EU welcomes unity gov't in S. Sudan

BRUSSELS, April 29 (KUNA) -- The EU welcomed Friday the formation of the Transitional Government of National Unity in South Sudan.
"It is long overdue and now the leadership must work to deliver peace and security, as well as humanitarian access for the people of South Sudan. The challenges are tremendous and the task of restoring normality and hope is the final goal of this transitional period," said EU High Representative Federica Mogherini and EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides in a joint statement.
They said that the EU will support the Transitional Government of National Unity "so long as it demonstrates that it will act to overcome the divisions of the recent past." (end) nk.mt
