GoSS Vice President Dr. Riak Marchar Teny met Onyoti Adigo Akwec, leader of opposition party in southern Sudan Assembly to discuss ways of organizing a south-south dialogue conference that would include all southern political parties, civil society organization and Church leaders among others.
Speaking to SCR news this morning in Juba Mr. Onyoti Adigo said they discussed with Dr. Machar ways to organize the south- south dialogue because there is a need to approach the referendum united.
