July 23rd 2018 (Nyamilepedia) – South Sudan government and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (IO) led by FVP Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon have agreed to sign peace on Thursday, officials from both sides told the Nyamilepedia this afternoon.

Early, South Sudan government official told the Nyamielepedia that president Salva Kiir softened his position and had agreed to drop the demand that the current controversial 32 states remain: a major demand by the opposition group for the states to be annulled.

A government official told the Nyamilepedia this afternoon on the condition of anonymity that the two parties had met in a separate meeting attended by delegates from the two parties and agreed to sign peace on Thursday.

“Yes that is true, we have met with our brother from the other side, the SPLM-IO under Dr. Riek Machar and we have agreed to sign the long-awaited peace deal on Thursday which will be also attended by regional leaders,” the official told the Nyamilepedia on Monday.

However, the official did not revealed whether the government and the opposition had fully agreed on issues such as the numbe of states and the powersharing at the local levels which has not been accepted by the government.

A opposition official told the Nyamilepedia that the peace deal will be signed on Thursday but denied knowledge of the said meeting between their group, the SPLM-IO, and delegates of teh government at the talks.

“Peace will be signed on Thursday according to what I have heard but I am not aware of the said meeting between our team and that of the government of South Sudan,” he said.

For his part, a South Sudan Opposition Alliance official told the Nyamilepedia that his group is not ready and that if the mediation insist that the peace agreement be signed on Thursday under the current terms, then, he said, they will not sign it.

“We have made it very clear that we will not sign a peace agreement that does not address our concern. If the IO want to go and join the government for a fake peace, let them go but we will not remain a part of such agreement if the mediation impose its signature by Thursday,” the official said.

Dear all, this comment is not for this article above, it is channeling to another source. Yes, as you know you that one, is anyone like to do evil, that is my problem regardless of who you think you are. I am taking the responsibility upon myself in this modern era. I wish, I can elaborate more by what I mean. Evil will not escape from my hand whether you know this or not yet known to you. You will come to know it. If you are wicked one then prepare to face me because regardless of where you might think you are, I will put an end of you by all mean possible not in any human way you wouldn’t know how I do it. You better change and if you change not then believe, I will find you on my able way that only work for me. Those who are agents of evil have no room on my side. Yes, I heard you saying that I am deluded because of what you heard about me. Yes, punishment is at your door. I will not have mercy on godless since they lost the way to the truth. They do not care about what should benefit their souls. You will definitely receive your reward that is to leave no root of you alive. Yes, you that sorcerers ones, will I not fulfill my work on you? I am against you and will leave not trace on you for sure it is my goal to do it, unless you change the evil doing. Should I remind you that the secret you think you have already had been leaked. anything you implemented I am already been informed about it. The work of darkness you have been interested in have been exposed to me long before you perform them. You wouldn’t know my mind but I know yours and will judge you accordingly.
