The consultative talks are intended to address the relationship between the Tumaini Initiative and the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS).
Key areas of focus include overlapping issues, contradictions, mechanisms, and responsibility-sharing, to conclude the Tumaini Initiative.
The 2018 agreement aimed to end South Sudan’s five-year civil war, which claimed over 400,000 lives.
Tumaini talks first began in May 2024 but faced setbacks after President Salva Kiir dismissed the government delegation.
A new team was appointed, but travel delays to Nairobi occurred without clear explanations.
Last month, Kiir clarified that the Tumaini talks were not intended to replace the 2018 peace deal but to address and integrate concerns from holdout groups.
However, the 2018 peace agreement has yet to be fully implemented.
South Sudan’s national elections, initially set for December 2024, were postponed following a two-year extension of the country’s transition period.
The elections, which will be the first in the nation’s history, are now scheduled for December 2026.
