South Sudan's president Kiir 'in hospital'
Addis Ababa, 29 Jan - (ANA) - South Sudan's President Salva Kiir has been rushed to hospital in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, after becoming ill, an official has said. Mr Kiir suffered from nose bleeds, the official said. Further details of his condition are not available. His hospitalisation has delayed a summit of regional leaders called to discuss the conflict in South Sudan, the official said. Mr Kiir, 63, has led the country since its independence from Sudan in 2011. He held talks in Addis Ababa on Wednesday with rebel leader Riek Machar to end the civil war which has killed thousands of people since December 2013. (ANA)
