“The President of South Sudan is in contact with them (Al-Burhan and Hamidti) and is ready to go to Khartoum at any time. He offered them to meet in Sudan or abroad, so that they can discuss how to stop this war,” Dow told Sky News Arabia.
He stressed, “Al-Burhan agreed in principle to hold talks inside Sudan, while we are trying to reach Hamidti and talk to him regarding this proposal.”
Daw referred to his country’s call to extend the armistice in Sudan for an additional 72 hours, commenting: “The president made this proposal in the name of IGAD, and we await a response to stop the bloodshed that may affect the entire region, especially southern Sudan.”
He stressed the continuation of communication with the two sides to stop the war and return to the negotiating table in order to establish peace in Sudan, saying that they have not agreed until now on the place where the talks will take place.
