Description
Hundreds of former rebels belonging to South Sudan's unified forces were deployed in a long-overdue ceremony on the outskirts of Juba on Wednesday, marking progress for the country's lumbering peace process. The unification of forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and his rival, Vice President Riek Machar, was a key condition of the 2018 peace deal that ended a five-year conflict in which nearly 400,000 people died. Former fighters were integrated into the country's army in August last year but none have been deployed until now. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
