The rift between South Sudan’s transitional government and the body mandated to oversee its peace process has widened over proposed amendments to the 2018 Revitalised Agreement ahead of the December elections.

South Sudan’s transitional national legislature is scheduled to sit and discuss the proposed changes to the 2018 peace deal, which has been the country’s transitional constitution.
