Cease Fire – 2010

In its January 2010 meetings, the CJMC considered the presence of SPLA troops at Ngolongolo (07°40Õ30″N; 27°55Õ30″E) a violation to the CPA. The CJMC tasked Sector II AJMC to take up this issue with the Governor to remove SPLA from the area. They were to be replaced by the police or JIUs if there were any security issues.¹ There were some reports of violation of ceasefire. The SAF aircraft was said seen by the Timsha Team Site carrying out aerial bombings on 6, 8 and 9 December. There was no report of casualties but the incident was recorded as a violation of CPA in the 132nd meeting of the CJMC. In the same meeting, the CJMC decided to carry out an investigation of aerial bombing in the Kiir River area.² The CJMC mechanism remained one of the most important security mechanisms to resolve issues related to ceasefire violations.

Delay in the formation of JIUs led to the delay in the SPLA redeployment from Abyei, Southern Kordofan, and Blue Nile areas.³ As a matter of fact, there was no significant change in the deployment status of JIUs. The JIUs was at 82.6% of the mandated strength of 39,639 troops.⁴ The update suggests no restrictions on UNMOs movement. Nevertheless, various provision of ceasefire accord were either not implemented in timely manner or never implemented, or violated.
