The SPLM Secretary for Information says the mainstream party and the
SPLM-IO under Taban Deng have completed reviewing the Arusha Agreement
on party reunification in Juba.
Lam Both says the two groups have been meeting to develop a revised
document that will be merged with the inputs from the SPLM-Former
Detainees in their next meeting.
In July, the SPLM in the government and the Former Detainees
established a team to revitalize and operationalize the implementation
of the SPLM Arusha Agreement.
The three factions met in Entebbe, Uganda, on request by President
Yoweri Museveni, where they signed a declaration that formed the
working group to develop a matrix for the implementation of the Arusha
agreement with specific timelines and report to President Yoweri
Museveni.
The working group comprises three members of each faction, with Simon
Kun Puoch, Rebecca Joshua Okwaci, and Oliver Mori Benjamin
representing SPLM IG.
The representatives of the Former Detainees are: John Luk Jok, Kosti
Manibe, and Majak D’Agoot .
While members of SPLM IO of Taban Deng include: Richard Mulla, Tijwog
Agwet, and Lubna Abdelgani.
The group representing Dr. Riek Machar failed to turn up for all
previous meetings of the SPLM factions.
According to Lam Both, the SPLM mainstream and the SPLM-IO under Taban
have completed their tasks and awaits for inputs from the Former
Detainees before presenting it to President Museveni.
“The SPLM in government and SPLM-IO Taban sat and looked at the
document. We have updated it. We are waiting for the FDs to also put
what they think is needed, so that all sides have their contributions
in it,” said Lam.
Lam said the working groups on the reunification of the SPLM have been
studying issues of political reorganization and leadership of the
party.
In June, Dr. Riek Machar -in a public letter to President Museveni
-said he was not in position to attend the consultation meeting in
Entebbe due to the nature of his “confinement and detention” in South
Africa.
He said such intervention, to invite him, by Museveni would definitely
take time for him to travel to Uganda.
Dr. Machar echoed by Pagan Amum later said their priority is to end
the conflict through a negotiated settlement rather than the party
reunification.
