介绍:
The warring factions in South Sudan have reportedly reached an agreement to end their conflict and initiate a new peace process.
This follows mediation through Chinese foreign minister and the Inter-Governmental Authority for Development, a regional bloc in Africa.
South Sudan has been embroiled in a civil war between people loyal to President Salva Kiir and his former deputy, Riek Machar.
The two groups have agreed to form a transitional government and relieve the humanitarian situation in the conflict zones.
Clashes between the two sides have left thousands dead and forced close to 2-million people to flee their homes.
For more on the situation in South Sudan, we are now joined live by He Wenping, an African studies expert with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
