Regional
officials are finally running out of patience with obfuscation from both warring
parties and could impose sanctions next month
This time the
deadline for a peace and power-sharing agreement is serious, runs the message
from regional and international officials. On 25 August, the Inter-Governmental
Authority on Development (IGAD), which is mediating between government and
rebels, gave the warring parties 45 days to settle before imposing
sanctions.
The balance of
opinion in IGAD has tilted towards President Salva Kiir Mayardit's government
and is more sceptical about Riek Machar Teny Dhurgon's position. This means that
the most frenetic manoeuvring is among oppositionists, both armed and unarmed.
Some of Riek's supporters say privately that the former Vice-President's group
is far readier to compromise than it appears. Africa Confidential
