AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Elections and peace process: South Sudan stakeholders warn that the planned December 22, 2026 polls may lack credibility unless urgent reforms are completed, including unifying forces, operationalising security arrangements, finalising the permanent constitution, running a national census, and expanding civic space. Conflict in Jonglei: Peace monitors and civil society groups condemned renewed clashes between SSPDF and SPLA-IO in Akobo County (Walgak/Walgak Payam), warning the fighting could derail election preparations and disrupt humanitarian access. Political shake-up: SPLM-IO founding member Tijwog Agwet resigned, citing failure to deliver the democratic reform agenda; the party faces internal strains amid the detention of Riek Machar. Governance and revenue: President Salva Kiir formed an ad hoc committee to review and end non-statutory tax exemptions, aiming to strengthen revenue collection and tighten enforcement. Flood recovery: Nearly 5,000 flood-displaced residents returned to Rubkona, Unity State after World Bank-funded dikes reclaimed land, with roads, schools, health facilities and water points restored. Regional economy: South Sudan backed the EAC agriculture reform agenda and is set to sign an agriculture cooperation deal with Tanzania to boost trade and productivity.
