The leaders of South Sudan’s warring factions on Wednesday agreed to a political deal designed to boost efforts to end their year-old civil war, diplomats said.

The deal is intended to end six years of conflict which has killed some 400,000 people.

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.

At least five African presidents are expected to witness the signing of the South Sudan peace deal brokered by Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) here today, The Citizen has reliably learnt.
