It will be bad to reach the finishing line without genuine implementation of the transitional security arrangements as one of the key milestones for conducting of free, fair and non-violent elections. Since elections are the end game of implementing the R-ARCSS, without stability security arrangements it will be harder to conduct credible national general elections. The country is tired of violence. R-ARCSS partners give peace chance and demonstrate sense of primary responsibility for making peace prevail,\u2019\u2019 Yakani said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yakani regarded this new development of accusations as disturbing and demonstrated violation of the recent action plan agreement on the implementation of the transitional security arrangement agreed upon by the peace partners dated 3<sup>rd<\/sup> April, 2022 in Juba through mediation of the Sudan Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis trend of negative development is strongly contributing to increasing civilians and friends of South Sudan losing further confidence and trust on genuine implementation of the R-ARCSS by the partners. It is high time for the partners to respect and abide by agreements signed dated 3<sup>rd<\/sup> April, 2022,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe game of dragging feet on genuine implementation of the transitional security arrangements is bad and it is projecting the partners\u2019 lack of political will and commitment for transitioning the country timely from violence to peace. Deadlines agreed upon in the recent deal signed in Juba dated 3<sup>rd<\/sup> April, 2022 are not now being respected and honored\u201d it continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yakani said that peace partners are regularly demonstrating hardship for working genuinely for the implementation of the R-ARCSS chapter two. He stated that, it will not be a good image for the nation since top global religious leaders are expected to visit the country in July, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Yakani urged the leaders of the partners to sincerely deliver the transitional security arrangements timely and genuinely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCEPO is urging the SSPDF and the SPLA-IO to critically do something convincing prior to the visit of the top global religious leaders namely His Holiness Pope Francis and His Holiness Justin&nbsp;Portal&nbsp;the&nbsp;Archbishop of Canterbury to South Sudan,\u2019\u2019 the speech read. In conclusion, Yakani stated in the press release that SSPDF and SPLA-IO should respect and honour the recent deal signed in Juba dated 3<sup>rd<\/sup> April, 2022 with full responsibility for timely and genuine implementation of the deal agreed upon provisions.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bida Elly David An activist is challenging the new wave of accusations between the SSPDF and the SPLA-IO forces that has marked a foot step of disturbing and violating the implementation of the transitional security arrangements agreed upon.
