South Sudan's former vice president and rebel leader Riek Machar agrees to form unity government with President Salva Kiir
South Sudan's ex-vice president and former rebel leader Riek Machar , flanked by President Salva Kiir Mayardit, addresses a news conference at the State House in Juba, South Sudan. February 20, 2020.
"And if there are things we have not agreed upon, we had agreed to resolve them. We shall finalise them in coming days," Kiir said. South Sudanese officials have diverted millions of dollars of state funds that are badly needed by civilians as the country staggers away from civil war, a United Nations commission said on Thursday. It accused rival sides of deliberately starving people for strategic gain.
“Corruption has made several officials extremely wealthy at the expense of millions of starving civilians,” the UN commission's new report says.
