Maker Mayek Riak

South Sudan’s president Salva Kiir and his erstwhile vice president, Dr Riek Machar – the current rebel leader – recently agreed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to form an interim government within 60 days. That is all that is known about the agreement. The details remain a mystery.

As the fighting continues in full swing in South Sudan, there is a growing amount of commentary that has been made and more is still in the making about the genesis of the problems and how best they can be resolved.
