Storyline

South Sudan’s minister of information said that first Vice President Riek Machar is expected to arrive in Juba “by next week” and a Transitional Government of National Unity (TGoNU) will be established “within the next two weeks”.

Michael Makuei Lueth made the announcement Monday (28 Mar) afternoon in Juba following the arrival of the first batch of 39 SPLM/A-In Opposition (IO) forces.

These forces are the first of the 1,370 SPLM/A (IO) troops required to return to the capital, in accordance with the JMEC plan for transitional security arrangements agreed on 23 February.

As part of the assistance to the implementation of the Peace Agreement, the UNMISS is transporting members of SPLM/A IO to Juba. A series of flights by United Nations and charter aircraft will transport the remaining troops in the coming days. Multiple rotations of aircraft are planned until the movement is complete.
