Fighting continues in South Sudan as the sides prepare to meet. Officials said Wednesday there were renewed clashes between government troops and forces loyal to Machar in Bor, a town about 120 kilometers from the capital, Juba.

On Tuesday, rebels recaptured Bor, a key city they had briefly held before being ousted by government forces last week.

The bloodshed in the world's newest country began in mid-December when Mr. Kiir accused his former vice president Machar of attempting a coup.

President Kiir and Machar have both committed to the peace talks in Addis Ababa, which are being brokered by IGAD ((the Intergovernmental Authority on Development)), an East African regional bloc.南苏丹总统基尔和反政府武装领导人马查尔双方的代表正在埃塞尔比亚集合，准备举行和平会谈，争取结束南苏丹暴力。暴力已经导致一千多人丧生。

在双方准备会晤之际，南苏丹的战斗仍在持续。有关官员星期三说，在距离首都朱巴大约120公里的博尔，政府军和忠于马查尔的部队重新爆发冲突。

星期二，反政府武装重新攻占了博尔。上星期，他们曾短暂占领这座重镇，后来被政府军赶走。

南苏丹是世界最新成立的国家。南苏丹的流血冲突在12月中旬开始，当时，总统基尔指责他的前副总统马查尔企图政变。

总统基尔和马查尔都表示一定会参与在埃塞尔比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴举行的和谈。和谈是由东非地区集团“政府间发展组织”（IGAD）从中斡旋的。
