Is South Sudan heading to another civil war? | Inside Story

The world's youngest country, South Sudan, is on the brink of another civil war. That's the warning from the United Nations, after weeks of escalating violence.

His party says, the 2018 peace deal that ended years of fighting, has now collapsed. In a country that's still recovering from years of civil war, that's raising alarms in and out of South Sudan. So, can the rival parties overcome political mistrust?
