A South Sudanese opposition group has expressed concerns over what it described as the slow implementation of the revitalized peace deal, which was signed in September last year.
The National Democratic Movement (NDM) led by Lam Akol Ajawin raised the issue after a leadership council meeting held in Khartoum on Wednesday.
The opposition group’s spokesman, Mut Turuk told Radio Tamazuj Friday that they convened the leadership meeting to assess the four-month period since the start of the pre-transitional period as well as the organizational issues in the NDM.
He said steps taken to implement the peace agreement are slow, and NDM is less optimistic of results, citing the short remaining period.
"We believe that the implementation of the peace agreement in this remaining period is almost impossible," said Turuk.
He called for political will to implement the agreement in order to overcome obstacles, appealing to their political allies in the peace accord to show more commitment towards the implementation process.
In September last year, South Sudanese rival factions signed a revitalized peace accord, aimed at ending the devastating civil war that has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions.
