Juba’s delegation and the opposition group to the Tumaini Initiative are due to discuss later today the relationship between Tumaini and 2018 peace deal as well as responsibility sharing with the Kenyan mediators pushing the parties for a breakthrough.
In what is described as draft working agenda for negotiations dated January 28, 2025, by the Kenyan mediators, the parties will look into the relationship between the Tumaini and the R-ACRSS including repetition and the implementation mechanisms.
Thereafter, the parties will discuss responsibility sharing.
The move is in a bit to break the impasse surrounding the diverging positions of the parties concerning the R-ACRSS and the Tumaini protocols
While the United Peoples’ Alliance rejected the reopening of the initialed protocols, the unity government delegations insisted that these are aligned to the 2018 peace accord citing repetition and contradictions in the protocols.
The government has also expressed reservations over the rebranding of group, UPA which it said is not the group the government previously negotiated with.
The parties-government and UPA are expected to resolve the differences on Wednesday as the agenda runs for two days starting today.
