Peace Process Under Fire: SPLM-IO and SSOA MPs are rejecting the government’s move to table amendments to the 2018 peace deal and remove SPLM-IO lawmakers, calling the process non-inclusive and a breach of R-ARCSS. Security & Integration: The new Chief of Defence Forces urged former rebel-aligned groups to stay on standby while integration directives are issued, signaling a fresh push to reorganize forces. U.S. Pressure on Juba: A senior U.S. official says R-ARCSS remains the basis for transitional legitimacy, but warned dialogue claims are “farcical” while Riek Machar is under arrest and trial. Regional Diplomacy: President Salva Kiir met Uganda’s Museveni in Kampala and SPLM/NRM leaders signed a cooperation pact, as both sides stress border security and trade links. Humanitarian & Economy: A Bor study links low health facility deliveries to distance, transport, and funding gaps—while truck movement resumes after a Nimule corridor strike deal. Culture in the Spotlight: The Pojulu Cultural Festival in Juba is drawing debate over spending versus local development, even as leaders frame it as unity-building.
