Kenya hosts Sudan’s peace talks despite lingering mistrust
A South Sudan official has confirmed that Kenya will host peace talks between the government and the so-called holdout armed groups. The holdouts have yet to ratify the 2018 Revitalized Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The talks have been taking place in recent years in Rome. Nathaniel Oyet Pierrino, the Deputy Chairman of the SPLM-IO lead by South Sudan First Vice President Riek Machar, tells VOA’s James Butty, he’s disappointed that the Kenyan mediator visited Juba and did not meet with Machar who also plays a key role in the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity.
