The statement of the expanded mediation team “expresses their collective commitment to the inclusivity of the South Sudan peace process” and called on the South Sudanese government “to immediately allow these and all invited representatives to travel and participate fully. “In this regard, we express our concern that invited representatives of South Sudanese political parties have reportedly been prevented from travelling to Addis Ababa to participate in the IGAD PLUS process, which resumed yesterday,” the statement obtained by Sudan Tribune reads in part. Lam Akol, SPLM-DC’s leader on Thursday told journalists in Juba that he was prevented from boarding a plane to Addis Ababa by a senior police officer who claimed to have acted on the orders from the presidency.
