UN says South Sudan 'lukewarm' about regional peace effort

United Nations Peacekeeping Chief Jean Pierre Lacroix says South Sudan's government has shown little interest in a new regional peace initiative that the United States has described as a final chance to end the war. 

The Security Council has thrown its weight behind the drive by the regional group to kick-start the peace process through its "revitalisation forum" of a 2015 deal that has failed to take hold.
 
Led by Ethiopia, Foreign Ministers of the Seven-Nation Intergovernmental Authority on Development met with President Salva Kiir this month and exiled rebel leader Riek Machar in South Africa.
