David Yau Yau notes that Ismael Konyi, a local leader, agreed to peace talks with the government but insisted that international mediators be part of the process: “He [Yau Yau] demanded [that] UN representatives be present in [the] talks. He said the UN will be witnesses to the talks because last time when their person [James Kuburin] surrendered to the SPLA (South Sudanese army), clashes ensued.”
