South Sudan rivals have signed an agreement on the formation of a unified armed forces command, a key pillar of a peace agreement signed in 2018.
Tensions between President Salva Kiir and First Vice-President Riek Machar had recently led to clashes between their respective forces.
The deal sets out terms for integrating opposition commanders into the armed forces.
President Kiir’s faction will have a 60% representation in key positions in the army, police and security forces while Mr Machar’s SPLM-IO and other opposition groups will occupy the remaining 40%.
