HARDtalk’s Shaun Ley speaks to Majak D’Agoôt, former deputy
Defence Minister of South Sudan. It took half a century of civil
war to give South Sudan its independence. Just five years later,
leading figures from the independence struggle are calling for
the UN to take charge. Majak D’Agoôt fought in the war of
independence, became deputy minister of defence, but was sacked
by the President and is now in exile. Have South Sudan's
politicians failed their starving, displaced people or was the
South never viable as a separate country in the first place?
