South Sudan's information minister Michael Makuei said the warring parties have made some progress at the ongoing peace talks in Addis Ababa today.

In a press statement this afternoon from Addis Ababa, Makuei said the parties agreed to form an inclusive government in South Sudan. “So far we have agreed on inclusivity. This is something agreed even though we are still in disagreement on the type of inclusivity,” he said.

The official revealed that no progress made on power sharing between the parties.

However, he said the thematic committee on security agreed on cantonment of forces.

Makuei, who is also the government spokesman, said his government made concessions for the sake of peace in the country, while accusing the opposition of sticking to its positions.
