A draft agreement negotiated by eight East African nations of the IGAD block, convening in Ethiopia, proposes an independent hybrid court, set up in collaboration with the African Union and United Nations to try possible genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
The 77 page draft agreement, released on Saturday, seeks power sharing between the conflicting sides as well as accountability.
