The Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) has withdrawn from Rome peace negotiations with hold-out groups, accusing them of using the talks “to buy time as they prepare for war.
The talks between the government and a coalition of rebel groups, which did not sign the 2018 revitalized peace deal that ended a five-year civil war, were brokered in Rome by a Catholic association with ties to the Vatican.
The letter attached below, issued and signed by the Minister of Presidential Affairs, Dr. Barnaba Marial Benjamin on 21st November suspends the talks until further notice.
