South Sudan's President, Salva Kiir, is currently in the United States waiting to address the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly . Kiir is expected to deliver his speech on or around the 21st of September 2023. What he plans to tell the world leaders is anyone's guess.
This is one of the reasons why President Kiir consistently violates the agreement. He has already violated the pact by removing constitutional post holders who are members of the opposition, SPLM-IO. For example, his unilateral removal of former Defense Minister Angelina Teny in March this year was an irrefutable violation of the peace agreement which requires parties to consult with each other in cases of the appointment or dismissal of a constitutional post holder.
Kiir's deceptive maneuvering doesn't end here. He repeatedly demands the integration of opposition soldiers without assignments at the middle and lower ranks and files. He also demands that all opposition soldiers at the training centers be deployed or given assignments without first confirming their ranks before their integration into the government forces. He is doing this to prevent the opposition soldiers from getting the same rights the government forces have under the constitution.
