UN chief Ban Ki-moon is to hold talks in South Sudan's capital, Juba, to strengthen an existing peace deal it's hoped will end two years of civil war.
The government is to allow the redeployment of troops loyal to former rebel leader Riek Machar, now vice-president, in Juba next week. It will be their first time back in the city since the start of the conflict.
The visit comes amid violence in the strategic northern town of Malakal.
A spokeswoman for the UN mission says burning and looting has continued in the town following last week's clashes at a nearby UN camp, which left 18 people dead.
