REUTERS/STRINGER.Peace talks between the Sudanese government and rebels resumed on Friday in neighbouring South Sudan after a rocky start saw one of the main groups threaten to pull out, accusing government forces of bombing its territory.

Mohammed Hassan Alteishi, spokesperson for the Sudanese government delegation, told journalists that parties would start discussions on “political issues ... humanitarian issues, and security arrangements”. They were launched on Monday by South Sudan's President Salva Kiir — who volunteered to mediate — backed by regional leaders including Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
