Kenya Special Envoy to South Sudan Kalonzo Musyoka was on Tuesday received by Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister of South Sudan Hon. Kalonzo will at the same time be expected to engage in the ongoing peace process and the unification of the Military. South Sudan has since 2013 been trapped in a cycle of violence due to rivalries between its President Salva Kiir and his Vice President Riek Machar. The agreement which was signed by the President and his Vice President is supposed to be one of key the provisions of the 2018 peace deal. Under the extension, the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) will remain in the world’s newest nation until March 15, 2023.
