More than two years after 43 students from Ayotzinapa School went missing in Mexico's violence-ridden Guerrero state, their parents' quest for justice has reached a small, yet unsatisfying, breakthrough.

Parents of the students, who disappeared in 2014, restarted talks with the Mexican government Friday. The two parties, who halted talks in August 2016, reached a series of agreements about how to proceed with the investigation into what happened to the disappeared students.

The group of parents, who have continued to seek justice and truth in the disappearance of their sons and daughters, were not satisfied with the talks, EFE reported.

The parents met with the heads of the Attorney General's Office and the Interior Ministry for three hours before reaching an agreement. Roberto Campa, Mexico's subsecretary of human rights, announced the results of the conversation Friday morning.

The parents will resume monthly talks with the government, which has agreed to provide assistance to support police investigating the case and follow up on leads from international experts appointed by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
