    Rebel leader Riek Machar returns to South Sudan for the first time since he fled into exile in 2016. He is set to become vice-president under a peace deal aimed at ending the nearly five-year civil war. https://bbc.in/2DcjSw3 pic.twitter.com/CmJm0WBxQH

        Good point to start a new chapter. It's all about the people he purportedly wants to serve.

        I honestly don’t think Riek Machar or Salva kiir care very much about the people of South Sudan. More about their personal wealth and their families.

        I agree with your observation. However, I preferably see troubled situations a glass half full

        I hope these two leaders (Kiir and Machar) are serious this time. Their citizens have suffered for too long. It is time for peace and development.

        This strategy has been used and has not worked... Shouldn’t we look for new ideas now?...

        Machar and Salva Kiir are selfish leaders who care less about the suffering of the people in S. Sudan.They only care about their own and family interests...One day the truth shall dawn on them...

        I think one youthful south Sudanese should come up and appeal to the people for fresh mind leadership. These two should not make the country their property.
