Several members of the South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) returned to the capital Juba to attend a series of meetings on the implementation of the peace agreement, a senior opposition official said.
Gen. Hussein Abdelbagi, a member of the SSOA faction led by Gabriel Changson , told Radio Tamazuj this morning that they returned to Juba to expedite the implementation of the pre-transitional activities.
“There are meetings of the NPTC and JMEC. Also, there are meetings of the military mechanisms and the Joint Defense Board has started its meeting this morning,” Hussein said.
“We will also meet the president to discuss the implementation of the peace agreement,” he added.
The top opposition official further said effective dissemination of the revitalized peace agreement at the grassroots level will help build confidence among the people of South Sudan.”
“We want our people to support the implementation of the peace agreement despite the challenges,” he said.
The UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that the security-related committees in South Sudan have made little visible progress.
