The sixth round of peace talks between South Sudan's two warring parties and other stakeholders has been delayed to allow discussions over substantial issues and agenda disagreements, as mediators and stakeholders remain locked in an endless round of consultations, a rebel spokesperson has confirmed. The peace talks between president Salva Kiir's government and the rebel faction of the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement led by the former vice-president, Riek Machar, began in January in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, to end the 9-month long political crisis which threatens to plunge the young country into a full blown civil war.
