Stephen Sackur speaks to Riek Machar, former South Sudanese Vice
President turned rebel leader. For the people of South Sudan five
years of independent nationhood have brought little more than
impoverishment, violence and suffering. The world's newest nation
is again racked by internal conflict. More than a million people
have been forced from their homes and the country's president
Salva Kiir, and his nemesis Riek Machar are again at each other’s
throats. Has South Sudan been betrayed by its leaders?
