President Kiir: Elections in South Sudan will be held as planned
President Salva Kiir of South Sudan has said that the country's elections will be held in the scheduled time.
President Salva Kiir of South Sudan has said that the country's elections will be held in the scheduled time. Salva Kiir has continued to insist that the election must be held despite the non-implementation of the peace agreement reached in 2018.
The emphasis of President Kiir has been given when there are five months left to the first general election since South Sudan gained its independence in 2011 and thus officially separated from Sudan.
However, the politicians of the opposition, especially from his party, Riek Machar, continue to insist that the non-implementation of the peace agreement, including the issue of obtaining a new constitution, is one of the things that should have preceded the election.
Despite the opposition, President Salvar Kiir has emphasized that, despite the existing shortcomings, the general election of the youngest country in Africa will be held as planned, ie December 22 this year.
The internal war in the country that started in December 2013 has resulted in the killing of thousands of people and forced millions of others to become refugees. The country plunged into civil war after President Salva Kiir from the Dinka tribe accused his former vice president, Riek Machar from the Nuer tribe, of being involved in an attempt to overthrow his government.
