five years ago douglas johnson is the author of south sudan a new history for a new nation joins us now on skype from oxford good to have you with us so what has brought the two leaders together for this meeting i think the first in three years . well i think that there has been a certain amount of pressure on both sides and not only from ego but from within south sudan itself there are now more active civilian and civil society groups. being come in very vocal about their disappointment and their dissatisfaction with the government approach to these talks. and i think. the countries and others have realized that keeping in our way in south africa hasn't brought any. possible peace agreement closer and so this is one thing that they have decided to do. they think they're going to resolve their differences this time. well it's better to have them to meet and speak to each other than not have them meet and speak but probably frankly i'm not optimistic about a peace agreement coming out of these negotiations the document the ego has tabled in which passive which had been. approved b
