{President Kagame has met with Alpha Oumar Konare, former President of Mali and African Union High Representative to South Sudan.}
The two were expected to discuss the security situation in south Sudan and the entire region.
Rwanda is a member of AU high-level ad hoc committee that was established by the AU Peace and Security Council (PSC) at its 47th meeting on 5 December 2014 in order to support the South Sudan mediation of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
Konaré was in June this year appointed by the Commission of the African Union (AU), Dr. NkosazanaDlamini-Zuma, as the AU High Representative to South Sudan.
The AU envoy meets Kagame amidst a failed truce in the mineral-rich S.Sudan, after President Salva Kiir refused to sign a peace deal.
Kagame, who has deployed over 800 Rwandan troops serving under the UN Mission in S. Sudan (UNMISS), might have a say in the state of affairs in S. Sudan.
