South Sudan’s rebel leader Dr Riek Machar has pledged to back efforts to restore peace and stability in his war-torn country.

“The status quo should not stand. Something will change,” he said after Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga visited him in South Africa where he has been under house arrest since November 2016.
