resolutions from each of the inter-community and intra-clan dialogues aimed at ending clan violence, with a final set of overall recommendations. Substantively the agreement addresses water access and grazing areas, calling for the guarantee of these pastoralist oriented allowances across all contested areas of the upper nile region and Jonglei state. It also calls on Government and other political and military factions such as SPLA to ensure internal borders are secure and safe for people's free movement. Each of the community dialogues also recognises the overall need for disarming among communities, particularly community level militias and call for the restoration of traditional leaders and chiefs' authority as part of local governance.
