47 lawmakers aligned with the South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) boycotted Monday’s parliamentary sitting during which the cabinet tabled proposed amendments to the 2018 Revitalised Peace Agreement.
SSOA, a coalition of several parties to the peace deal, is currently split into factions aligned with former vice president Josephine Lagu and Vice President Hussein Abdelbagi, who is widely seen as an ally of President Salva Kiir Mayardit.
Bol Joseph Agau, a lawmaker and secretary general of the opposition National Democratic Movement (NDM) led by Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin, told Radio Tamazuj that the amendment process was unilateral and unconstitutional.
