R-Arcss Agreement South Sudan

Of course, it must be acknowledged that progress has been made in some cases. The reconstituted parliament is very inflated, with 550 MPs – 332 from the outgoing UN TGo, 128 from the SPLM/A-IO, 50 from the SSOA, 30 from other political parties and 10 former prisoners. The main parties and signatories of the R-ARCSS are Kiir as Chairman of the Transitional Government of National Unity (TGoNU); Machar of SPLM-IO; Deng Alor Kuol of splm-former detainees (SPLM-FDS); and Gabriel Changson Chang of the South Sudanese Opposition Alliance (SSOA). The other six signatories to the South Sudan peace agreement were Peter Mayen Majongdit as a representative of the umbrella coalition of political parties; Kornelio Kon Ngu, representative of the National Alliance of Political Parties; Ustaz Joseph Ukel Abango, representative of the United Sudan African Party (USAF); Martin Toko Moyi, representative of the United Front for Democratic Salvation; Stewart Sorobo Budia, representative of the United Democratic Party; and Wilson Lionding Sabit, representative of the African National Congress (ANC). In addition, 16 actors in the form of representatives of civil society organizations have signed the agreement. Another potential obstacle is the apparent lack of urgency, determination, political will and political commitment in implementing even the lightest objectives of the peace agreement. The broad nature of the UN-GOR IN THE R-ARCSS may constitute an obstacle to the pursuit of the objectives of the Agreement. It is easy to understand that the expanded Bureau, Cabinet and Parliament have been deliberately designed to fit pragmatically into the pro-Crustan bed of South Sudanese political reality. The budget was to support and maintain a government of five vice-presidents; 45 ministers (including deputy ministers); 550 MPs; and several transitional commissions, bodies and committees will certainly impose a burden on a country already burdened by arrears of more than £17 billion in South Sudan (a surplus of $130 million), including “three months of national salaries, five months of government transfers and twelve months of embassy salaries”, including members of the Transitional National Assembly.11 With the previous Peace Agreement (ARCSS), 1.6 billion South Sudanese pounds. in the first three quarters of the 2017/1812 financial year, an additional financial burden would be heavy and heavy in the context of a weakened economy.

This weakens the capacity to implement the peace agreement and the capacity of the government. As admitted in South Sudan`s 2018/2019 National Budget Speech: Overall, building trust, cooperation and cooperation between parties in the implementation of the R-ARCSS will be the greatest facilitator of success. While it is common knowledge that suspicious parties in protracted and persistent conflicts often sign peace agreements under political pressure to end human suffering, the peace process often offers an opportunity not only to strengthen and strengthen neglected or imperfect provisions of the peace pact, but also to detoxify political relations, to change political attitudes and restore unity of objectives. Therefore, the commitment of R-ARCSS parties to invest in attitudes, institutions and structures that strengthen positive peace and build resilience to the conflict in South Sudan will be crucial. Leaders must work in cooperation with all stakeholders to maintain the central pillars of positive peace – that is, a well-functioning government, democracy and the rule of law, a business-friendly environment, an equitable distribution of resources and the development of human capital. Most importantly, the ability to establish and strengthen peacebuilding structures and systems that proactively prevent, manage and peacefully resolve future conflicts will be fundamental to the implementation of R-ARCSS. Such tasks should never be seen as superficial and simplistic, given South Sudan`s history of conflict and its current status as the most fragile state in the world.19 Despite the possible obstacles that could thwart the implementation of the R-ARCSS, there are a significant number of factors that will ensure that the agreement achieves its overarching goal of providing a basis for a united state, Pacific and prosperous South Sudan.. .
