International guarantors of South Sudan's peace process said the transitional government's postponement of elections due in December was disappointing and showed its failure to implement a 2018 peace plan.
Last Friday, South Sudan President Salva Kiir's office announced an extension of the transitional period by two years and postponed elections for a second time following a delay in 2022.
