Trainee soldiers for a new unified army carry their wooden rifles while attending a reconciliation programme run by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) at a makeshift barracks in Mapel on January 31, 2020. The programme aims at reunifying forces from government and in-opposition that had been previously warring since the breakdown of political relations between Pesident Salva Kiir and his former vice president, Riek Machar in 2013. Under an accord meant to end the bloodshed, these adversaries were brought together in military camps for retraining to graduate as comrades in a new, unified army, loyal only to the flag of South Sudan.
