Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Representatives of the South Sudan United Front\/Army (SSUF\/A) and South Sudan government have confirmed their participation.<\/p>\n

SSUF\/A spokesperson Garang Malual Deng stated that the talks would likely resume from where negotiations left off during the Rome peace initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real day of the talks which was communicated to us before, is on the 10th of this month. It is supposed to begin where we stopped last time at Rome peace,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n

He expressed readiness on behalf of both the SSUF\/A and the Real-SPLM led by Pagan Amum, but voiced doubt over the attendance of the National Salvation Front (NAS) under Gen. Thomas Cirilo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI doubt, up to now, we have not seen anyone from their group [NAS under Thomas Cirilo], but almost all other groups, like Real SPLM, have sent their delegates,\u201d Malual said.<\/p>\n

Garang said the agenda of the meeting was not yet unveiled to them by mediators, adding that the talks are supposed to begin where the Rome peace initiative stopped.<\/p>\n

Both the NAS and the National Democratic Movement-Patriotic Front (NDM-PF) allied to Emmanuel Ajwain have previously rejected the Nairobi initiative.<\/p>\n

They cite safety concerns and a lack of consultation in the shift from the prior Rome-based talks.<\/p>\n

For his part, information minister and government delegation rapporteur Micheal Makuei Lueth, speaking to SSBC, reiterated the government\u2019s commitment to peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government\u2019s objectives closely align with the aspirations of the South Sudanese people, who have long yearned for enduring peace and stability,\u201d he said\u201d<\/p>\n

A government delegation led by presidential envoy Amb. Albino Mathem has arrived in Nairobi ahead of the talks.<\/p>\n

They were received by Kenyan Presidential advisor on the Great Lakes region, Mr. Charles Keter.<\/p>\n
