South Sudan rivals have finally signed a power sharing deal in Sudan capital, Khartoum.
The event took place on Sunday evening where hundreds of dignitaries graced the event to witness the signing of the security and governance agreement among South Sudan parties.
The cease fire deal that ends four years of fierce fighting between government and rebel troops was signed by South Sudan President Salva Kiir, opposition leader Riek Machar, a representative of the former political detainees and envoys of all South Sudan opposition groups.
Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta and his Sudanese counterpart Omar al-Bashir are the agreement’s guarantors.
In his remarks Mr. Museveni asked the parties to implement what’s been agreed on, avoid using ceasefire to re-arm for war, shun politics of opportunism, work for population’s interests, use fair elections to arbitrate political arguments, among others.
Held at Friendship Hall in Khartoum, the ceremony was graced by Museveni, Sudan leader Omar Al Bashir, Kenya’s Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Kheire and Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister, Demeke Mekonnen.
