South Sudan postpones elections again, until at least end 2026
Children who fled the war in Sudan look in to a nutrition clinic at a refugee centre in Renk, South Sudan , in February 2024.
While a peace agreement six years ago ended a 2013 to 2018 civil war between President Salva Kiir and his bitter rival, Vice President Riek Machar, feuding between the two has repeatedly delayed a transition that was supposed to pave the way to future elections. Earlier this year, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged parties to take"urgent steps" to allow the election to take place, while the UN Mission in South Sudan warned of a lack of necessary"technical, legal and operational expertise" for voting to proceed in December.
A"troika" of Britain, Norway and the United States issued a statement in late June urging political parties to work together and avoid a"consequential" delay.
