South Sudanese rebels will begin face-to-face talks with the government, aimed at ending weeks of ethnic violence, tomorrow after several days of delay.
"We are starting the direct talks at 3pm tomorrow," Dina Mufti, spokesman for Ethiopia's Foreign Ministry, said.
Ethiopia is leading the regional mediation between the two warring sides
The talks in South Sudan's neighbour Ethiopia had already made a slow start yesterday after days of delay, with both sides meeting mediators from the regional IGAD grouping but not each other.
But further clashes between President Salva Kiir's SPLA government forces and rebels loyal to former vice president Riek Machar yesterday suggested the ceasefire demanded by bordering nations was still a long way off.
"We've successfully finished the proxy talks," Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom said late on Friday.
South Sudan's neighbours fear the fighting, which rapidly spread from the capital last month along ethnic faultlines, could destabilise East Africa and international pressure is mounting for a deal.
More than a thousand people have been killed and 200,000 driven from their homes in three weeks of fighting that has also rattled oil markets.
In a sign of deteriorating security, the United States yesterday ordered more its staff out of South Sudan, which only won its independence from Sudan two years ago in a peace deal that ended one of Africa's longest civil wars.
