Juba, 7 Mar - (ANA) - Mediators in peace talks between South Sudan's government and rebels have said both sides' failure to reach a deal is morally and politically "unacceptable". Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, the chair of a regional body overseeing the talks, said South Sudan's leaders had failed its people. Their inaction, he said, would prolong suffering and a senseless war. The 14-month conflict in South Sudan has displaced more than a million people and killed tens of thousands. The government, led by President Salva Kiir, and the rebels, led by Riek Machar, missed Thursday's deadline for reaching a deal in talks in Ethiopia, overseen by the East African regional body, Igad. Further talks on Friday also ended without agreement. (ANA)
