South Sudan's president and rebel leader Riek Machar are flying for face-to-face peace talks in Ethiopia, a foreign ministry spokesman said Tuesday, to end two weeks of fighting that is feared to have left thousands dead.

"Both President Salva Kiir and Dr Riek Machar are coming to Addis Ababa for talks, they are coming now and should meet today," Ethiopian foreign ministry spokesman Dina Mufti told AFP.
