Machar: “I will return to Juba in December”

KHARTOUM (21 Sep.)

South Sudan's armed opposition leader Riek Machar says he will return to Juba to assume his position as First-Vice President in December this year.

In a press statement in Khartoum, Machar affirmed his commitment to the recently signed peace deal, saying he will come to Juba when the necessary arrangements are completed according to the implementation matrix.

The rebel leader promised that he will work with the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and international community to continue with the implementation of the peace agreement signed last August.

Speaking to the press in Khartoum, he pointed out that he had been invited by the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to visit Khartoum where he met Ugandan Yoweri Museveni.

The peace deal signed by President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar mandates the creation of a new power-sharing government in South Sudan within 90 days of signing. The period until then is called the “pre-transitional period.”

Hope for Justice for South Sudan The peace agreement that President Salva Kiir finally signed on August 26 – that will hopefully ensure an end to South Sudan’s current conflict – includes justice provisions that offer a chance to break a decades-long cycle of brutal abuses that South Sudanese have endured with no hope of recourse.

New violence in South Sudan despite peace deal South Sudan’s army and rebels come into armed conflict in northern Unity State, just two days after President Salva Kiir signed a long-awaited peace deal, the government says.
