The International Crisis Group (ICG) published on 12 March 2015 an open letter titled "Restart of South Sudan Talks Critical to Avert End-March War Threat."
The IGAD-led peace talks have collapsed and been suspended until sometime in April. The ICG argues that it is critical to restart the talks and expand the membership beyond IGAD-member countries before the end of March. IGAD is prepared to add China, US, UK, EU, and Norway to the mediation process.
