South Sudan President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar have agreed to return to re-start talks on integrating their rival forces into the army after escalating tensions threatened to derail the 2018 peace agreement.
Under the agreement that ended five years of civil war, both sides were expected to integrate fighters into the army. Intermittent clashes had resumed a few weeks ago after Kiir released a plan that Machar publicly refused to endorse.
