Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s First Vice President\u2019s Office has dismissed as \u2018false\u2019 claim by the minister of cabinet affairs Dr. Martin Elia Lomuro that the parties to the revitalized peace agreement have reached an agreement over the allocation of power within the unified army\u2019s command.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Lomuro told journalists during a press conference in Juba that the South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces (SSPDF), Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA-IO) and South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) had reached an agreement to allocate among themselves portfolios of the unified army command.<\/p>\n

However, in a statement this evening, the Press Secretary in the Office of the First Vice President and SPLM-IO Director of Information and Public Relations Puok Both Baluang said the government claim is not true and that no agreement has been reached between the different parties of the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Office of the First Vice President of the Republic of South Sudan H.E. Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon learned with great surprise and concern about the statement of Hon. Dr. Martin Elia Lomuro, Minister of Cabinet Affairs yesterday August 28, 2021 in Juba, citing that the parties to the Revitalized Peace Agreement had reached an agreement on the ratios of sharing the Command of the Unified Forces by 60:40 for ITGONU and the Opposition respectively,\u201d the statement extended to Sudans Post reads in part.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this context, we strongly refute this false information and also underscore that the issue remain unresolved. It is important to recall that the parties has agreed as contained in the Summary Report of the IGAD\/RJMEC Joint Security Mechanism Workshop held on 10th \u2013 11th May 2019 at Palm Africa Hotel, Juba, South Sudan that the determined ratios for establishment of the National Unified Forces \u2013 50% from the ITGONU and 50% from the opposition. (Resolution 14 -15),\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

He went on to explain that \u201cThis agreement was signed off on September 9, 2019 by Gen. Gabriel Jok Riak Makol, the former Chief of Defence of SSPDF and Lt. Gen. James Koang Chol, former Deputy Chief of General Staff for Administration and Finance of SPLA \u2013 IO in a report, signed by both, on the status of implementation of Transitional Security Arrangement (TSA) of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThereafter Gen. Johnson Juma Okot, the former Chief of Defence of SSPDF and Gen. Gabriel Duop Lam, the Deputy Chief of General Staff for Operations as JDB Co-Chairs on August 11, 2020 confirmed that agreement in a Special Report on the Structure and Positions in the Higher and Lower Echelons of the Security Forces of the Republic of South Sudan. This was also echoed by the Implementation Plan for Unification of the National Security Service which was signed on 8th June 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the aforementioned documents, President Salva Kiir has refused to accept them and this is what prompted the IGAD through its Chairperson, Sudan\u2019s Prime Minister H.E. Dr. Abdalla Hamdok visit Juba on 19 August 2021 to mediate between the parties on the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further said that the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) which mediated the revitalized peace agreement has made a proposal in which the SSPDF would be allocated 55 percent of the unified command, versus 45 percent for the SPLA-IO and South Sudan Opposition Alliance, which he said has not been yet discussed by the parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, we would like to inform the public that the last sharing ratios on the establishment of the Unified Command proposed by IGAD is 55:45 which the parties has not yet discussed,\u201d the statement further added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
