The Catholic Bishops of South Sudan and Sudan vow to bless any plan "B" or "C'' that the international community will enforce if the SPLM-IO and the South Sudanese Government fail to implement the peace agreement.
The Bishops in a message after their extraordinary meeting in Rome, Italy, said that they will bless an appropriate plan to rescue the situation of South Sudan.
They expressed concern that the peace process should not hold this time as South Sudan is already described as "failed state".
The Bishops are also calling for more efforts for dialogue and peace in theSudan.They encourage attempts of the warring parties of the Sudan to bring lasting peace to Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan.
The Bishops regret the resumption of bombardments of innocent people in these areas this month.They call on the Sudanese now to be the first to realize that war and killing do not solve problems.
The Bishops urged the Government of both Sudan and South Sudan to sit with warring factions and negotiate for a just and peaceful settlement to the conflict.
Meanwhile the United Nations panel of experts has recommended the blacklisting of President SalvaKiir and SPLM-IO leader Dr RiekMachar and imposing of arms embargo on South Sudan.
In the leaked confidential report seen by Reuters, the experts say they uncovered direct links between people who committed crimes on both sides of the conflict and the two leaders.They said that high-ranking officials of the Government and SPLM/A-IO knew exactly the crimes were being committed.
The report also asserts that UN’s peacekeepers are "regularly attacked, harassed, detained, intimidated and threatened.” However, it did not specify who attacked UN soldiers.
The diplomats and experts believe the latest report will place President Kiir and Dr Machar on sanction list.If the report is approved by the 15-member UN Security Council, the two leaders will be banned from travelling and asset freezes will also be enacted.
President Kiir and Dr Machar failed to form a transitional government on January 22.
