Juba, SOUTH SUDAN
Sudan government has
sent its aid shipment to Juba as part of regional efforts to support the
implementation of the security arrangements in South Sudan, a Sudanese official
said.
The head of
the Joint Transitional Security Committee (JTSC), Gen. Riny Tueny Mabor
received the plane on arrival in the capital, Juba.
The shipment
of aid, including military boots and uniforms, arrived in Juba on Sunday.
Speaking to
reporters at the airport, Sudan’s Ambassador to Juba, Adil Ibrahim Mustafa has
pledged his country’s support for South Sudan’s quest to regain political and
security stability.
He said
Sudan will continue to support South Sudan and its role will increase after it
assumed leadership of the East African regional bloc IGAD.
For his
part, Gen. Riny Tueny Mabor thanked the Sudanese government for supporting the
peace process in South Sudan, saying that the shipment of aid affirms the
seriousness of Sudan government to ensure peace in South Sudan.
He
reiterated Juba’s commitment to implement the revitalized peace agreement,
stressing that peace and stability in South Sudan will positively reflect on
Sudan’s situation.
The rival
parties in South Sudan have twice failed to form a unity government, first in
May 2019 and then in November the same year, when they agreed to a 100-day-long
extension to resolve outstanding issues and establish the government by
February 22.
Under the
terms of the peace deal, South Sudan’s rival leaders are to create a unified
army and agree on the number of states and their boundaries. –
