Abstract :South Sudan’s quest for a democratic government and sustainable peace is increasingly becoming elusive, because of several challenges including lack of political will, arms embargo, the diminishing role of the regional and international community, inadequate resources to fund the implementation of the agreement, and the widespread insecurity in various parts of the country. The article notes that these challenges have remained constant since 2015, undermining the implementation of the Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, and the newly extended roadmap ending in March 2025. The study concludes that unless South Sudan, probably with assistance of the regional and international community, sufficiently address the aforementioned challenges, a democratic governance remains a mirage.
