JMEC to hold plenary meeting in Juba next week JUBA (14 Oct.) The Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC), a body tasked with overseeing implementation of the signed peace accord in South Sudan, announced that it will hold a plenary meeting on 19 October in the capital Juba.
JMEC, headed by former President Festus Mogae of Botswana, will present its report to the board members, including representatives of the unity government, South Sudanese stakeholders, IGAD member states, international partners and friends of South Sudan. In a statement seen by Radio Tamazuj, the oversight body confirmed that the agenda will be the CTSAMM report on violations of the ceasefire, full inclusivity and representation within the political process, the humanitarian situation, and the deployment of the Regional Protection Force. Returning to Juba from meetings at the UN in New York, Chairman Mogae said, “We are deeply concerned by the escalation of violence and egregious violations of human rights around the country since July. Such violations of the ceasefire are unacceptable”. He pointed out that the peace process has hit its first major test but they will not allow it to be derailed. The solution to the conflict in South Sudan can only be found in dialogue and the relentless pursuit of peaceful, inclusive, and representative governance, according to Mogae. “I shall be calling upon all parties to the agreement to return to the table and show the leadership that the people of this country deserve,” he said. -- To post to this group, send email to southsudankob@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to southsudankob+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
