]]> South Sudanese political and religious leaders end a two-day retreat at the Vatican today ahead of entering into a unity government in Juba.

The period of preaching, prayer and contemplation is designed to bolster the flagging peace deal signed last February in Africa’s youngest country.

The retreat is led by Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

Salva Kiir and Riek Machar are joined by three vice president and South Sudanese church leaders.

The International Crisis Group warns that the peace deal inked in February is faltering.

In terms of it, Kiir and Machar are due to  enter a unity government tomorrow.

Since splitting from Sudan in 2011, South Sudan has been torn by conflict that’s cost 

400 000 lives and uprooted a third of the 12-million population.

After visiting refugee camps in northern Uganda with the Anglican church leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, this week, the Archbishop of Uganda Stanley Ntagali says he’s not prepared to engage with people who take what he calls an unbiblical view of marriage.

The next gathering of Anglican leaders is in London next October.

Ntagali quit the previous meeting in Canterbury last year after the Scottish and Canadian Episcopal Churches supported gay marriage.

The Archbishop is fully supported by senior Anglican clergy in Uganda.
