African Union to mediate peace deal in South Sudan

Mediators from the African Union have landed in South Sudan for urgent talks aimed at preventing a return to civil war, as reported by Africa News on April 2nd.

The talks follow the arrest of First Vice President Riek Machar last week, a move that further increased tensions in the country.

President Salva Kiir’s government has accused former rebel leader Machar of inciting a fresh rebellion.
