South Sudan warring parties have signed a final power-sharing agreement meant to end five years of civil war.
The ceremony last night in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, follows an agreement reached last month by President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar.
Under the deal, President Kiir will maintain his position while Mr Machar will return to government as one of five vice-presidents to be appointed in an expanded transitional government.
But a similar peace agreement signed in 2015 collapsed months later, throwing the country into further violence.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced in the conflict which broke out about two years after South Sudan’s independence.
