The head of the African Union High implementation Panel on South Sudan and Sudan, Thambo Mbeki who was expected to arrive in Juba on Saturday may come much later. Information from the AU liaison office Juba says that Mbeki would come later not as earlier reported. A date is yet to be announced for his visit. The supposed visit over the weekend comes at a time the government spokesperson Barnaba Marial Benjamin is critical to the role of the AU in the resumption of negotiations between the two countries as required in the seven point peace road map. The former South African President met Omar Bashir on Saturday and was expected to meet President Salva Kiir on arrival.
