The South Sudan mediation has announced, on Sunday, the suspension of negotiations between the Sudanese government and the SPLM-N led by Al-Hilu indefinitely to allow the participating delegations the opportunity to hold consultations before calling for a new meeting.
South Sudan Foreign Minister Ramadan Mohamed Abdullah said in press statements, “We saw this as the last session in this round of negotiations to provide the parties with the opportunity to hold consultations with their various leaders on the nature of some of the technical issues that were raised during the talks.”
He added that the mediation will soon announce the date for the resumption of negotiations after receiving the parties’ positions on the outstanding technical issues, and stressed that another round will be held in the near future without specifying a date.
