South Sudan and Uganda have agreed to establish a 14-member joint investigation committee to probe recent border clashes that left six people dead, a South Sudanese army spokesperson said on Sunday.
The agreement came after a meeting on Saturday in Juba between Ugandan army chief General Muhoozi Kainerugaba and his South Sudanese counterpart, General Dau Aturjong Nyuol.
“The committee will have equal representation from both armies,” Major General Lul Ruai Koang, spokesperson for the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF), wrote on Facebook.
The two generals also discussed the deteriorating security situation along the border during a meeting at State House and later met Vice President Benjamin Bol Mel.
The committee will be temporarily headquartered in Gulu, northern Uganda, where it will investigate the clashes in Kajo Keji County, southern Central Equatoria State, and propose solutions to ease border tensions.
A reciprocal visit by South Sudan’s military to Kampala is planned at the request of General Kainerugaba.
