JUBA， April 20 (Xinhua) -- The catch phrase doing rounds in the streets of the South Sudan capital Juba is ""will he come or not，"" after the rebel leader Riek Machar failed to return as he had earlier indicated.


Analysts say Machar's delayed arrival has created a power vacuum as the rival political factions are behind schedule in the formation of the transitional government of national unity under the signed August 2015 peace agreement.


Machar's absence was explained by his spokesperson William Ezekiel， who said the government failed to clear the flight from Gambela， Ethiopia of the General Chief of Staff of the Sudan People's Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA)-IO Gen. Simon Gatwech Dual who was expected to arrive to Juba before the rebel leader.


""Once again we are deeply sorry to announce cancellation of Machar's coming today (Tuesday) to Juba. It is issues related to logistics， there is another demand that came in that the chief of general staff plane must be cleared by government to fly into South Sudan space，"" Ezekiel told reporters at the Juba airport.


The SPLM-IO had promised Tuesday for their elusive leader to return after the Monday fiasco but this has left a lot to be desired on the government as its spokesperson Michael Makuei hinted the next decision will be on President Salva Kiir and his cabinet whose term has expired.


""This stalemate the way I understand it definitely delays the formation of the transitional government of national unity but the question is how long shall we wait for Machar. We have been operating in a vacuum since the pre-transition period has ended and the transitional period has not started，"" Makuei said.


Sources told Xinhua that Machar's arrival in Juba has been delayed because of a disagreement over the number of opposition troops travelling with Machar and his chief of staff， Dual， who is under U.S. and UN sanctions.


The opposition has demanded that Dual return to Juba along with the return of Machar.


Machar's return and subsequent swearing-in as vice president are seen as key steps towards implementation of the August 2015 peace deal.


The peace agreement which has failed to end the civil war， gives government 16 ministerial positions， rebels 10， former detainees and other political parties' two positions respectively.


And already the leader of the Opposition Alliance， a loose coalition of political parties， Lam Akol， has criticized President Kiir's decree issued on Sunday， appointing 10 members of the opposition allied to his ruling SPLM without consulting Akol who termed it as a violation of the peace deal.


Akol added that they did all the necessary preparations for Machar's arrival only to be disappointed by his not showing up.


Machar， a veteran guerrilla of the civil war has overtime built a Machiavellian character with his checkered history in the SPLM as being a divisive， power hungry and mistrusted figure among some of his contemporaries.


His infamous split from the SPLA in 1991 leading to internal fight and Bor massacre and his endorsement of the much criticized 1997 Khartoum agreement with then enemy Sudan didn't shed good light on his political star.


""This idea of lack of trust and confidence， yes it's there but it's built. How do you build it when you are not together but once you start to distance yourself you are actually widening the gap，"" Makuei said while commenting on the failure by Machar to return.


Makuei added that with already his 1，370 troops in Juba， Machar should not call for flimsy excuses for his not turning up in Juba and that any new conditions on his much-awaited return violate the letter and spirit of the peace deal.


""The government was informed that he wanted to come with an arsenal of arms， anti tanks and heavy machine guns，"" Makuei added.


""These 1，370 troops have already arrived with their individual rifles and live ammunition as ap.
