After twenty months of a deadly civil war, a tentative peace agreement is in place signed between South Sudan and the rebel forces.
President Salva Kiir Mayardit admitted signing the deal despite ‘serious reservations’ with his rival – Riek Machar - the man who will act as his deputy in the new power sharing unity government under the Compromise Peace Agreement.
Kiir is under pressure from the international community with the threat of more crippling sanctions if the South Sudanese president reneges on the deal. Is peace achievable or is it all too soon for a country still struggling with its tumultuous past?
