Sudan War Sudan president visits South

AFP, Juba
Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir arrived in South Sudan's capital Juba yesterday for a day of talks on the country's three-week-old unrest, as mediators struggled to get peace negotiations underway in neighbouring Ethiopia.
Bashir was greeted at Juba airport by South Sudan's Vice President James Wani Igga, before heading to the presidential palace for talks with his counterpart President Salva Kiir.
Bashir made no public comment, although Khartoum has reaffirmed Sudan's support for "a peaceful resolution to the conflict", which has already left thousands dead and close to 200,000 displaced.
South Sudan won independence from Khartoum in 2011 after decades of war, but the north remains a key player in the young nation's affairs - serving as the export route for the South's oil production.
The visit comes as fighting in South Sudan showed no sign of easing, with the capital experiencing more sporadic gunfire overnight and government forces saying they were massing to recapture several rebel-held towns.
Heavy fighting was reported over the weekend in oil-producing Unity and Upper Nile states in the north, as well as near rebel-held Bor, capital ofjonglei State just north of the capital.
Army spokesman Philip Aguer said it was only a "matter of time" before Bor was recaptured, although rebel spokesman Moses Ruai insisted that it was anti-government fighters who were advancing on the capital.
The conflict in South Sudan erupted on December 15, pitting army units loyal to Kiir against a loose alliance of ethnic militia forces and mutinous army commanders nominally headed by Riek Machar, a former vice president who was sacked last July.
Machar denies allegations that he started the conflict by attempting a coup, and in turn accuses the president of orchestrating a violent purge.
Officials said the chief negotiators for both sides held another face-to-face meeting on Sunday, and had finally agreed on an agenda for the ceasefire negotiations - which were expected to begin in earnest yesterday.
A key sticking point appears to be rebel and international demands that the South Sudanese government release 11 officials close to Machar so they can participate in the talks, aimed at putting in place a truce as well as ceasefiremonitoring mechanisms.
The South Sudanese government, however, has repeated that the rebel suspects would not be freed and should face justice.
