The Republic of South Sudan formed its long awaited Transitional Government of National Unity (TGNU) on Friday (29 Apr). The 30-month long TGNU will he headed by President Salva Kiir and deputized by First Vice President, Dr. Riek Machar Teny, and James Wani Igga as the second Vice President.
The president dissolved his entire cabinet in a decree he read last night on national television. The announcement followed the return of the rebel leader Riek Machar, who arrived to the country on Tuesday in readiness to form the Transitional Government of National Unity.
During the swearing in ceremony of the new cabinet of ministers the President said that “things that have not been resolved will be resolved amicably among the new leadership.”
The war, which has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions more, erupted on 15 December 2013 in the national capital, Juba, when internal debates over political and institutional reforms within the leadership of the ruling party of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) turned violent.
In accordance with the implementation of the power sharing deal in the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (ARCISS) brokered by the East African regional bloc, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and its continental and international
Partners, the rival parties agreed to form a unity government and implement reforms in the country.
