South Sudan’s main rebel movement said it will push ahead with a delayed power-sharing deal to end a two-year civil war even as it opposes the government raising the number of regional states to 28 from 10.
The group led by former Vice President Riek Machar has instructed peace-deal monitors to assist with implementing security arrangements for the capital, Juba, during the transition, according to deputy spokesman Nyarji Roman.
