JUBA, South Sudan — Fighting has broken out in South Sudan two days after the warring sides signed what the government called a “final final” peace agreement to end the civil war. Clashes erupted Friday morning in Central Equatoria state when government troops stormed bases in Lainya and Kajo Keji counties, opposition spokesman Lam Paul Gabriel said. South Sudan’s five-year civil war has killed untold tens of thousands of people and created more than 2 million refugees, Africa’s largest refugee crisis since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Under the power-sharing arrangement Machar will once again be Kiir’s deputy — an arrangement that sparked the civil war in December 2013 when supporters of the two men clashed. “We remain concerned about the parties’ level of commitment,” said a statement by the United States, Britain and Norway, the troika that worked to bring South Sudan to independence from Sudan in 2011.
