February 9th, 2020 (SSNN)—The Minister of Information and Broadcasting, who also doubles up as the government’s spokesperson, Michael Makuei Lueth has ruled out that the national transitional government will be formed on February 22nd and shall never be extended, no matter what.
“The government will be formed whether IGAD like it or not,” Makuei said.
The Inter-Governmental Authority on Development, a regional bloc charged with mediating and overseeing the implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement, faces difficulties in finding a win-win solution to the number of states and their boundaries.
On Saturday, the IGAD Council of Ministers held its 70th Extraordinary Session of the IGAD Council of Ministers on the situation of South Sudan to discussed the status of implementation of the revitalized agreement on the resolution of conflict in the Republic of South Sudan.
During the IGAD Council of Ministers’ meeting, the regional bloc recommended 23 states plus the Abyei Administrative region, however, the proposal rejected by government delegations.
