A Ugandan government delegation is in Sudan to assess progress after last month's peace accord.

It's led by the Regional Cooperation Minister, Amama Mbabazi.

The accord is aimed at restoring full diplomatic relations but has been running well behind schedule.

It has however led to Uganda releasing over seventy Sudanese prisoners of war this week - a move welcomed by Khartoum. Diplomatic ties were broken five years ago, both countries accusing each other of backing rebel movements.
