The successful face-to-face meeting, held in a friendly atmosphere, between President Salva Kiir Mayardit and Dr. Riek Machar in Juba early this month offered an opportunity to deliberate on critical pending issues to pave way for the formation of a new government of national unity by 12th November 2019. Critical to the success of the peace agreement in the Republic of South Sudan is engagement by the different stakeholders. The visit of Dr. Riek [Machar] and his delegation last month in Juba was a tremendous milestone and has brought the much needed confidence to the leaders of different political parties and the citizens of the Republic of South Sudan.  This is a move in the right direction towards achieving lasting peace.
