Known as \u2018R-ARCSS\u2019, the peace agreement has however failed to advance permanent peace and stability in the world\u2019s youngest country given continued disagreements over advantages by the country\u2019s most powerful politicians.<\/p>\n<p>The PCCA was formed in August last year with aim of galvanising the people of South Sudan for uprising, accusing Kiir and Machar of failing to bring permanent peace following several years of war as well as signing of at least two peace agreements.<\/p>\n<p>In a memo sent to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the regional bloc which mediated South Sudan\u2019s peace agreement, the PCCA said the regional mediation under the IGAD focused on creation of an agreement between Kiir and Machar to ensure power-sharing between the two men rather addressing the root causes of the conflict in South Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that the IGAD mediators did an admirable job in trying to resolve the conflict in South Sudan. We however feel that an error was committed when the mediation focused on the creation of an elite pact that has no relation to the reality of the situation in the country,\u201d the memo signed by the group\u2019s leaders, Abraham Awolich, Rajab Muhades, and Joseph Akol Makeer, reads in part.<\/p>\n<p>The document extended to Sudans Post went on to say that \u201cthe problem in South Sudan was defined exclusively as a power struggle between two people; President Kiir and Dr. Riek Machar\u201d and that \u201cthere is some truth to this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While pointing to leadership shortcomings as cause of failure of the agreement, the group said the deal itself has largely focused on power sharing between the two and ignored the failure of leadership needed to implement the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ARCSS and the R-ARCSS have focused on resolving the power struggle between individuals, but the failure of leadership and of the state have all but been ignored,\u201d the group said.<\/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.
