Description
More than a decade after independence, South Sudan is still struggling to secure lasting peace. President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Riek Machar have signed deals, broken them, and returned to the negotiating table time and again. Now, with tensions rising once again, the choices the two leaders make could determine whether the country moves toward stability or slides back into crisis - an outcome that would affect not only their citizens but the wider region.
