Government officials said President Salva Kiir Mayardit signed agreement they termed ‘not perfect with a lot of difficulties’.
CRN on Wednesday approached some government officials after the inking ceremony including Ambassador John Andruga Duku who urged IGAD to seriously consider President Kiir’s reservations to implement the deal in a positive way to stop the fighting.
National Agriculture Deputy Minister Lily Albino Akol Akol described the signed peace as somber, hoping that the signing of the agreement silence guns all over the country.
Civil Society Organization Advisor Reverend Helen Kila Wongo prayed that the signed agreement brings lasting peace, thanking God for helping President Kiir to cut short the two weeks he requested from IGAD mediators.
CRN reporter Kade Doris Samson in Juba described people’s mood before and after inking the deal as not good.
