Addis Ababa, Wednesday. South Sudan’s President and rebel chief met on Tuesday in a bid to end six months of civil war, agreeing to forge a transitional government within a 60-day deadline, Ethiopia’s prime minster said.

The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) deployed in South Sudan are undergoing intensive drills in readiness for a looming war in South Sudan.

The two sides from the conflict in South Sudan are meeting in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, on the day a deadline expires for them to sign a peace deal, or face sanctions.

The two sides in the South Sudan conflict face a final day of peace negotiations before international sanctions are due to be imposed.

South Sudan's president and main rebel leader are to meet for the first time since mass violence began in December, claiming thousands of lives.
