Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s powerful Western friends have appealed to President Salva Kiir Mayardit and First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny to show political will to implement the revitalized peace agreement after the extension of the transitional period.<\/p>\n

This comes after the two rival leaders signed a document extending the transitional period for at least 24 mounts to enable for implementation of remaining tasks of the 2018 peace agreement.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Troika (US, UK, and Norway) and the EU said they acknowledge the extension of the transitional period along with the details it contains for implementation of the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Troika, the EU and its Member States acknowledge the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity\u2019s announcement of a Roadmap towards the end of transition. We note that the Roadmap includes details of the actions that will be taken and the timeframes for delivery,\u201d they said in a joint statement seen by Sudans Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe share our expectation that this agreement will now translate into the sustained action required to deliver the Roadmap. We note with concern that the necessity for an extension to the peace process is the result of choices made by the government not to take the necessary steps that would have led to implementation,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

The statement said that \u201cOnly sustained action and results, particularly on oil revenue transparency, as well as public financial and resources management, will generate the donor support requested by the Government of South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this regard, we note the Government\u2019s announcement to allocate specific funds in the 2022-23 budget for implementing the peace agreement and the Roadmap. We urge the Government to disburse those funds in predictable and transparent ways in order for the international community to regain confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe regret that the process of finalizing the Roadmap was insufficiently inclusive. Civil society groups were given only limited time to review and comment on the Government\u2019s proposal. We regard the inclusivity of any process as key to its legitimacy and urge the Government to consult in more detail before the process of ratifying the extension set out in article 8.4 of R-ARCSS is completed. \u201cFurthermore, we call on the Government to expand political and civic space to ensure that the voices of the South Sudanese people, including those who hold opposing views, are consistently heard throughout the implementation of the Roadmap.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of South Sudan, the Troika, the EU and its Member States, and the wider international community will judge deeds, not words. We need to see what will be different this time. To build confidence the Government should immediately demonstrate significant progress towards implementation of the outstanding elements of R-ARCSS, in accordance with the deadlines set out in the Roadmap.<\/p>\n

\u201cRatification of the extension of the transition should occur after the government has demonstrated the sustained action and results promised in the Roadmap. It is through meeting the deadlines set out in the Roadmap that the Government can earn our collective trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, we welcome President Kiir and First Vice President Machar\u2019s reiteration of their commitment to peace. We remain convinced that the only path to peace, prosperity, and democracy for all South Sudanese lies in action by the country\u2019s leaders to fulfil their promises and include all South Sudanese in a shared vision of their nation\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n
