Omar al-Bashir Sudanese President this week said he is happy to host a meeting between the parties as regional leaders seek an end to the more than four-year civil war in South Sudan.
Riek Machar the leader of Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-in-Opposition said on Wednesday he like to meet President Salva Kiir but denied Bashir's offer to hosting talks in Khartoum.
Sudan’s foreign minister Al-Dirdiri Mohamed Ahmed said, President Bashir has launched an initiative to bring together his two brothers, Salva Kiir and Dr. Riek Machar, in Khartoum soon.
Machar’s Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO)said, he would be “happy” to meet with his bitter rival President Salva Kiir, but denied knowledge of planned talks in Khartoum.
Bashir’s offer comes after yet another round of peace talks organized by the regional Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) group failed to make headway in Addis Ababa last month.
The new location for talks between Kiir and Machar came from the latest meeting held between President Kiir and a high-level Sudanese delegation, which visited the capital, Juba.
The meeting will seek to resolve differences that have held back the revival of the 2015 peace deal.
