July 11, 2017 (JUBA)- The Chairperson of the Joint Monitoring and
Evaluation Commission (JMEC) for South Sudan peace on Tuesday held

Taban Deng Gai during which he urged the two leaders to propose
concrete measures for a sustainable ceasefire.

“The success will depend on the willingness of all parties to make
concrete proposals and make compromises for the sake of peace in this
country,” Festus Mogae told reporters shortly after meeting President
Salva Kiir at the presidential palace in Juba on Tuesday
Mogae, who held separate talks with the two leaders, sought their
viewpoints on the revitalization process and recommendations on how
the process can be made to achieve the desired goals.
He gave an update on the regional consultations that led to the
convening of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)
Extra-ordinary Summit in Addis in June.
The head of the Peace monitoring group met outlined the objectives of
the High-Level Revitalization Forum, saying it needs for parties to
propose “concrete measures” to restore the permanent ceasefire, return
to full implementation of the Agreement and develop a revised timeline
towards democratic elections.
Mogae outlined the revitalization process is not a re-negotiation of
the Agreement but “a window of opportunity” for all parties and other
estranged groups willing to return to or join the implementation to do
so within the framework of the Agreement.
Meanwhile cabinet affairs Martin Elia Lomuro said the revitalization
of the peace Agreement does not amount to renegotiation but a way to
explore the opportunities to speed up the implementation of the Peace
Agreement. He described the meeting as very cordial and productive.
Lomuro said foreign ministers from Intergovernmental Authority on
Development member countries will on Wednesday convene a meeting in
Juba for the purpose of revitalization of the implementation of peace

unwanted illiterate president Kiir, and maybe that’s may help....

What the F**K going with these African leaders? Is it Kiir and
Taban fighting and thus both need cease fire, or these 2 leaders in
the government fighting the rest of the country?
Both Taban and Kiir must talk to the opposition so cease fire can
come to the country.
The government must admit that it’s tribal counter insurgency went
wrong already, and they must pay big price for it.

Now this is naivety of the highest order; Kiir and El Tabani Deng
don’t fght. What concrete measures should the two take other than
waging the current war against armed opposition? The situation in
South Sudan is beyond Festus Mogae’s comprehension...

Hon.Festus Mogae circumventing the truth wouldn’t work. IO are on
loose ordered by their demi-god in South Africa to keep on fighting
and attacking government forces and civilians on roads for his
release. It is either truth is told frankly and without fear or
nothing is done. Begging president Kiir or FVP Taban for cease fire is
like asking a hungry person whether he needs some headache tablets
