00:00South Sudan is just six weeks away from its first national vote since independence,
00:05but the United Nations is now warning that the real test will come after polling day.
00:09UNMIS chief Anita Kikibeho told the Security Council the country's political transition must remain anchored in the 2018 peace agreement.
00:18The elections are scheduled for 22nd December.
00:21Ultimately, the challenge facing South Sudan is not simply whether elections can be held on December 22nd or not.
00:31It is whether the transition can preserve peace, strengthen political confidence and deliver on the commitments made to the people
00:41of South Sudan.
00:42The true measure of success is simple. Whether South Sudanese citizens are safer tomorrow than they are today.
00:53Tensions are risen since President Salva Kirbi solved the transitional unity government in September
00:58and appointed a caretaker administration. Proposition groups say the move violates the power-sharing deal.
01:04There are also concerns about whether the government can afford the vote.
