August 24, 2017 (JUBA) – The second anniversary of the signing of the
Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (ARCSS)
passed with “little meaningful progress” made in the implementation of
the accord, an official said Thursday.

“Our perception at the time of the signing of the Peace Agreement in
August 2015 was that it had ended a tragic internal conflict that had
threatened to tear Africa’s youngest nation apart and it was hoped
that disagreements amongst the Parties over substantive issues had
been resolved,” said Festus Mogae, head of the Joint Monitoring and
Evaluation Commission (JMEC).
JMEC) was established by terms decreed under Chapter Seven of the
ARCSS), signed on 17 August 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Under the
terms of the Agreement, JMEC shall be responsible for monitoring,
overseeing and supporting the implementation of the Agreement and the
mandate and tasks of the TGoNU (Transitional Government of National
Unity), including adherence of the Parties to agreed timelines and
schedules; and in the event of non-compliance, shall recommend
appropriate corrective action to the TGoNU.
JMEC is responsible for overseeing the work of CTSAMM (Ceasefire and
Transitional Security Monitoring Mechanism), EFMA (Economic and
Financial Management Authority), and other transitional institutions
created by the Agreement.
According to Mogae, by now the 2015 peace agreement should have
achieved considerable progress towards improved security and
governance in the war-torn East African nation.
“From day one, however, we have had to persuade the Parties to
implement each and every task in accordance with the peace agreement,”
said the former Botswana president.
“Two years on since the signing of the peace agreement, there has been
little meaningful progress in its implementation,” he added.
Since July 2016, Mogae explained, JMEC has remained profoundly shocked
by the rampant hostilities across the country and the rapid
deterioration of the political, security, humanitarian and economic
situation in South Sudan.
“As a result, we are now rightly absorbed in a process to restore and
revitalise the prominence of the peace agreement,” he said.
The JMEC chairman also condemned the ongoing violence around Pagak, a
former rebel stronghold town on South Sudan’s border with Ethiopia.
The violence, he said, has resulted into suspension of humanitarian
aid delivery to those most in need.
"I condemn all the violence that has occurred in and around Pagak over
the past month and urge that military operations cease immediately,”
stressed Mogae.
He said this cycle of violence, displacement and deprivation of
humanitarian support has been repeated around the country over the
past year and has led to untold misery among those who seek only to
live peacefully and provide for their families.

The difference between JMEC chairperson and the Kiirminal
is that Mogae cant hear but has eyes to see, the Kiirminal a numbskull
and has ears to hear but cant see. You dont have to be a rocket
scientist to tell that the ARCISS was already dead, when the Kiirminal
showed reservations and tried to kill Dr. Riak. Stop this jienge
bullshit and get Riak and the rest on board. Period.

Mr. Chairman
You’re the one making this war to continue of reporting lies like
the regime in Juba. Because you know clearly that if peace comes to
S.Sudan your job would have ended since. Don’t deceive the owrld with
lies. No any progress being made at all. How fighting reach up to
Pagak and condenming what and who? Useless former President. You’re
the most stupid than any one else in the world.

MR. Mogae,
Its after misleading the parties involved and the world at large
that you now come-out to speak? what has motivated you to do this that
was long overdue..eh? is it the blood of those who died due to your
pursuit of personal interests that is haunting you or an advice from
your off-springs who fear the burden of the curse your actions will
bring to them after you retire from this world?

Mr.Mogae and the world know that there has never been any progress
in the signed peace. The fact is that, Mogae fear to tell the truth
that the agreement is dead since 8th July 2016.
He is only babysitting Kiir and bullying the world that there has
been a little progress made in the peace agreement.
Bring the right partner in the peace agreement back, chase your
Taban and start the implementation
