For the first time since the formation of a transitional government of national unity on 29 April, the South Sudan leaders have met to review the implementation of the August 2015 peace deal. On Tuesday in Juba, President Salva Kiir and his first and second deputies were shown on national television shaking hands and meeting for discussions.

Pray for both sides to humble themselves and allow the civil war to end. Meanwhile Christians are still being killed by bombs: see
