S/Sudan’s Machar to enter Juba April 18

South Sudanese opposition leader Riek Machar says he will return to the capital on April 18 to form a transitional government with President Salva Kiir, more than two years after a feud between the two resulted in war.
Machar announced the date in a letter to officials monitoring implementation of a peace deal signed in August.
He had refused to return to Juba until it was demilitarized and a number of his soldiers were allowed to deploy there for his protection.
