‎International bodies are sounding the alarm as South Sudan's fragile peace process teeters on the edge of collapse. The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC) have warned of deepening divisions, rising insecurity, and stalled implementation of the 2018 peace deal. ‎ ‎A Dangerous Breakdown in Peace ‎The 2018 Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) brought hope to a nation shattered by civil war.

South Sudan Parliament Summons Kuol Manyang and Nhial Deng Because Of Boarder With Kenya


South Sudan Parliament Summoned Kuol Manyang Minister Of Defense, Nhial Deng Minister Of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Kapoeta State Governor Luis Lobong over Kenya boarder issue. 
This came after some members of parliament claimed that the Kenya government launched 65-kilometer road rehabilitation project last month.
The three government officials were summoned over a project by Kenya to construct a tarmac road pass Nadapal up-to Kor Nakodok.  
The Kenya road project is about 70 kilometers and it goes 12 kilometers deep inside South Sudan territory. 
Apart from the broads Kenyan troops have encroached into South Sudan territory making it hard for the natives to take their cattles for grazing.  
Kapoeta State Member of parliament Hon. Epone Loolimo said that “The local communities of Kapoeta state have been denied access to grazing land and freedom of movement -despite an MoU signed between [our] national government with the government of Kenya in 2009.” 
This is a serious issue let's wait patiently for the outcome. 
More to follow shortly....
