SPLM-IO Members Flee Juba Amid Security Crackdown, Reaffirm Commitment to Peace Deal

A growing political rift within South Sudan's main opposition party, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-In Opposition (SPLM-IO), has taken a dramatic turn after some of its members fled the capital, Juba, citing fears for their lives.

‎

‎In a statement released Monday, SPLM-IO’s Director of Communication, Pal Mai Deng, said the members’ departure should not be misconstrued as an abandonment of the peace process. 


He described such claims as “cheap propaganda” from the SPLM-In Government (SPLM-IG) and its political allies.

‎

‎“This is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and sabotage the peace process,” Deng said. “Our members left Juba to protect their lives from increasing threats, not to withdraw from the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity.”

‎

‎The SPLM-IO reaffirmed its commitment to the full implementation of the 2018 Revitalized Peace Agreement and called for the release of its leader, First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, along with other detained political and military figures. The opposition group also demanded the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops currently operating in the country.

‎

‎This development comes amid internal tensions within the SPLM-IO, following the controversial appointment of Peacebuilding Minister Stephen Par Kuol as interim leader by a breakaway faction. Deputy Chairman Oyet Nathaniel has rejected the move, calling on peace agreement guarantors and international observers to act swiftly to preserve the unity of the party and the integrity of the peace accord.

‎

‎Local and international observers fear the situation could further destabilize the fragile peace, especially with increasing incidents of violence across various states and warnings from the United Nations about the risk of renewed conflict.

‎

‎As the country prepares for long-awaited elections, the political temperature is rising, with mounting pressure on all parties to stay committed to the peace deal and prevent a relapse into civil war.

‎ The Office of the President has dismissed public speculation surrounding Vice President Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior’s recent assignment to oversee the Governance Cluster, clarifying that the move does not signal any change in the country’s executive hierarchy. ‎ ‎While addressing the media, Presidential Press Secretary Ambassador David Amuor said Nyandeng’s role is temporary and administrative, aimed at ensuring continuity of government operations following the suspension of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, who traditionally chairs the Governance Cluster. ‎ Amb. David, explained that the Council of Ministers had accumulated a backlog of pending memos and policy documents, many of which required urgent presentation and processing to avoid delays in governance and legislation. ‎ “This arrangement does not in any way alter the hierarchy of the Presidency,” Amb. David stressed. “Vice President Nyandeng is only facilitating the presentation and co-sharing of memos in Cabinet to ensure...
