South Sudan's transitional government will begin a two-year extension period on February 22, but there is no guarantee that pending provisions of the 2018 peace agreement will be implemented.
The transitional government extended its mandate in September 2023 to allow for the implementation of the pending provisions, and a roadmap was agreed for elections in December 2024, but the government faces challenges despite President Salva Kiir's promise that this would be the last extension. This current extension envisages an election in December 2026.
