Gittuai, the Interim Chairperson of the R-JMEC, Dr. Lam said they however heard of the ongoing plans for a meeting in Ugandan on social media and urged the peace monitoring body\u2019s leader to include all parties to the revitalized peace agreement in the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the closing months of last year, there were media reports that a meeting was being planned in Uganda for the two Chairmen of the SPLM-IG and SPLM\/A-10 who double as the President and First Vice President, respectively,\u201d Dr. Lam wrote in the letter dated February 16 and obtained by Sudans Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs reported, the purpose of the meeting was to consider the challenges facing the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS). Now, these reports are becoming persistent and this prompted us to write to your Excellency to state our position on the matter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs your Excellency is aware, the political Parties to R-ARCSS are five: ITGONU, SPLM\/A-IO, SSOA, SPLM-FDs and OPP. These are the parties that signed the agreement and that are now engaged in its implementation. It is the same parties that discussed and adopted the extensions of the Pre-Transitional Period in May and November 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are also the Parties referred to in Article 8.4 of R-ARCSS in relation to its possible amendment. Therefore, any evaluation of the status of implementation of R-ARCSS must involve all of them, more so because the fingers on stalled implementation process point to the top echelon of the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf these reports are true, we would like to alert your Excellency that such a retreat must be inclusive of all Parties to R-ARCSS so that, as previously, all points of view are heard and taken into consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
