Sudan: South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar have agreed a peace deal after a five-month conflict.
The deal gives way for an immediate ceasefire and the formation of a transitional government ahead of the drafting of a new constitution and new elections.
The violence in Sudan has left thousands dead while more than one million homeless.
Earlier, the ceasefire agreed in January was collapsed within days and both sides accused each other for the restart of the fighting.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said that the recent agreement could mark a breakthrough for the future of South Sudan.
