Storm over Salva Kiir’s push for South Sudan peace deal changes

The rift between South Sudan's transitional government and the body overseeing the peace process has widened over proposed amendments to the 2018 peace deal. Justice Minister Michael Makuei will present these changes during a legislative session. President Salva Kiir's decision to proceed with the amendments without consulting suspended First Vice-President Riek Machar has generated tensions, with peace monitors noting it violates Article 8.4 of the peace agreement.
