A United Nations report has warned that the slow implementation of a revived peace deal in South Sudan risks pushing the country into a “large-scale conflict”.
The political, military and ethnic divisions in South Sudan are increasing, and among the main signatories of last year’s ceasefire were violent incidents, with nearly 100,000 people facing the possibility of a renewed war and “conditions like hunger”.
In a 81-page report sent to the UN Security Council on Monday, a group of experts said the slow reforms by President Salva Kiir’s government have led to more than a year of political conflict and disagreements over the February 2020 ceasefire and 2018 implementation. the peace deal has weakened relations between Kiirren and first vice president Riek Machar.
