South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir and his former rival, now the country’s vice-president, Riek Machar have ended a stalemate over the selection of governors for the country’s 10 regional states.
The formula for allocation of states between the political camps has been a sticking point in the transitional unity government formed in February, with both eyeing control over the oil-rich states.
President Kiir and Mr Machar met at State House in the capital, Juba, and struck a deal.
