SSOMA alleged that their forces, who were in the process of assembling in some areas of Bhar El Ghazal, were attacked, with some officers captured by the SSPDF. \u201cDue to the alleged incidents, SSOMA officers could not travel to Juba due to a lack of trust,\u201d read the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the period of the alleged incidents, CTSAMVM MVTs were not operational due to the National Monitors\u2019 withdrawal of their participation in CTSAMVM operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It further noted that SSOMA\u2019s Real SPLM and South Sudan United Front\/Army (SSUF\/A), postponed their trip to Juba to be included in CTSAMVM structures due to such alleged violations.<\/p>\n<p>The communique released on June 30, 2022 for their inclusion into CTSAMVM showed that these SSOMA groups would be included by August 15, 2022, declare the size of their forces and work with SSPDF to pledge optimal protection of SSOMA\u2019s CTSAMVM team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe parties agree that SSOMA shall start the deployment of its representatives into the CTSAMVM structures by August 15th, 2022. The CTSAMVM and IGAD shall facilitate the deployment processes and the Community of Sant\u2019Egidio shall accompany the implementation of the whole process,\u201d RJMEC report read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSSOMA Real SPLM and SSUF\/A shall declare the size and location of their forces to CTSAMVM before August 1st, 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When announcing the roadmap for the extension of the transitional period and during the graduation of the first batch of the necessary unified forces, President Salva Kiir renewed a call for holdout groups to lay down arms and join the peace process.<\/p>\n<p><b>Call for truce<\/b><\/p>\n<p>He urged Real SPLM\u2019s Pagan Amum and the National Salvation Front (NAS)\u2019s Thomas Cirilo to listen to his call and return to contribute to nation-building.<\/p>\n<p>Early this month, Kiir said the era of pleasing rebels with positions and high military ranks was over, and that the country was implementing the peace agreement and that was the most vital thing to focus on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe days of people who are running to the bush and causing harm in search of compromise for high ranks [are over]. \u201cThe chapter of war has ended, and we are not going to tolerate it anymore,\u201d said Kiir.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working on peace, and we need development for our people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March 2022, the senior advisor to the president, Gen Kuol Manyang Juuk, told The City Review that rebellions buying peace from rebels had deprived the country of necessary developmental strategies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeace is not the work of only one person. It [must] be done by all of us. \u201cEvery one of us has a role to play in making peace,\u201d he 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.
