It emanates from the insidepersonal experience of the author who served as a frontline negotiatorrepresenting the SPLM/A (IO) from Addis-Ababa Peace Talks to HighRevitalization Forum in Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia and up to the face toFace phase in Khartoum, Sudan. Based on his own grasping of thethe entire peace process, the author provides in-depth analysis of issuesdiscussed to resolve the conflict as well as critical reflections on thethe diplomatic atmosphere under which the talks were conducted in Addis-Ababa, Arusha, Entebbe and in Khartoum. In sum, the book is largelya story of violent armed conflict, intransigence, tyranny of gun cultureand lack of political will to resolve the devastating five years civil strifein South Sudan.WAR.
