South sudans lethal cocktail of failed governance, ethnic division, hunger and disease threatens millions of lives. It represents a tragic failure on the part of the rulers of africas newest country, and on the part of the United Nations mission in south sudan which has brought neither peace or anything else. My my guest is the head of that mission, david shearer. What hope there is for the people of south sudan . David shearer, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. Do you think the world is paying heed to the agonies and suffering of the people of south sudan .

The acclaimed South Sudanese singer and political activist emmanuel jal was just a boy during the Sudanese Civil War when he was captured and forced to work as a Child Soldier in the 1980s. He escaped and went on to see his people gain independence in a referendum three years ago. But now, south sudan is once again in conflict as rival tribes descend into Ethnic Violence that has killed thousands since december and left nearly a million displaced and at risk of starvation.
