South Sudan opposition leaders holding peace talks in Nairobi have expressed reservations about the upcoming elections.

They said that South Sudan is not prepared for a fair and credible election for various reasons including, the need for a permanent constitution, funding, resettlement of displaced people, an army with a national face, police to protect the poles and the current political environment in South Sudan.
