Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Nairobi Peace Talks aimed at resolving South Sudan\u2019s protracted conflict have reached final stages, a government official said.<\/p>\nThe Minister of Information, Michael Makuei, announced on state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) that significant progress has been made although specific details remain undisclosed.<\/p>\n
\u201cTalks have progressed well. Significant signs of progress have been made and have now reached the final stages,\u201d Makuei stated on Monday.<\/p>\n
The process has faced criticism regarding the selection of participating groups, raising concerns about inclusivity and the representation of diverse perspectives necessary to address the conflict\u2019s root causes.<\/p>\n
Critics argue that the talks are disproportionately favouring certain factions, notably those led by former army chief of staff Paul Malong, Stephen Buoy Rolyang, and Pagan Amum. These figures have positioned themselves as key players advocating for a peace process aimed at addressing the 2013 conflict\u2019s origins, a split within the ruling Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM) that resulted in a devastating civil war.<\/p>\n
Opposition groups, excluded from the talks, have voiced concerns about the process being a vehicle for specific political ambitions rather than a comprehensive peace strategy. They warn that the exclusion of critical voices undermines the talks\u2019 legitimacy and effectiveness.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe threats by Pagan Amum, Paul Malong, and Stephen Buoy Rolyang to quit if other parties are included are hollow as their call for unity,\u201d said a statement from The Equatoria\u2019s People Alliance, a coalition of various political and military organizations.<\/p>\n
The statement called on President Salva Kiir and Kenyan President William Ruto to reassess and ensure a more inclusive process.<\/p>\n
