South Sudan is entering a new political phase after President Salva Kiir Mayardit dissolved the revitalised transitional government of national unity. Preparations for elections scheduled for December 2026 have revived debates over lasting peace and the role of local initiatives, according to Eye Radio.
South Sudanese President Salva Kiir Mayardit dissolved the transitional government of national unity and began preparations for general elections scheduled for December 2026. The move ends the transitional arrangement resulting from the revitalised peace agreement signed in 2018, according to reports on the dissolution of the government on 22 September.
The search for lasting peace in South Sudan is also presented through local initiatives, including the use of digital early-warning tools, support for local agricultural businesses, the development of large-scale farms, trauma-healing mechanisms and the empowerment of women in cooperatives.
