Boundary Demarcation – 2019
2019
The Technical Boundary Committee (TBC) was formed in January 2019.[1] The TBC’s full report was submitted to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) on March 26, 2019.[2] In mid-March, the Independent Boundaries Commission (IBC) began work.[3] The IBC’s final report was submitted to IGAD on June 20, 2019; however, the body deadlocked on the recommendation on the number of states.[4] During a September meeting, Kiir and Machar agreed to form a new committee to address the boundary issue, but this committee was not formed in 2019.
