Peace at last for South Sudan
Play
Stop
The newest country in the world is also responsible for one of the longest-running civil wars still active, but today the fighting has stopped.
A ceasefire has been agreed upon by the nation’s leaders and the famine-stricken South Sudanese community has been given a chance to live in peace.
The deal will see a transitional government, made from opposing sides lead them until an election can take place, which is a huge step forward.
Refugees across the world are celebrating the breakthrough, and hoping that this time it lasts.
