On the situation in South Sudan, the Heads of State noted that the current crisis has serious implications on regional peace and security. <\/p>\n

They rejected attempts of unconstitutional change of Government as enshrined in the African Union Constitutive Act. <\/p>\n

The Heads of State strongly condemned the recent attack by the rebels in South Sudan on the town of Malakal on the 18th February 2014, as this constituted a serious violation of the cessation of hostilities agreement signed on the 23rd January 2014 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. <\/p>\n
