Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement\/Army in Opposition (SPLM\/A-IO), has launched its party\u2019s general headquarters in Unity State in a bid to transform the movement into a political party.<\/p>\n

The Director for Information and Public Relations, who doubles as the acting press secretary in the office of the first vice president, Puok Both Baluang, yesterday stated that the party was awaiting the political parties\u2019 act to be passed for the movement to be registered as a political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is among the plans of the SPLM\/A-IO to transform from an armed movement to a political party.\u201d \u201c[We are waiting for] the parliament to pass the political party law or act so that we can register as a political party in South Sudan,\u2019\u2019 he told The City Review.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018After this, we are going to have offices in all 10 states,\u201d Puok said.<\/p>\n

Baluang cautioned that they were not conducting any mass mobilisation or rallies for the elections because the election is supposed to be the last item to be implemented in the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS).<\/p>\n

\u2018Not a rally\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cElections are the endpoint of the agreement, and this was not a rally.\u201d It was [for] preparing our grassroots and trying to set up our foundation as a political party. \u201cAfter the graduation of the unified forces, we will transform from SPLM\/SPLA-IO to SPLM-IO,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just a start and a foundation, and people have turned up in huge numbers, celebrating the presence of the SPLM\/SPLA-IO in Unity State and other states as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graduation timeline<\/b><\/p>\n

On Friday, the Minister for Information, Communication Technology, and Postal Services, Michael Makuei Lueth, said although the graduation of the unified forces faces obstacles in the unification of command, it would soon be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unified forces are expected to be graduated after this.\u201d But up to now, the command has not reported to us the final date for the graduation. Of course, one of the outstanding problems that were an obstacle all this time was the setting up of the unified command, \u201cMakuei said.<\/p>\n

He noted that they were waiting for the report from the unified command containing the situation date for the graduation of the unified forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unified command is already set up, and as such, we are waiting for this unified command to bring us their report for readiness to graduate these forces.\u201d So these forces will be graduated at any time as soon as we receive the report, \u201cMakuei said.<\/p>\n
