"Parties are discussing freely and honestly,"says youth rep at South Sudan talks

Emmily Koiti is a youth representative under the civil society umbrella at the High-Level Revitalization Forum in Addis-Abab, Ethiopia.

She is also optimistic the South-South talks under the stewardship of religious leaders, are heading in the right direction.  

The one reservation she has with religious leaders facilitating the talks is that they ‘risk losing credibility.’

On a positive note she says the parties appear to be discussing freely and honestly.
