South Sudan Okays Completion of Unity Government
Representatives of parties to the 2018 revitalized peace agreement have agreed to end the prolonged stalemate on formation of states governments and reconstitution of the National Legislative Assembly. A meeting convened by President Salva Kiir on Wednesday in Juba agreed to a complete formation of unity government. Cabinet Affairs Minister Martin Elia Lumuro said in a press statement said after a cordial lengthy deliberation, the meeting resolved that the president appoints the state and local government of nine states, except that of Upper Nile. President Salva Kiir had refused to formally nominate Riek Machar's nominee Johnson Olony as governor of Upper Nile State, whom he considers a "warmonger" and unsuitable for the power-sharing arrangement.
