Cabinet to discuss Kiir's commitment to announce unilateral ceasefire

JUBA (31 Mar.)

South Sudan’s Council of Ministers plans to discuss the recent call by the
East African regional bloc IGAD to stop fighting and Kiir’s commitment to
announce a unilateral ceasefire, a top government official said.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Wednesday, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Martin
Elia Lomuro, said: “This is not a decision taken by the government; it was
a resolution came up during the IGAD summit. So, it was just a proposal to
the president and it will be presented to the cabinet to discuss how it can
be implemented.”

In a communiqué issued following its 30th Extra-Ordinary Summit held last
Saturday in Nairobi, IGAD called upon all factions to immediately stop the
fighting in South Sudan.

In response to this call, President Kiir agreed to announce a unilateral
ceasefire and grant amnesty to those that renounced violence.
