SPLA permits verification of troops in Juba

16 April 2016. Juba: Troops of the South Sudanese army (SPLA) stand in formation to be verified by members of the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring Mechanism (CTSAMM) at the Pillbam military base, in Juba, South Sudan, on April 16, 2016.

The SPLA permitted today the CTSAMM to visit their military sites and verify whether or not the capital, Juba, has been demilitarized as required by the August 2015 peace agreement which President Salva Kiir’s government signed with the armed opposition faction led by First Vice President designate, Riek Machar.

CTSAMM is responsible for monitoring compliance and reporting directly to the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC) on the progress of the implementation of the Permanent Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements.
