Newscast Media JUBA, South Sudan—Despite having signed a peace agreement, a spokesman for South Sudan rebels says the president's reservations about a peace deal he signed signal "a lack of commitment" to making peace.

James Gatdet Dak, a spokesman for opposition leader leader Riek Machar, said Thursday that while Machar is happy Salva Kiir signed the compromise agreement, the long list of reservations cited by Kiir is worrisome.

The peace pact, designed with regional leaders mediating and backed by the international community, calls for a transitional government of national unity to be established within 90 days. Machar is expected to return to South Sudan's capital, Juba, as Kiir's deputy.

Even as Kiir signed the deal Wednesday, the warring factions traded accusations over fresh violence in Unity state. There were no reports of fighting Thursday.  

The only way to see the peace agreement bear fruits with a new transition government in place, is for the regional actors to stop interfering with the internal affairs of their oil-rich neighbor. Add Comments>>
