South Sudan peace talks face collapse over new security law
South Sudan peace talks which have almost reached completion face a stumbling block, with opposition groups demanding a newly-passed Bill allowing the detention of people without an arrest warrant be scrapped in order to sign a proposed agreement.
Kenya has been hosting high-level meetings since May between government representatives and rebel opposition groups who were not part of a 2018 agreement that ended a five-year civil war, leaving about 400,000 people dead and millions displaced. Despite the agreement, violence often erupted in the country of nine million people.
