The ranks of South Sudan’s army are now made up of both government troops and former rebel fighters.
It is part of the peace deal signed in 2018.
However, many in the new army do not have weapons, due to an arms embargo – and that is raising concerns about how it will maintain peace and security.

A soldier’s true duty is to safeguard the country and its citizens, not to any particular person or political party.
Very good , IN UNITY LIES STRENGTH
May the peace and peaceful coexistence return to this country
This is rare and very commendable and much needed for peace.
All habits are hard to die unifying the elite and tribal leaders is more important than military unifying South Sudan has been will always be corrupt place.
Integrating former rebels into national army without proper vetting system can be dangerous.
Do don’t be scared or be dangerous towards your brothers and sisters who were rebels. You will never breath comfortably without them. They are part of your life

Why south sudan separated from sudan?
Oil. Sudan is very resource rich, but there are foreign powers (the west mainly) who didn’t want the Sudanese to industrialize, so they and their corrupt sudanese puppets split the country. The south has most of the oil whereas the north has most of the refineries.
@Daude Teel These puppets must be thrown out of politics. I see how sudan suffer from poverty eventhough rich in oil.
Are there any american bases or nato bases in sudan?
I need South Sudan to put the lady in power she will up the country with better houses water and light and work for women and men

Finally, a country who are willing to abandon or apeing western political system with indigenous political system. All the best to South Sudan, may the country find a path out of western system of hate and division with unification.
many borders around africa and the middle east were drawn by the westerns.. and that created many problems..
Good news for the people. Hope this will bring peace & stability in the country.
