On Tuesday, February 21, 2023, the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) issued a Press Statement. It provided an update to the public, the region, and diplomatic community on the status of the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS), while signaling the commencement of the Extended Transition Period through 2025. This is encouraging, marking the second time the Government has made such public announcement in recent time, making public its plans. It also proclaimed the holding of general elections by December 2024, in line with the Roadmap that the political parties recently endorsed. Quoting from the Press Statement, “[t]he essence of the [R]oadmap is to provide time-bound guidance on the implementation of outstanding provisions that are critical to the conduct of the peaceful and democratic elections at the end of the transition period, not an alternative to the R-ARCSS.” On the heels of this echoed declaration, the Press Statement went on to list implementation progress, chapter by chapter.
