Sudan's Sovereign Council chairman in South Sudan for peace talks

Sudan's Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan arrived in South Sudan on Monday for talks with President Salva Kiir on the implementation of a peace deal signed last year.

Burhan's visit comes as part of a regional tour to discuss the implementation of the peace agreement, which was signed in October 2020 and ended a six-year civil war in South Sudan.

The agreement has been hailed as a major breakthrough, but its implementation has been delayed by a number of factors, including political infighting and a lack of funding.

Burhan's visit is seen as a sign of Khartoum's commitment to the peace process in South Sudan.

Sudan has played a key role in mediating the peace talks between the South Sudanese government and rebel groups.

Burhan's visit is expected to help accelerate the implementation of the peace agreement and pave the way for a lasting peace in South Sudan.
