Peace Agreement: Is politics in South Sudan on the Cusp of a New Era?
The peace deal signed between the South Sudanese opposition factions in Khartoum on 17 January 2022 came as a glimmer of hope for achieving peace for all citizens of South Sudan.
That deal came after bloody clashes between the two opposing factions led by First Vice President Riek Machar, and the forces affiliated with Simon Gatwech Dual, Chief of the General Staff, at a time when the battles were concentrated in the Upper Nile State until the peace agreement that brought all parties together in south Sudan in 2018 was completely halted.
That deal, which was under the auspices of Sudan, was called the “Deal of the Brave”, and it will seek to live up to its name to guarantee just and perpetual implementation of the provision of the security agreements, thus ensuring a safe return for those who fled the fighting.
NGOs Major Group for Africa appreciates the effort made by everyone to make this deal a success, and recommends the implementation thereof by all parties, in order to achieve the SDG 16, as it promotes community peacebuilding through responsive, inclusive, and participatory decision-making at the level of South Sudan.
