August 21, 2016 (JUBA) - South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir has
approved Wau state governor Andrea Mayar Achor’s move to form

Achor, who met Kiir on Sunday, said the approval of his initiative was
an important step in finding a solution to the political and security
matters in the area.
“I will be returning to the state soon. I came for an official visit
to the president and my meeting with him and the leadership has been
successful. We discussed administrative matters and the role of the
state governments in implementation of peace agreement,” said Achor.
He added, “We also came for guidance and other directives from the
president and the entire leadership of the SPLM. My discussions with
all the concerned institutions were successful. The president has
approved dialogue with those who have taken up arms in the state. We
know from them what their grievances are and how such issues can be
addressed”.
According to the governor, several committees have been formed and
have agreed to form a new and more inclusive body to guide the diverse
and divided groups ahead the planned talks aimed at ending the unrest.
The formation of such a body was seen as a prerequisite for the peace
talks, and appeared to fit the objective pulling together political
dissidents who have long distrusted one another as well as armed youth
fighting the South Sudanese army (SPLA).
