After a long week delay, Mr. Riek Machar, South Sudan’s rebel leader has finally arrived in Juba, and is expected to be sworn in later as the first vice-president in a new unity government.
Sources indicate Mr Machar left Gambella aboard a UN plane after the US withdrew its offer to fly him home yesterday.
Machar’s arrival is key part of a deal aimed at ending more than two years of conflict that has killed tens of thousands and left two million people homeless.
