hello and welcome to the program my mama june the warring leaders in south sudan are giving peace another chance but is the agreement signed on sunday in sudan finally the one which will in five years of civil war many ceasefire deals have been signed then collapsed within hours and the fighting which has killed tens of thousands and up rooted millions didn't stop now a second power sharing agreement has been struck between president salva kiir and rebel leader rick machar the president says he's confident this one won't collapse we'll get to our guest shortly but first here's the morgan has more. another agreement signed between south sudan's government and opposition groups and renewed hope of ending five years of war this time regional countries brokered more than a month of direct discussions in the city's capital khartoum between the leaders of the worrying signs. the civil war started less than three years after south sudan gained independence from sudan in twenty eleven president salva kiir accused his fellow vice president riek machar of attempting a coup since then tens of thousa

economic crisis of course in south sudan but there's also one in sudan. on the promise that some of the oil. fields in unity state largely will be re constituted and and start producing oil again to feed and the economies of sudan and south sudan is an important part of this this deal what we don't know for example is how that oil money is going to be spent what the oversight over that kind of financing is going to be whether or not it's going to go when it goes into an escrow account whether or not the international community will have any of this so there are lots of areas of stairway potentially it could be a success because of the high level engagement of the region but it was so perhaps it could fall short because of their engagement. you just heard ahmed talk about you know the issue of oil and you know the ink was barely dry on the signing of this accord before president of sudan omar bashir was talking about the fact that he foresaw that oil would be flowing from south sudan starting in september first of all i want to ask you do you think that's

and sudan in that respect there is a long history between sudan and south sudan which makes their relationship fraught because of the border because of water because of oil because of the migration of people the idea that sudan is somehow a neutral mediator think we all can agree that that isn't the case but that doesn't mean that sudan can't necessarily be forced to influence a process more positively i think there are two limitations one is that sudan's own interests can't really be separated from the possibility that it isn't a neutral or isn't a trusted mediator let's say between all of the south sudanese elements inside the country certainly there is a degree of what so sudanese interests more than anything else but also this idea that there is a way to compel compliance is something that is extremely difficult so if the government of south sudan or the new government of south sudan doesn't live up to certain elements of the deal what can the sudanese do about it part of the problem of the peace process is that the compliance the mechanism for enforcement oversight whatever y

and it's a regional challenges much of it is a challenge in south sudan and i think the the u.n. in particular and agencies that it has been supporting have been very of a stretch and let's not forget that south sudan being one of the worst conflicts globally we have also seen an increase in targeting of. humanitarians working in south sudan and that has made them rightly of course risk averse now but i mean are you in a sense is not the u.n. says it is the deadliest place for humanitarian workers in the world correct. absolutely i think i can't remember the number but over on hundred seventy killed in the last two or three years one of the deadliest places in the world and it has made you know that the work of meeting the needs of sustenance people who are displaced who are vulnerable and that's up to seventy percent of the population. meeting those needs extremely difficult and and and those challenges i think a lightly to be ongoing for the international community but as i said there is a glimmer of hope that if this current peace process and we're talking a long long way ahea
