Netherlands Implores Government and Opposition Parties to build trust and confidence

[...] “We cannot make the peace, we can only promise you that once you decide to make peace and show the international community that the guns have been silenced and that people can come back to their homes, there will be an outpouring of resources again to support you, but that confidence has to exist," says Netherlands Ambassador to South Sudan, Geert Geut. 

Speaking on the Nationwide Program, Ambassador Geert Guet said building trust and confidence is essential to attract more international support.  

Ambassador Geut stressed that  “There is only one enemy in South Sudan and that is poverty."

"So if you agree to put your individual squabbles behind you and focus on the task at hand and concentrate on development, I am sure there are so many natural resources in South Sudan, I am sure within one generation South Sudan has the ability to develop into a very prosperous country.”
