Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.37,0:00:04.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In recent weeks, rising violence and fighting have taken the lives of innocent
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.45,0:00:07.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,civillians- men, women and children.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.85,0:00:12.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Heated rhetoric on both sides has raised the risk of war.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.02,0:00:16.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So today I want to speak directly to you- the people of Sudan and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.57,0:00:20.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,South Sudan. In your lives you've endured extraordinary hardships.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.83,0:00:24.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You carry in your hearts the memory of family and friends you've lost;
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.55,0:00:28.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in recent years against great odds, you've made remarkable
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.67,0:00:32.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,progress toward breaking the violent cycles of the past
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.17,0:00:36.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,toward building a future of peace and greater prosperity.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.08,0:00:40.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now all that progress is at risk of unraveling.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.25,0:00:44.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So my message to you today is simple: It doesn't have
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.62,0:00:48.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be this way. Conflict is not inevitable.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.60,0:00:52.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You still have a choice. You still have a chance to avoid being dragged
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.23,0:00:56.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back into war which only leads to one place- more suffering,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.78,0:01:00.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more refugees, more death, more
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.47,0:01:04.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lost dreams for you and your children. We know what
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.44,0:01:08.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,needs to happen. The Government of Sudan must stop its military actions,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.67,0:01:12.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,including aerial bombardments. It must give aid workers the access
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.45,0:01:16.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they need to save lives. And it must end its support for armed groups
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.74,0:01:20.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inside the south. Likewise, the Government of South Sudan
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.52,0:01:24.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,must end its support for armed groups inside Sudan and it must cease
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.67,0:01:28.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,its military actions across the border. The presidents of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.39,0:01:32.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sudan and South Sudan must have the courage to return to the table and negotiate
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.43,0:01:36.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and resolve these issues peacefully. And all of those who are
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.63,0:01:40.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fighting, including in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile, must
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.45,0:01:44.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recognise there is no military solution. The only way to achieve
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.54,0:01:48.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,real and lasting security is to resolve your differences through negotiation.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.57,0:01:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In times of tension, it's easy to forget that your future is shared.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.00,0:01:57.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You will never be at peace if your neighbour feels threatened.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.95,0:02:00.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You will never see development and progress, if your neighbour
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.96,0:02:04.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,refuses to be your partner in trade and commerce.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.23,0:02:07.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's easier to start wars than to end them.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.20,0:02:10.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And yes, peace is hard, but the forces of history
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.58,0:02:15.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which sometimes seems so large are not beyond our control. Your future belongs
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.97,0:02:19.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to you. It is in your hands. You have the power,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.52,0:02:23.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the choice to say what comes next-
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.65,0:02:27.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether your children will live in war or peace. The choice is yours,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.92,0:02:32.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and now is the time to choose peace. As I've said before,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.22,0:02:35.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those who have the courage to walk the path of peace will not be alone.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.96,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They will have a strong and steady partner in the United States of America.
