广播听力:S. Sudan Signs Peace Deal with Rebels

South Sudan President Salva Kiir has signed a new peace deal designed to try to end nearly two years of civil war in the world's newest country.

In signing the deal, Kiir says his country will need help from the rest of the African community in maintaining peace.

"We will sign these documents, but I warn you, you regional leaders to stand with us in the implementation, otherwise we may spoil it if it is left to us. There is now fighting today and that fighting was uncalled for."

The deal to end the 20-month long conflict in South Sudan will see Salva Kiir forced to re-unite politically with his rival, Riek Machar.

Under the deal, Machar will become First Vice-President, a similar position he held two years ago.

The conflict first began in December 2013 after guards loyal to Machar and Kiir began fighting in the capital, Juba.

It quickly evolved into a tribal conflict which has since left thousands dead and close to two million others homeless.
