The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) welcomed the positive progress in the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

The face \u2013 to \u2013 face meeting between President Salva Kiir and the First Vice President-Designate, Dr. Riek Machar that resulted in a way forward on pending Security Arrangements issues, is a significant step in the right direction, said IGAD in a statement.<\/p>\n

Machar made a rare visit to Juba this week to meet Kiir. The meetings between the two leaders were aimed at ironing out outstanding issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe remaining critical tasks of the agreement can only be completed with unity and compromise. The mood in Juba is very encouraging. It is feasible to form a unity government in November 2019,\u201d said Ambassador Ismail Wais, the Special Envoy of IGAD for South Sudan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the non-signatory groups to come in from the cold and join the nation-building and solutions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

IGAD reiterated its commitment and support of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS).<\/p>\n

It also called on the international community and the friends of South Sudan to support the positive momentum and expedite their support for the completion of the remaining critical tasks.<\/p>\n

IGAD further commended President Salva Kiir for his leadership to broker a peace deal between the rebels and the government in Sudan.<\/p>\n
