Sudan’s Foreign Minister Al-Dirdiri Mohamed Ahmed – who is mediating efforts to end South Sudan’s conflict – says rival politicians are due to decide in the next few hours whether to agree to a proposed power-sharing deal.
South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir and his rival Riek Machar signed a permanent ceasefire last month, although there has been some violence since that agreement.
The latest proposal would see an expanded government with five positions of vice-president – including one woman.
Since the fighting broke out in 2013, more than four million people have been displaced.
