In December 2013 South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, became
engulfed in a civil conflict which has claimed thousands of lives
and prompted fears it could lead to genocide. A fragile ceasefire
was agreed just over a week ago between the government of
President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar, who has
led the rebel forces, but will it hold? In a Hardtalk exclusive,
Stephen Sackur talks to President Salva Kiir in Juba.
