answer text: The third phase of the High Level Revitalisation Forum closed on 23 May with the parties unable to reach agreement on the key governance and security issues that are essential for long term peace. However, following a meeting of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)'s Council of Ministers, IGAD has decided to convene a further round of discussions between the parties to push for a viable agreement. The UK continues to engage closely with IGAD and its member states to urge them to take clear, robust action against those who violate the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA). Violations have continued since the agreement was signed in December. The Minister for Africa, along with senior officials including the UK Ambassador to South Sudan and the UK Special Representative, consistently raise the UK's concerns about ongoing violations of the COHA with IGAD and its member states, and continue to urge swift action against spoilers. We continue to provide financial and political support to the ceasefire monitoring body, the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring Mechanism (CTSAMM), to ensure that it is able to continue reporting on violations in a timely manner. We are nevertheless concerned that some CTSAMM reports have not been made public. The UK therefore continues to call on IGAD to ensure that reports are published in a timely manner and acted upon quickly.
