President of war-ravaged South Sudan Salva Kiir declared a unilateral ceasefire on Monday and promised to release political prisoners. He also launched a national dialogue which is a controversial bid to end a civil war that excludes his rival Riek Machar.
Kiir himself will be overseeing the dialogue, a fact which has drawn criticism from opposition groups and activists, and has refused to have his foe Machar take part.
