South Sudan holdout groups change tack and name

Espen Barth Eide, Norwegian Foreign Minister and Ambassadors to Kenya and South Sudan, addressed the ongoing Sudan Peace talks dubbed Tumaini Initiative in Nairobi.

South Sudan’s holdout groups are forming a coalition to raise their stakes in the talks in Nairobi, hoping for a better bargain.

The groups who have been participating in the Nairobi-mediated dialogue known as Tumaini Initiative, say they are consolidating their demands ahead of planned resumption of talks scheduled for January 15, even though there are signs the sessions may yet be delayed.
