Keeping the peace in South Sudan
The government of South Sudan has launched an ambitious disarmament campaign to curb spiralling inter-ethnic fighting there. For Assignment Rob Walker travels to Jonglei state to assess its impact.
South Sudan is supposed to be at peace: a deal was signed with the north five years ago to end decades of civil war. But inter-ethnic fighting within the south has spiralled dangerously.
Now, the government of South Sudan is trying to address the problem – it's launched an ambitious disarmament campaign.
Rob Walker journeys across Jonglei - the largest and most violent state in southern Sudan - to ask whether the disarmament campaign can really succeed.
