Celebrations are held in Juba to mark the latest peace deal aimed at ending South Sudan's five years of civil war. The agreement reinstates rebel chief Riek Machar as vice president and sees his return to the country for the first time in two years. Also, opposition leaders in DR Congo say the country is still not ready for tense polls due in December. And as election campaigning heats up in Madagascar, some of the poorest members of society are struggling to develop an interest in the event.
South Sudanese rebel leader Riek Machar was sworn in as first vice president on Tuesday, hours after he returned to the capital of Juba for the first time since conflict erupted more than two years ago.
Rebel leader Riek Machar's long-awaited return to the capital of South Sudan has been delayed, his spokesman says, citing "logistical reasons". The return of Riek Machar, who left Juba at the start of the civil war in December 2013, is one of the conditions of the peace deal signed in August 2015.
The leader of South Sudan's rebels has vowed to attack the capital Juba and target crucial oil fields, warning in an exclusive interview with AFP that the civil war will not end until the country's president is removed from power. Duration: 00:53
