The South Sudan Opposition Movements Alliance (SSOMA) affiliated with Gen. Thomas Cirillo have said that they were going to boycott the Rome peace talks which were slated to commence May 8, 2021.
A statement by SSOMA seen by Radio Tamazuj over the weekend read in part, “SSOMA would like to inform its supporters, the people of South Sudan, and the International community that we will not take part in the upcoming scheduled round of peace talks in Rome until further notice.”
