JUBA (8 Sep.)
Link to web article here. South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir has threatened to punish whoever violates the permanent ceasefire, which was declared after the signing of the IGAD-Plus compromise peace agreement.
According to Sudan Tribune, President Kiir pointed out that there are some SPLA officers whose actions aimed at sabotaging the peace agreement by taking advantage of the 'reservations' that his government expressed when signing the deal.
“There are people who want to take advantage of our genuine concerns and reservations. They are pretending to be conducting themselves as nationalists and they aren’t acting with loyalty. These people are coming out, and any officer, no matter what position of service, showing lack of discipline will have to answer,” Kiir told the Jieng Council of Elders on Sunday.
