SPLM Clears Dr. Riek Machar of Allegations, Regional and International Pressure Mounts on President Kiir for Immediate Release
JUBA, South Sudan – In a significant development, the ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) and its affiliated security agencies have concluded that Dr. Riek Machar Teny, Chairperson of the SPLM-IO and First Vice President of South Sudan, was not involved in the incidents that led to his house arrest and the political targeting of his party members.
Following this internal clearance, mounting pressure from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), the African Union (AU), and regional blocs is intensifying on President Salva Kiir to release Dr. Machar. These international actors have stressed that releasing Dr. Machar is essential if the Government of South Sudan intends to demonstrate genuine commitment to implementing the revitalized peace agreement.
With these growing calls for accountability and reconciliation, expectations are high that Dr. Machar will soon be released to resume his role in steering the peace process forward. His anticipated return to active political leadership is seen as a vital step in reviving the stalled peace implementation and restoring hope for stability and unity in South Sudan.
