Officials from the SPLM- in-Opposition and the group of former
detainees announced that the two rival leaders will meet in Nairobi as
delegations are arrived in Arusha to prepare a summit attended by
regional leaders next Monday on the outstanding issues.
The deputy secretary-general of the ruling SPLM, Anne Itto said the
special meeting of the political bureau held on Saturday has resolved
to authorize Kiir to travel to Tanzania in the coming few days to meet
Machar to discuss the full implementation of the Arusha Agreement.
“Comrade Chairman will be taking the message of the leadership of the
SPLM to Riek about commitment of the leadership to full implementation
of the Arusha reunification. We expect Riek to come home. So the
president will talk to him about the return to Juba”, Itto told
journalists shortly after conclusion of the leadership on Saturday.
The leading party official explained that the meeting between
president Kiir and Machar will focus on the progress made in the
implementation of the reunification agreement.
The Tanzania meeting, she said, will be attended by five heads of
state from the region to talk to Riek about why he has not joined the
Implementation of Arusha and why he has not come back to Juba.
The SPLM Political Bureau agreed to invite state governors and SPLM
chairpersons to Juba for briefing on the progress of the Arusha
Agreement.
The opposition faction says they want Arush reunification agreement
transformed into a news SPLM constitution and basic documents. They
also demand that the finalized interparty agreement be connected to
Addis Ababa peace process.
A delegation of the former ‘former detainees’ led by Amum met on
Thursday with Machar in Nairobi and agreed on the need for further
bilateral intraparty dialogue in Arusha.
The leading figure of the former detainees Deng Alor who is also a
member of the SPLM political bureau said brining peace and stability
is the national priority and the reunification process aims to achieve
this objective.

Riek will not just come back to Juba as a vice president, what
will he says to the parents of those whose kids have perished in this
war. for Riek to come home as somebody, some genuine reforms must be
passed, and the President asks not to work out of constitution ever
again.
