 South Sudan sets date for first-ever election after delays


Authorities in South Sudan announced the date of December 22 for the country's first general election since independence in 2011, AP reported.


Elections have been repeatedly postponed amid recurring armed conflict. There is also a long-standing political dispute between President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar, who was suspended as the country's first vice president last year after he faced treason charges.


While the National Elections Commission says preparations for the election are underway, the opposition and some observers note legal issues and logistical hurdles.


Machar's group, known as Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition, or SPLM-IO, said unresolved disagreements with Kiir's administration make the pursuit of elections a dangerous matter.


While Kiir is expected to be a presidential candidate in December’s election, it remains unclear if Machar, who still faces criminal charges, would be allowed to stand.


South Sudanese government troops have been fighting opposition forces since a 2018 peace deal broke down over a year ago. While fighting persists in some remote areas, Machar is under house arrest in Juba, the capital, occasionally appearing in a cage to answer charges his group says are politically motivated.


A UN inquiry has found that South Sudan’s leaders are “systematically dismantling” the 2018 peace agreement, signed to end a civil war and return Machar to a unity government with Kiir.


The UN mission in South Sudan has warned of worsening humanitarian conditions and called for a cessation of hostilities.
