four say south sudan's feuding leaders have agreed to a power sharing deal to reinstate. as vice president they've been meeting in uganda to try and end the civil war in june mashad south sudanese president salva kiir agreed to a ceasefire but that was broken within a few hours more than four years of conflict have displaced millions of people tens of thousands of children have been separated from their families some are been reunited but in a country with poor organization and infrastructure tracing the families of many others is a major challenge here morgan reports from juba it's a moment of joy but also nervousness for eleven year old christmas as she packs her clothes she's about to fly thousands of miles to see her parents and she hasn't seen for more than four years since just before the start of two thousand and five all war. my aunt took me to stay with her for a while and then the war happened my parents thought i was still with my aunt but i

was taken to an orphanage i haven't seen my family in imperial time. is one of thousands of children who were separated from their families the war started in twenty thirteen when president salva kiir accused his former vice president riek machar of attempting a coup since then many children have arrived unaccompanied at refugee camps after fleeing their homes we're told was in the capital juba when fighting started in his home town find his children were displaced and it was nearly five years before he saw them again. cong when one of my barker had come to juba for treatment with the children's mother the war happened and i couldn't contact my children i even got sick and lost weight because i was worried about them sometimes thinking that they were dead within them. tens of thousands of people have been killed in the war and a third of that told million population displaced sixty percent of them children aid organizations say more than seventeen thousand children have been separated from their families since the start of the war and the fighting continuing and more

families displaced it's likely even if some children are being reunited with their families even more are being separated the process of tracing families and getting them back together is no easy task some children are very young and you need to have a lot of. trained staff you know to get information from children and the wide search area the transportation of children because no routes and it's only one flight security is a very challenging thing sometimes you know we identify families and we know where the parents are and the children in this kind of situation really storing the links between family and the child because we cannot reunify the child due to some of the security situations and security situation that kept war from seeing his children for years and which is my hopes will not you know heard your fertility for a long awaited reunion with her family people morgan al-jazeera juba. or near quite a is an africa policy analyst and he joins us now from washington to talk more

about this. so how much should we read into this they're signing this agreement but other agreements. been tried and failed so should we expect much from this. i think we should i certainly on both of professionally and personally will hoping that this one will will stand and it will not collapse like like the others that have been signed and part of the reason for my hope is that you know the it seems to me that the pressure is increasing from the outside i mean that two neighbors ethiopia and sue done khartoum the l.e.d.s. have played more the rule especially the new leader you need the opiah but you know the africa union yes hard as some need to know our short mauritania and their

cryptic summary of what they said about south sudan was also i clearly vild warning to the two leaders and i can tell you that even though the u.s. africa is no high on the us mr trump's i gained in my view his boss of the united nations has been very strong so i think that the world is really pushing these two leaders to say you need to stop terri our part your country because of personnel on bishan so it is my hope that this one will succeed where the previous one filled but i cannot give any there and he is of course so overall then what hope do you have for an end to this conflict which is going on now for four years and displaced. thousands of people and killed so many people in south sudan. you know i hope the world will end but i think it to be you know what i would say

previously applied to the agreement between the two leaders about sharing power they shooting around the country the hard work around the country which is what as displays the people i think about that i'm a little less hopeful about that but i hope that the agreement will lead to that because you know previously when the this conflict broke out three four years ago it was just between the two men and then it splintered along ethnic lines they knew or for mr musharraf and they didn't go for for their president but reports show that other ethnic groups feel threatened feel attacked and so they have also gotten involved and of course all these sides have militias which are not very disciplined and which don't even listen to their so-called political leaders so i think silencing the guns so that their refugees can return home i

am a little less hopeful about that but the agreement between the two leaders here is the first step towards that so over our house on move but it is not very high it would take longer to silence the guns you say these say that this was this is turned into an ethnic fight as well but how much is this a. a conflict over resources over agricultural land and over natural resources in the country. i think i think that there is some of that i mean in their natural resources when you mation resources i thought you were going to talk about you know sort of the moneys in the government hunts because all the best experts that i see think that part of the conflict for between these two politicians and their followers is about who is going to control their resources in other ways who's

going to pocket the money especially from from oil so in terms of resources fine i share resources the budgetary resources that's a big part but you are right there is also a fight over. and over. natural resources all ya'll in the ground be one of them so it's a pretty complicated war that is going on but it does build down to the willingness to fight. bush for peace between these two major leaders could speak. quite a joining stance from washington. now haiti has suspended a proposal to raise fuel prices after violent protests that left three people dead people say they caught a ford steep steep increases of up to fifty percent. as whole diane reports.
