The toppling of longtime President Omar al-Bashir has caused political upheaval across Sudan - but how are events being viewed in South Sudan?

The country gained independence from Sudan in 2011, but two years later a devastating civil war started that would cost the lives of 400,000 people.

President Salva Kiir and his main opponent Riek Machar recently signed a peace deal to end the five year conflict. The deal was brokered by Sudan but the formation of a South Sudanese unity government is proving difficult.

So, where does the change of regime in Sudan leave the fragile peace process in South Sudan?
