The government of South Sudan has boycotted the second phase of the IGAD-brokered peace talks in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
The second phase of the revitalisation forum kicked off Monday following the December signing of a cessation of hostilities agreement. The agreement has however come under heavy criticism, with reports of violations from the warring sides.
