South Sudan Opposition Unite Against President Kiir

Opposition groups in South Sudan have agreed to unite against the country’s president, Salva Kiir, Radio Tamazuj reports.

The decision came amid ongoing peace talks in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, which Mr Kiir is not attending.

The coalition says Mr Kiir is an “unfit leader”, noting that he hasn’t implemented the country’s 2015 peace accord.

Opposition members also called for the release of Riek Machar, the former vice-president of South Sudan, who is currently under house arrest in South Africa.

“For a truly inclusive peace process to take place, we strongly believe that he should be released to join in the process,” the group said.
