Peace talks between Sudan's transitional government and rebels will resume in the capital Juba on Tuesday, mediators said.
The talks, mediated by South Sudan's government, are aimed at ending conflicts in Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan areas. Fighting between the Sudanese army and rebels in the Kordofan and Blue Nile regions broke out in 2011, and conflict in Darfur began in 2003.
Speaking to reporters in Juba this morning, the South Sudanese Presidential Adviser Tut Gatluak who is the chief mediator said all sides sent delegations to Juba ahead of the talks on Tuesday.
"Peace talks will resume officially on Tuesday afternoon and most of the delegates are already in Juba. I want to assure you that the necessary arrangements are also in place," the mediator said.
On October 14, the first round of peace talks between the Sudanese government and the opposition coalition Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North faction, led by Gen. Abdelaziz al-Hilu, started.
The parties signed the Juba Declaration of Principles on September 11.
In August, Sudan’s new transitional government vowed to make achieving peace and stability a priority.
