Machar's troops to return to Juba
Mr Machar (C) has been reappointed vice-president
Peace monitors in South Sudan say forces loyal to the former rebel leader, Riek Machar, will be deployed to the capital, Juba, next month.
This is the first time the troops will go to Juba since the civil war erupted in 2013. Earlier this month, President Salva Kiir gave back Mr Machar his old job of vice-president.
Thousands have been killed and more than two million displaced in two years of fighting between forces loyal to Mr Kiir and Mr Machar.
A string of ceasefire deals have failed to hold.
