‎SPLM-IO Accuses Government of Violating Peace Agreement, Calls for AU Intervention ‎

-









‎The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-In Opposition (SPLM-IO) has raised alarm over alleged violations of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS), accusing the ruling SPLM-In Government (SPLM-IG) of undermining the peace process.

‎

‎In a statement addressed to the African Union Liaison Office in South Sudan, SPLM-IO condemned the arbitrary removal of its officials from government positions and the detention of key political figures, including First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar. 


The opposition group also accused the government of orchestrating attacks against its members, particularly in Western Equatoria.

‎

‎“The SPLM-IG has resorted to unilateral actions that violate the peace agreement, including the illegal replacement of SPLM-IO governors and ministers,” the statement read. “Our members are being targeted, arrested, and harassed.”

‎

‎Foreign Troops and Security Crackdowns

‎The SPLM-IO further alleged that foreign troops from Uganda and Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been deployed in South Sudan to support government military operations against opposition forces.

‎

‎“These foreign forces are actively participating in the repression of our members, leading to widespread human rights abuses,” the group claimed.

‎

‎International Intervention Urged

‎In response to the escalating tensions, SPLM-IO has called on the African Union, IGAD, and the United Nations to intervene and facilitate dialogue in a neutral venue, citing fears of intimidation in Juba.

‎

‎The opposition movement also demanded the immediate release of detained leaders, the withdrawal of foreign troops, and adherence to the power-sharing agreement stipulated in R-ARCSS.

‎

‎The South Sudanese government has yet to respond to the allegations. However, the political turmoil threatens to derail the fragile peace process as the country prepares for its first post-independence elections later this year.
