Within 14 days from the signing of the roadmap, the new deal tasks the Country’s President Salva Kiir Mayardit, as the Country’s ruling Party's chair to reconsider revoking his earlier decision in 2013 that dismissed party leaders.
The accord further made preparatory measures for their security, freedom of movement and expression as well as prohibition of negative propaganda that should also come into effect within 14 days.
The agreement was signed by senior party members including Jemma Nunu Kumba, representing the government, Peter Adwok Nyaba, representing the SPLM-IO and John Luk Jok, representing former detainees.
Tanzania, South Africa, Ethiopia and Kenya are named as co-guarantors for the implementation of the agreement.
The implementation roadmap has not however, addressed how the three factions will tackle the outstanding issues including party reforms and fate of leadership.
The agreement has set 45 days as the timeframe within which all the rival leaders of SPLM-IO led by former vice president, Riek Machar, and former detainees led by former secretary general, Pagan Amum, should return to Juba.
Eastern Equatoria State Civil Society Network, EESCSN Chairperson, Mr. Simon Ebul Ohuro described the initiative as “fantastic” as he strongly urged the tripartite leadership to demonstrate serious commitments towards implementation of the roadmap agreement.
