Wasiwasi waongezeka juu ya usalama na mvutano wa kisiasa licha ya tangazo la serikali.
Baada ya serikali ya Sudan Kusini kuthibitisha kuwa uchaguzi mkuu utafanyika Disemba 2026, wadau mbalimbali wameanza kuonyesha wasiwasi kuhusu mazingira ya kisiasa na kiusalama nchini humo.
Tangazo hilo lililotolewa na Waziri wa Habari, Ateny Wek Ateny, lilionyesha dhamira ya serikali kumaliza mchakato wa mpito bila kucheleweshwa tena. Hata hivyo, wachambuzi wa siasa wanaonya kuwa hali ya sasa inaweza kuathiri uaminifu wa uchaguzi huo.
Moja ya sababu kuu ya wasiwasi ni kukamatwa kwa Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais, Riek Machar, tukio lililoongeza mvutano wa kisiasa kati ya pande hasimu. Aidha, ripoti zinaonyesha kuwa baadhi ya maeneo, hasa katika jimbo la Jonglei, bado yanakumbwa na ukosefu wa usalama.
Hali hiyo tayari imesababisha maelfu ya watu kuyahama makazi yao, jambo linaloweza kuathiri ushiriki wa wananchi katika uchaguzi.
Wakati serikali ikisisitiza kuwa nchi iko katika “amani ya jumla”, wadau wanataka hatua zaidi zichukuliwe kuhakikisha kuwa uchaguzi unakuwa huru, wa haki na salama kwa wananchi wote.
