All the troops required for the return of First Vice President designate, Dr Riek Machar are in Juba, the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission has said. 

As part of the transitional security arrangements under the peace agreement, 1,370 troops are required in the capital.

The process for flying them in Juba started two weeks ago with facilitation from JMEC, UN, the TROIKA, Ethiopia and China.

The last batch was supposed to arrive yesterday with the Deputy Chairperson of the SPLM-In Opposition, Alfred Ladu Gore.

However, his arrival was postponed indefinitely.

The Deputy Chairperson of JMEC, François Fall says the last troops and police of the SPLM-IO were transported yesterday from Malakal to Juba, on a combination of United Nations and chartered aircraft.
