South Sudan President Offers Key Compromise for Peace

Agence France-Presse

   JUBA , SOUTH SUDAN - South Sudan's president said on Saturday he would
   return to a system of 10 states, a key opposition demand, paving the
   way for a unity government and an end to the country's civil war.

   "The compromise we have just made is in the interest of peace...I
   expect the opposition to reciprocate," Salva Kiir said, after a meeting
   of top government and military officials in the capital Juba.

   Kiir said the country would now be divided among the original 10
   states, plus three "administrative areas" of Pibor, Ruweng and Abyei.
