Why has Kiir Failed to Implement the R-ARCSS 2018?

Why has Kiir Failed to Implement the R-ARCSS 2018? President Salva Kiir’s failure to fully implement the R-ARCSS (2018) is mainly due to elite mistrust between rival factions, slow security sector reform, weak institutions, and competing political and economic interests within the ruling system. The agreement has largely functioned as a power-sharing arrangement rather than a transformative peace framework, leading to delays, selective implementation, and repeated extensions of the transitional period.
