National Alliance suggests a transitional Supreme Council

The Transitional Government of National Unity, expected to be formed when the parties to South Sudan’s conflict sign a final peace agreement, should be led by non-partisan technocrats, rather than ruling SPLM party elites, opposition parties say. They add that these elites are the ones responsible for dragging South Sudan into war.

Members of the National Alliance, an umbrella group of opposition parties, reacted to the IGAD-Plus proposed Compromise Agreement at a news conference in Juba on Friday, July 31.
