None signatories are encouraged to sign to be a part of the peace, they are not forced to sign. However, if they continue to recruit & destabilize regions, we as the gov have to address these problems.

"We will never surrender & our people will resist this regime.We will defend ourselves &the rights of our people of S.Sudan until we find a solution to our problems so that we rebuild our country" -Gen T Cirillo A contradictory statement by the NAS as violence solves no problems

"As we speak NAS is the biggest threat to smooth implementation of the transitional security arrangement's in particular and R-ARCSS in general." - Maj Gen Lul Ruai Koang

The rebel groups that have not signed the peace have mentioned the below as reasons for not being signatories. 1 A federal system of government 2 Resignation of the President The government & the parties have differing ideas. Our disagreements should not lead to violence

"Stop the ongoing hostilities especially in Yei River State and other affected areas. Give the ongoing engagement a chance to succeed by silencing the guns." - IGAD to Gen Thomas Cirillo

The catalyst of the war was party leadership. Page 13 of this document has an interesting take on political parties. "one third" or 33% of official membership would have to be from the other two provinces. This way NO ONE PARTY relies on #ETHNICITY. ssnationaldialogue.org/wp-co…
