Follow-up peace talks in Nairobi

Ugandan and Sudan officials are in Nairobi for follow-up talks on the implementation of the agreement signed between the two governments in December last year. An official from the facilitation team, the Carter Centre, told IRIN the meeting was due to start Wednesday evening. “I cannot talk about the agenda, but I know they will be reviewing the implementation of the Nairobi agreement,” she said. The meeting is scheduled to end on Friday. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and his Sudanese counterpart Omar al-Bashir signed an agreement last December agreeing, among other issues, not to harbour, sponsor or give military or logistical support to rebel groups on each other’s territories.
