The warring leaders of South Sudan's government and rebels must focus on the people, not their own power, to end the conflict, says Ban Ki-moon, United Nations secretary-general. Ban "urges them to prepare for the next round of talks with the intent to expeditiously end the conflict," says Stephane Dujarric, a UN spokesman. Reuters (2/3), Voice of America (2/3)
