The International Crisis Group published on 11 September 2024 an analysis titled "High Stakes for the South Sudan Talks in Kenya" by Daniel Akech.
Kenya is mediating talks in Nairobi between Salwa Kiir's South Sudan government and exiled opposition leaders. National elections scheduled for December are in doubt, South Sudan is facing a humanitarian crisis as oil revenue falls, divisions have developed in the Kiir government, and Riek Machar's party has withdrawn from the talks. The negotiations in Nairobi are imperiled.
