I think the peace agreement this time is going to be successful and I am hoping both sides have learned the mistakes which happen in 2016. The people who runs their mouths must be told to keep their mouths shut because the problem may harms innocents people. Having two armies in small country was the caused of J1, Palace dog fights in 2016 and must be avoided this time. Foreign influence is another thing our people must be careful because there is a need for South Sudanese themselves to find way of healing, reconciliation, repairing the damaged of relation for the stake of people, nation therefore, the South Sudanese are very likely to make acceptance themselves and the unity for all would be achieved.
