The recent expulsion of the United Democratic Revolutionary Movement/Army (UDRM-A) and the National Peoples Movement (NPM/NPDF) from the Tumaini Initiative of High Level Mediation has sparked significant controversy and raised serious questions about the credibility of the mediation process both regionally and internationally.
The Tumaini Peace Initiative, aimed at fostering peace and stability in South Sudan, has faced a setback following the exclusion of these two significant opposition movements.
The expulsion was reportedly influenced by internal leadership conflicts within the South Sudan United National Alliance (SSUNA), a coalition that includes the SSPM/A, UDRM-A, NPM/NPDF, and the National People’s Movement.
The members of SSPM/A, UDRM-A , NPM/NPDF accuses Gen Malong and Pagan for owning the Tumaini Peace Initiative for their political gain but not for oppositions parties in the peace talk in Nairobi.
