In a proposal made public Friday, the South Sudan Civil Society Forum said they were disappointed key issues have not been dealt with, ahead of the November 12 deadline, but said rushing into a unity government could be dangerous. PEACE DEAL“There can never be a shortcut to meaningful implementation of the R-ARCSS,” the forum, which brings together youth, gender and religious groups both within South Sudan and in the diaspora, said referring to the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan. “The parties should jointly provide a unified message to assure citizens of their commitment to the peace agreement. The forum warned the international community against forcing parties into a unity government without first addressing the issues, saying it could backfire. Such recommendations undermine the entire peace agreement, especially the sequence of agreed implementation schedule.
