Riek Machar Discusses His Return to South Sudan's Capital

South Sudan's opposition leader Riek Machar is expected to return to Juba to form a unity government led by president Salva Kiir, a crucial step toward ending a violent civil war.
However his return to South Sudan has been delayed due to disagreement with the government over the number of troops he can bring and the weapons they carry, under the terms of a peace agreement.
VICE News traveled to Machar's rural base in Pagak, South Sudan, to find out what will happen next.

Aris and his reports remind me of the old VICE, the good content VICE!

[@kwasiasiedu1702]

+527 N.Y.C. be careful

[@0MVR_0]

Ya, be careful.

[@wormsali]

+527 N.Y.C. your moma loves us xD

[@tajayfoot1]

He seems very very calm/scared compared to the first time we saw him. He had a very happy go lucky tone when we first saw him.. Strange

[@DarkSideSixOfficial]

+tajayfoot1 War changes people. He's a humble man, but think about it. If you wanted to go and negotiate peace, but your opposition has tanks and heavy Arty in place waiting, wouldn't you be a bit un-easy too?

[@die4europa280]

+tajayfoot1 Yeah because after seeing all those people get massarced & being in a conflict for years that's not at all going to change a person. When you're in that suburban white kid bubble ...

[@tajayfoot1]

I feel like he commanded his troops to raise hell if he got captured or killed

[@tayyibsmith]

why are there subtitles when his accent is no stronger than the interviewer ? that's a Eurocentric fail an obvious sign of a view from the white lens

[@theskv21]

I'm not sure that the man needed subtitles. Good video though!

[@DarkSideSixOfficial]

+Eamon Bohan Some people can't understand Patois.

[@theskv21]

DarkSideSixOfficial True. I have a friend who is Californian and can't understand Karl Pilkington.

[@ehSimulate]

Is this that 17 year old highschool basketball player who is really 30?

[@samuelll7189]

Ask him.

[@InstigationMex95]

The guy didn't need subtitles at least to the fluent English speaker.

[@LejunglerenardThejunglefox]

I know Right I understand my Pakistani Friend's English though it may have an Indian Accent and is Vocabulary isn't as advanced as mine a Jamaican-American I always understood what he was saying.

[@psychowithsuperpowers]

He spoke better than the Limey that was interviewing him.

[@emmanueladega206]

@@psychowithsuperpowers mom

[@justreal956]

the man could barely lift up his head when spoken to...what a leader !!!u use ur position as a wealthy educated and well respected man of the Nuer community to cause so much pain and suffering...i really wish Dr John Garang was still alive

[@PizzyONLY]

if and when he gets to Juba, i don't think peace will come from it, the Juba government is already implying they don't want him back and the fact that theirs still fighting happening days before he's supposed to arrive back isn't a good sign.. idk but this could turn sour very quick

[@LejunglerenardThejunglefox]

I hope Southern Sudan becomes a 1st World African Country.

[@bonzibuddy8925]

+Andrew Cawley XD

[@adamtaurus8151]

Maybe in the next couple of decades

[@GoogleGebruiker]

It will always be a Third World Country, unless it chooses to ditch Russian Aid, and only works with Western Countries.

[@zak.886]

[@Queenofdacastle]
