The Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta who had visited Juba on Tuesday 30th August 2016 challenged South Sudan President Salva Kiir to implement the August 2015 peace deal that they signed with former First Vice President Riek Machar.
According to President Kenyatta, the full implementation of the now shaky peace deal is the only way South Sudan will attain prosperity.
During the one-day official visit, President Kenyatta told Kiir the people of South Sudan need peace and not war urging him chart way forward and restore law and order.
The Kenyan President is the first head of state to visit South Sudan since fresh fighting between forces loyal to President Kiir and his former deputy, Riek Machar erupted in Juba.
Kenya is expected to contribute troops to 4,000 soldiers that will be drawn from various regions as authorized by United Nations Security Council.
The foreign troops will provide protection for civilians and vulnerable leadership in the capital Juba.
