government working on sudan in south sudan and a lot of neighboring countries. in some ways i have a lot of sympathy and appreciation for the work that these people are doing right now to ensure that despite what we see as a pretty depressing lack of depression on this very important crisis, aid continues to flow, people continue to make sure they are advocating for continued assistance and support even in the face of what's going on in the government. that said, south sudan is not just a political crisis or not owning up to the responsibilities are taking further people, we are also seeing a crisis of international leadership. that is pretty dramatic. the united states knows that we gave ourselves a lot of credit for different, important milestones in south sudan's recent history from the signing of the comprehensive peace agreement in 2005 to the declaration of independence for the new country that was finally born. we know over decades we've seen church leaders in the united states and we've seen people from the right and left come together to actually suppor

six weeks ago. —— envoy for sudan and south sudan. let's think deeply about your mission. the mandate has changed. in 2013, it was about ambitious plans to try and form a new state, to help build a civil society of functioning democracy. that is what the un appeared to believe could be done in south sudan. in the last couple of years, much more focused on that, as you call it, the core job of protecting civilians in a time of terrible civil strife. the problem is yourforces do not appear to be able to do thatjob. partly because, to quote one un official in south sudan, admittedly anonymous, he said, the truth is, nobody wants to die for south sudan in the un force. and that is a brutal truth, isn't it? nobody wants to die. and i do not want anybody to die. let's be absolutely clear. you know what i mean, though. the point is that your forces go, when push comes to shove, whether it be the terrible incident injuba last year, when your forces stood by as killings occurred. and there was another case in a different camp, and 2015, as civ

the interest of sudan that south sudan left is toikma sure that south sudan become a state. it was one of the reasons why, there are more than 60 tribes in that nation. each of the tribes have their own interests. in how the country should be run. it's something i didn't know. some of my friends in south sudan -- it's one of the reasons why the country is like the way it is today. i am not going to dwell on it very much. we could go on and on and on and on. i was a lecture you are at the at a town for my tribe. it's not like here. you spend time talking to people. that's how you get the popular opinion. south sudanese are very different. -- [inaudible] northern kenya -- [inaudible] the n.g.o.'s are doing a very good job. i would like to one day work with the n.g.o.'s. i was educated by the u.n. when it comes to me personally i appreciate that. but, two, there are things that need to be observed. i thank my colleague for ringing up all the things. my the country broke out, room was destroyed. people one to new ghana, run to kenya. there is place where my friend comes from. th

. —— south sudan. it represents a tragic failure on the part of the rulers of africa's newest country, and on the part of the united nations mission in south sudan which has brought neither peace or anything else. i ask 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? i think increasingly so, suffering of the people of south sudan? ithink increasingly so, but there is a competition, of italy, for airtime there is a competition, of italy, forairtime in there is a competition, of italy, for airtime in terms of disasters around the world. south sudan sometimes, despite the enormous amount of tragedy, sometimes falls off the stage. right now, there are more than half the population of south sudan in need of food aid. one third of the country is displaced, either in other countries or internally displaced. and the conflict continues on. and this is not

sudan. you really didn't see him because he was just off fighting the whole time. he was off fighting and he was in charge of the whole area at the time when we left the town. he was the one who collected hundreds of kids that were sent to school. he gave me up because the villagers were going to war. that is how i was taken to ethiopia. so your father allowed you to be recruited as a child soldier when you are only about seven or eight? so i do not know if he knew if we were going to be soldiers because it was made attractive that we were going to go to school and learn how fly planes and make guns. all the things that people go to school for. so you thought you were going to get an education. you followed thousands of other south sudanese children. you went in the border of south sudan and ethiopia then. what happened to you at this school that you thought you were going to get an education, what happened? a lot of things. first, when we took off, we were put on a boat and the boat capsize

bornthis, south sudan was should say in 2011. last two secretaries of state, hillary clinton and john kerry, put it delicately, but there is some truth in it that d itunited states midwife into existence. they provided a tremendous amount of support, financial assistance, training to the government and to the military that is now carrying out these crimes. in many ways, the united states was the guarantor of south sudan's independence. after the nation plunged into 2013, thein december u.s. has walked away in many cases. for an armsush embargo until very late in the obama administration, until the administration was out political capital. and never even imposed unilateral arms embargo. amy: y? support was a lot of for these leaders in south , the, including salva kiir president, who do u.s. had fostered. there's a lot of lingering support from the prior civil war. there is always the idea that somehow tough talk would convince the government there to change its ways. over and over again, it has proved not to be the case. this gov

i spent a bunch of time in sudan in the early 60's. it was one of the countries that had recognized the people's republic. it had a very small embassy. one of the things that i found interesting was that sudan had a dirt well organized, very influential communist party. the chinese embassy people seemed to have no interest at all in working with the local communist party. it really wasn't particularly pro-soviet. my question is -- dion -- >> i think that is a good question. i am sure your recollections would be very fascinating to hear more about. let me say, this is the. there. one of the reasons that china kept a relatively hands-off attitude toward the communist parties was because it was very genuinely interested in trying to build trust. a lot of these countries, especially ones in the middle east and the arab world and africa, and the established relationship with china, what is china going to do, it is going to -- they were revolutionary. china, at the time was trying to say to these countries we are going to overthrow your gove
