Following the official visit to Juba by President Mr. Sappan KC Hum, an official meeting was held with Hon. Albino Akol Atak Mayom, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management of the Republic of South Sudan, at the Main Hall of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management on 15 September 2026.

During the meeting, President KC thanked the Honourable Minister for receiving him and his delegation and for the warm welcome extended during his official peace mission to South Sudan.

President KC explained that his visit formed part of the Global Peace 2030 mission to promote lasting peace, national unity, reconciliation, humanitarian cooperation and non-violent solutions to conflict. He recognised the resilience of the people of South Sudan and stressed that lasting peace is essential to addressing humanitarian challenges, displacement and the needs of refugees and vulnerable communities.

President KC formally presented his special proposal for the declaration of South Sudan as a Peaceful Nation and a proposed National Peace, Reconciliation and Development Roadmap towards 2030. He also presented a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of the Minister’s contribution and continued service in the humanitarian field.

President KC emphasised that humanitarian challenges cannot be separated from the wider pursuit of peace. Continued conflict and instability increase displacement, deepen humanitarian needs and place additional pressure on communities and institutions. He therefore called for stronger national and international cooperation to protect civilians, assist displaced people and refugees, support vulnerable communities and create conditions that allow people to rebuild their lives in safety and dignity.

He encouraged the Government of the Republic of South Sudan to advance an appropriate national process towards declaring South Sudan a Peaceful Nation. President KC explained that such a declaration would not mean that every national challenge had already been resolved, but would demonstrate a strong commitment to rejecting violence, resolving differences peacefully and placing human dignity and national unity at the centre of the country’s future.

President KC also stressed the importance of inclusive dialogue and reconciliation in addressing the underlying causes of humanitarian crises. He reaffirmed the readiness of the Europe Peace Foundation and Global Peace 2030 to support transparent dialogue, mediation, humanitarian cooperation and peacebuilding efforts involving the Government, communities and other relevant stakeholders.

He further called upon political leaders, communities and all parties to reject violence and inflammatory language and to support peaceful political processes. President KC said that reducing violence and strengthening national dialogue would directly contribute to reducing displacement and humanitarian suffering.

During their discussions, President KC and the Honourable Minister exchanged views on the humanitarian situation in South Sudan, the challenges facing displaced people and refugees, and the importance of connecting humanitarian action with long-term peace, reconciliation and development.

Hon. Albino Akol Atak Mayom welcomed President KC and expressed appreciation for his visit and international peace initiative. The Minister encouraged President KC to continue his work for peace and welcomed efforts that could contribute positively to humanitarian cooperation, national dialogue, reconciliation and stability in South Sudan.

President KC thanked the Honourable Minister for the constructive discussion and reaffirmed his commitment to working with the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, the Government of the Republic of South Sudan and other stakeholders in support of humanitarian action and lasting peace.

“Humanitarian suffering cannot be separated from conflict. When we build peace, we protect lives, reduce displacement and give families the opportunity to rebuild their future. South Sudan has the opportunity to send a new message of peace and hope to Africa and the world,” President KC stated.

President KC was accompanied by members of the Europe Peace Foundation and Global Peace 2030 Representation Office in South Sudan, including Mr. Amute Francis Lobalu Tongoyiamoi, Head of the Representation Office; Mr. Mborimbuko Simo Kalesto, Deputy Head; Mr. Thirik Lang Mijak, Finance and Administration Officer; Ms. Anna Suzan, Humanitarian Affairs and Protection Officer; Mr. Paul Lorem Aminathia, Project, Grant and Compliance Officer; Mrs. Nyabalash Juaj Bol, Health Programmes and Safety Officer; Ms. Flora Lokudu Latio, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding Officer; Mr. Moses Jamaica Sakondo, Social Dialogue and Mediation Officer; and Mr. Sunge Emmanuel, ICT and Communications Officer.

President KC has been on an official visit to the Republic of South Sudan since 13 September 2026 as part of his Global Peace 2030 mission. His programme in Juba includes engagements with senior government officials and representatives of communities, youth, civil society and refugee communities, with discussions focused on peace, reconciliation, humanitarian concerns and cooperation towards lasting peace by 2030.

On 14 September 2026, President Mr. Sappan KC Hum held an official meeting with the Honourable Dr. Wek Mamer Kuol, Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs of the Republic of South Sudan.

During the meeting, President KC expressed his gratitude to the Honourable Minister for receiving the delegation and for the warm welcome extended to him during his official peace mission to South Sudan.

President KC explained that his visit formed part of the Global Peace 2030 mission, which seeks to promote lasting peace, national unity, reconciliation, human rights, justice, the rule of law and non-violent solutions to conflict. He recognised the courage and resilience of the people of South Sudan and expressed his conviction that they deserve lasting peace, security, development and a better future.

President KC formally presented his special proposal for the declaration of South Sudan as a “Peaceful Nation,” along with a Certificate of Appreciation recognising and encouraging the Minister’s continued contribution to peace. He also reaffirmed his commitment to supporting lasting peace and a National Peace and Reconciliation Roadmap for South Sudan towards 2030.

He urged the Government of the Republic of South Sudan to begin the appropriate national process to declare South Sudan a Peaceful Nation. He explained that such a declaration would not suggest that every conflict or national challenge had already ended. Rather, it would represent a strong national commitment to reject violence, resolve disagreements peacefully, protect human dignity and build a united and prosperous country.

President KC also proposed the adoption of a National Peace, Reconciliation and Development Roadmap towards 2030. The proposed roadmap would support inclusive national dialogue, community reconciliation, justice, constitutional development, the protection of civilians, respect for human rights, voluntary disarmament, peace education and the meaningful participation of women and young people.

He emphasised that justice and the rule of law are essential foundations for lasting peace. He therefore encouraged continued efforts to strengthen public confidence in national institutions, guarantee equal protection under the law and ensure that constitutional processes contribute to stability, inclusion and peaceful democratic development.

President KC called upon all political leaders, communities and parties to reject violence and inflammatory language and to support free, fair, credible, transparent, inclusive and peaceful elections. He further offered the support of the Europe Peace Foundation and Global Peace 2030 for transparent dialogue and mediation between the Government and all relevant parties to the conflict.

President KC also requested an official written statement from the Government of the Republic of South Sudan recognising Global Peace 2030 and supporting its objectives of advancing lasting peace, stability, dialogue and international cooperation.

In response, the Honourable Dr. Wek Mamer Kuol welcomed President KC and expressed his appreciation for the visit and the peace initiative. He encouraged President KC to continue his international work for peace and expressed support for the objectives of Global Peace 2030.

The Honourable Minister stated that South Sudan supports peace and initiatives that can contribute positively to national dialogue, reconciliation and stability. He welcomed President KC’s proposed peace roadmap and his vision of advancing lasting peace in South Sudan by 2030.

The Minister also expressed the Government’s readiness to welcome President KC’s constructive participation in national dialogue and peace processes where his contribution and international peace mission could support ongoing national efforts.

President KC thanked the Honourable Minister for his positive response, encouragement and support. He reaffirmed his readiness to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, the Government of South Sudan and other stakeholders in advancing justice, reconciliation, national dialogue and lasting peace.

At the conclusion of the meeting, President KC again urged the Government and people of South Sudan to embrace the vision of declaring the country a Peaceful Nation and to work together towards lasting peace by 2030.

“South Sudan can send a new message of hope to Africa and the world. Peace is the foundation of justice, unity, development and a secure future for every citizen,” President KC stated.

https://www.europefoundation.org/kc-on-situation-ethiopia

Statement
1 October 2026 - I am deeply concerned by reports of explosions in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, alongside renewed fighting in Tigray and the neighbouring Amhara and Afar regions. These developments raise grave concerns for civilian safety. I call on all parties to cease hostilities immediately, protect civilians and come to the peace table.

I have repeatedly called for dialogue. Today, I renew my invitation to Ethiopia to join the “Peaceful Nation” roadmap under Global Peace 2030. There can be no justification for continued violence when people seek peace, stability and national unity.

My position is clear: peace in Ethiopia is possible. All parties involved must agree to a ceasefire and engage in meaningful peace talks. I stand ready to support dialogue and assist in mediation with the agreement of the parties.

The people of Ethiopia deserve lasting peace, stability and national unity. Let us work together to achieve these goals.

Peace is the only solution.

Mr. KC’s Statement on Iraq

https://www.europefoundation.org/kc-on-iraq

29 September 2026 - Since 2003, the people of Iraq have endured years of conflict and violence. Today, they deserve lasting peace, stability and a brighter future for their beautiful country.

As the international coalition’s military withdrawal moves forward, I hope this moment opens a new chapter for Iraq and contributes to peace across the region. At the same time, Iraq continues to face violence and the effects of regional tensions. I call on all parties involved in violence to respect the people’s wish for peace and come to the negotiating table. The people must come first. There must be no more conflict or violence.

I call on the international community to support peace in Iraq and respect the interests of the Iraqi people. I look forward to Iraq joining the “Peaceful Nation” path of my Global Peace 2030 initiative. I also hope to visit this beautiful country soon.
