South Sudan hopes to begin the long delayed demobilization of tens of thousands of former rebel fighters in May but many could return to violence without jobs or enough money.
The South Sudan Demobilization, Disarmament and Reintegration (DDR) Commission head, Arop Moyak Monytoc, told Reuters news agency that it would be a disaster to start the process and then get stuck on the way.
He said that soldiers leaving the army will initially get food, household goods and some cash to last six months.
