00:00South Sudan President Salvakia dissolved the transitional government on Tuesday,
00:05hours after signing amendments to election laws that removed requirements to complete a permanent constitution before a planned vote in
00:13December.
00:14Elections are due on December 22, having trice been postponed,
00:18but the government has failed to implement almost any of the preconditions set out in a 2018 peace deal.
00:25So my appeal is to our politicians, to our political parties, to convert their political ideas into bullet paper and
00:36not bullets.
00:39It is the work of every politician, every political party, every citizen to ensure that this election is peaceful.
00:47Analysts say the changes give care in power since 2011, monopoly over the transition.
00:53His rival, former Vice President Riek Machar, remains in detention on treason charges.
