South Sudan’s Deputy Interior Minister, MABIOR GARANG has resigned and accused President SALVA KIIR of lacking interest to implement the 2018 peace agreement.

GARANG was appointed in March when KIIR re-appointed the then opposition leader, RIEK MACHAR, under the terms of the agreement and says he resigned due to the worsening security situation in the country.

Communal violence in which hundreds have been killed in Bhar-el-Gazal, Equatoria, Upper Nile, Abyei, Greater Pibor and Rweng were linked to dismal failure to implement the security arrangements in the peace deal.
