south sudan. we were so optimistic when the country gained its independence and what's happened since then has been devastating and a little while ago i was mentioning of what a huge difference one enlightened leader who cares path atly about their own people and what a difference that has made to ethiopia and i mentioned the opposite of that, and i fear that that's exactly what we have seen in south sudan. the current peace process is the only peace process we have going. we will do our best to be supportive because everybody wants to see peace and reconciliation there. unfortunately, the leadership, to say that they -- that it was disheartening is an understatement. >> the role has been long term and significant. i assume it's remaining so? >> yes, sir. absolutely. ethiopia, of course, has been tremendously helpful on a number of fronts, both sudan and south sudan and south sudan is still one country. when i was ambassador i had a number of conversations with the prime minister mellis about the
