The head of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission for the implementation of peace agreement in South Sudan says he will soon be reporting to the UN Security Council on progress made if any.
Festus Mogae says he remains concerned at the recurrent delays, continuous ceasefire violations and deteriorating economic situation.
He urges the parties to be dedicated in every respect to form the Transitional Government of National Unity and address the economic crisis.
Addressing the economic and financial crisis in the country is crucial to the implementation of the agreement, JMEC chairperson stresses.
He warns that the patience of the international community like his own is being tested.
Now is the time to prove whether the commitments the government and SPLM/A-In-Opposition have been repeatedly making are genuine and sincere, Mogae remarks.
JMEC is today expecting a report from the Ceasefire Transitional Security Arrangement Monitoring Mechanism on the determination of SPLM-In-Opposition forces’ presence in Equatoria and Bahr El Ghazal regions.
