Jonglei Caretaker Governor Appoints New State Cabinet Members

The core legal instrument at the heart of this discussion is the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) from 2018. This agreement forms the constitutional and legal basis for South Sudan's transitional government and outlines the roadmap for institutional reforms and the conduct of elections. The African Union High-Level Ad Hoc Committee on South Sudan (C5), chaired by President Ramaphosa, plays a significant role in monitoring and facilitating the implementation of this agreement, acting as a regional diplomatic and oversight body. The upcoming December elections are a critical juncture for the R-ARCSS, as they are meant to transition the country from a transitional government to a democratically elected one, requiring strict adherence to electoral laws and constitutional provisions.
