African heads of state are slated to meet to consider possible sanctions on South Sudan following violations of the ceasefire agreements. On 23rd January 2014, the South Sudan government and rebels led by Dr Riek Machar signed a ceasefire agreement in Addis Ababa under the watchful eye of Inter-Governmental Authority on Development. The two parties agreed to cease hostilities and resolved to end their conflicts, which had displaced more than 100,000 people and claimed the lives of 1000 others. However, the government forces accuse the rebels of attacking areas in Upper Nile state in breach of the ceasefire agreement.
