On December 8, 2024, Syrian rebels stunned the world when they seized Damascus and toppled the government of Bashar al-Assad, more than 13 years into the country's brutal war.  Spearheading the rebel offensive was Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, the leader of the Syrian militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) — and a man who has been designated a terrorist by the U.S. since 2013. In 2021, FRONTLINE correspondent Martin Smith became the first Western journalist to interview Jolani. Following Assad's fall, Smith sat down with FRONTLINE editor-in-chief and executive producer Raney Aronson-Rath to talk about what he learned from his conversations with Jolani, Jolani's journey from al Qaeda commander to rebel leader seeking a new role in Syria's future, and why he will be “watching to see what Jolani actually does, not what he says” as a new chapter in Syrian history unfolds. Stream The Jihadist, FRONTLINE's 2021 documentary investigating Jolani, his militant group and his ambitions for Syria, on FRONTLINE's website, FRONTLINE's YouTube Channel or the PBS App. Read more of FRONTLINE's coverage of Syria.Want to be notified every time a new podcast episode drops?

The world has told you that if you want more, you must work harder. But is it really the key to getting what you truly want? More impact, energy, fun, joy, adventure, enjoyment?   Most people work harder and end up with the wrong kind of more … more stress, more burnout, more self-doubt, more anxiety, more discontent.

More ambition, more productivity, more achievements, more promotions, more clients, more money, more things, more performance, more instant gratification, more freedom, more status, more impact.   In other words, you hustle 24/7.  But in this pursuit of more, you end up with the wrong kind of more: more stress, more burnout, more overwhelm, more health problems, more disillusionment, more misalignment, more self doubt, more loneliness, more anxiety, more stuff that weighs you down, more discontent, more following someone else's path to success.  Instead of having more, you end up with less of what really matters.  Less time, less health, less love, less passion, less joy, less peace of mind, less focus, less purpose, less fun, less energy, less heart connection, less meaning, less creativity, less balance, less satisfaction, less freedom, less life enjoyment.

With the upcoming digitalization, COVID, with the war going on, there are a lot of shortages! Shortage of materials, shortage of time, and shortage of talent. We truly live in a chaotic world and that isn't easy to handle. That's why in this episode of Rebel Leader with a Heart, I have an amazing conversation with one of the founders of Duval Union, Carole Lamarque about dealing with this uncertainty and chaos in today's fast-changing world.For more like this & free resources: https://www.qileader.com/Digitalization has been up and coming for a little while now. But still, changes and innovations in technology are made every day. This in combination with the inflation, the war in Ukraine and COVID leads to a ton of chaos and uncertainty. That's why in today's podcast, I have an amazing conversation with Carole Lamarque, the founder of Duval Union. Who is Carole?Carole has always been interested in crisis management and dealing with exponential growth. Remaining calm in the centre of a storm is what she has been doing for years on end. She says her passion for marketing defines her and she always seeks to go viral and create exponential growth. She also has written multiple books to inspire other leaders to deal with crises.What's the secret to leading in chaos?Sooooo, how the hell are we supposed to satisfy our investors and bosses with so little information? How are we supposed to keep up and not burn ourselves out in the lightning-fast times? Carole gives us four great tips for this!First of all, crises are here to stay. Our world is in a constant state of change and accepting this will make our lives so much easier. It is super important not to prepare for the previous crisis, but rather, we should understand what we can take from one crisis to another. We need to accept that we will never have all the information to make decisions. If a leader can accept that chaos is a normal part of the process, they can help their colleagues calm down and be in the right state of mind to make decisions and be innovative. Secondly, creating the habit of making and changing plans on the go is one of the most important tips great crisis managers give. It's not the ability to follow a plan that's important, but rather having the agility to adapt to and overcome uncertain situations. You should manage unexpected situations through your agility habits, not because you had a certain plan in advance.Thirdly, remember that you are never alone. You're only one element in the solution to a problem. Share your knowledge with others and don't underestimate their power to help you!And last but not least, never stop learning! Everything around us is changing all the time, so keeping up is super important. It's never too late to pick up classes or courses to learn about upcoming trends or read a good book about it.How to properly get help from othersIf you want to deal with chaos and uncertainty, you should never underestimate the help you can get from others, even if they have a different area of expertise. There are many ways of getting help from others and Carole gave me a couple of great tips. First of all, never underestimate the power of youth. What others sometimes see as naiveté, can often be a clever idea that can lead to great innovation. You also need a lot of energy in chaotic times and youngsters have plenty of that!Another great way of getting help, is to have conversations with people who have a completely different area of expertise and analyze the process they follow in uncertain times. You can often draw things from these conversations that you can apply to your work as well!I mentioned youngsters before, but that of course doesn't mean you should discard advice from more experienced persons. They have dealt with crises many times before and you can learn a lot from them as well!

Comandanta Ramona became the nom de guerre for the Mayan woman who saw injustice all around when she looked at the way women were treated in her community and the way the Mexican government treated her people, an indigenous population in southern Mexico.

By age 17 she escapes her abusive husband and joins a gang of dacoits. She eventually forms her own gang and carries out Robinhood-type crimes.In 1981, she survives an attack by rivals who beat, rape, and leave her for dead. She seeks revenge by executing her attackers in what comes to be known as the Behmai Massacre, and she is forced to go on the lam. But now she's become a heroic outlaw figure of sorts—the underdog, the Bandit Queen— and she is protected by the lower castes.

What do leadership, culture and wine have in common?  Pour yourself your favorite glass to enjoy – from water to wine – and take a listen! To me, what wine decants is what I appreciate the most – the legs of conversation and the bouquet of relationships that often are accomplished when you uncork the bottle and pour a glass of fragrant communication. Wine has a way of bringing people together to share a common interest while swirling dialogue around the room. This episode highlights Leadership Uncorked, an event co-created by my guest, Donna Brighton. Donna is the Chief Idea Officer at The Brighton Leadership Group, a speaker, and author of The Rebel Leader. I admire how she lives her life with clear intentions and follows through by making her goals a reality. Listen, for when Donna defines leadership and likens it to the French wine term terroir. Her experiences and passions align beautifully to her career reinvention as she helps companies evolve with clear intentions when it comes to cultural transformation.

The Tang Empire enters its death spiral. The cumulative effects of more than a century of economic mismanagement intersects with the peasantry and military's respective gripes with the government to disastrous effects south of the Yangtze River.

You might know Steve as the creator and Rebel Leader of Nerd Fitness, a wildly popular community of desk jockeys and average Joe’s looking to level up their lives. He’s also author of Level Up Your Life: How to Unlock Adventure and Happiness by Being the Hero of Your Own Story (if you’re into personal development or self-improvement, I can’t recommend this hilarious, insightful, and uplifting book more strongly). But Steve is way more interesting than the books and businesses he’s created. He’s also a former skinny dude who’s bulked up to look like Captain America. Today, he can do muscle-ups. He’s spoken at Google and Facebook. And the dramatic transformations he’s enabled are truly remarkable. The best part? Steve is one of the good guys – someone I’ve had a few adult beverages with and let stay at my house. I respect him. And I think you will as well after you listen to us chat about health, goal-setting, and how to make exercise easy to do.

Confronted with an entire army of demons, the heroes and the princess come to a decision. Keith McBlane DMs. Glen Tickle plays Ashes the Magnificent, the tiefling wizard.

Leviathan CGI was interesting, not great, not crappy Compressed light blasts - aww yeah Bad-ass punch to the head Kendra v Savage Really liked the mace effect Kendra laid into Savage and Carter with a bad ass spiked mace - no blood Legends and Cassandra Savage v. Shock Troops Casandra with the throwing knife in the back … But why did they stand around when they had Savage at the start Time Travel: Share your thoughts He knows where his family is even though they were at Whitechapel - can't get his family to safety. OK, so no matter what he does Savage's forces keep killing his family - time wants his family to die, yet he's still trying to change it. Rip Hunter Running into the final battle at the rally with no real plan - yet another example of not great captaining A bit of a dick not wanting the refugees on board Gideon He basically gives up when the Waverider is damaged. Vandal Savage Great speech at the start Vandal Savage's Daughter - Cassandra Savage Decent training montage with a katana She didn't know that the Armageddon virus was unleashed by Savage, and that Savage created Per Degaton… and there came the inevitable reveal Joins the rebels at the end. The Atom - Ray Palmer “It worked, I'm not dead… yet” Giant Sized ATOM Looks crushed when Kendra says “we need to talk” White Canary - Sara Lance Aside from decent staff fighting, not a lot Kinda weird that she brought up the whole soulmate thing with Kendra, but she's her friend, so I guess it was in character Hawkgirl - Kendra Saunders Golden mace is pretty cannon - Nth metal Hawkman - Carter Hall Spike mace training scene, he wasn't actually a bit of a douche Captain Cold - Leonard Snart Solid throughout the episode, esp. In his interactions with Cassandra Backstory with his dad who was a monster is a lot of callback to the Flash Episode with Golden Glider as well. Heatwave - Mick Rory “It works with my outfit” It's great when Mic is actually into the role - his looks while interrogating the daughter was kinda awesome. Firestorm - Professor Martin Stein Cared about the refugees, but didn't have a lot to do - was injured for the climactic fight. Firestorm - Jefferson Jackson Ray's cheering section - not a lot of direct action since Stein was out of commission. Waverider/Gideon EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS:  Season 1 Episode 13 “Leviathan” (Date: 29 Apr 2016) Article:http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/04/29/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow---x-things-you-might-have-missed-in-levi/   Leviathan: There have been two Leviathans in DC Comics.  The first Leviathan was Gim Allor, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.  The most recent Leviathan wasn't a person at all, but an offshoot of the League of Assassins.  Talia al Ghul created Leviathan to oppose Batman Inc. Growing Atom: Savage's Leviathan is clearly a giant version of Ray's ATOM suit The Rebel Leader: Sharon Taylor, who played the unnamed Rebel Leader on tonight's episode, was in Smallville, she played Zod's lieutenant Faora Cassandra Savage: Cassandra Savage is actually based on a different DC character...  Kassandra Sage is one of Vandal Savage's daughters in the New 52.  After the police arrested Savage for a string of sacrificial murders, Kass grew up to become a profiler for the FBI, specializing in serial killers.  After not speaking to Savage for years, Kass used her father to help solve a string of copycat murders committed by the son of the man who arrested Savage.  Of course, most fans were hoping that Cassandra would wind up being Scandal Savage, a member of the Secret Six, a group of anti-hero mercenaries. Extra - thumping class of scotch looked like Jurassic Park. Extra - did anyone think of Capt. America Civil war when ATOM grew - like Ant-man growing into Giant-man   ARROW NEWS:   Wendy Mericle talks Prometheus, no magic, and Flashpoint (Date: 24 Aug 2016) * “for Season 5 … we did want to go back to our roots and figure out what is specific to this show.

On today's special episode of Loud & Clear, Brian spends the full hour dealing with the dramatic new developments in the Philippines, including a discussion with Communist Party founder Jose Maria Sison, where the new government of Rodrigo Duterte and the New People's Army are making moves to put an end to the country's civil war. The new President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has said it is his dream to end of the nearly fifty year armed conflict in the country. Last week, he declared a unilateral ceasefire with the New People’s Army, but withdrew it just days later. Still, the Communist Party has said that it expects to declare a truce along with the government on August 20th, the same day that peace negotiations are due to begin in Oslo.Brian is joined by Jose Maria Sison, who is the senior political adviser to the National Democratic Front, which is the organization that will begin peace talks with the Duterte government on August 20. Brian also speaks with Bernadette Ellorin, chairperson of BAYAN-USA, and Rhonda Ramiro, vice-chair of BAYAN-USA in addition to Anakbayan-USA chairperson Adrian Bonifacio and Nap Pempeña, Vice-Chairperson of Anakbayan-USA.

Enterprise social networks, user interface, performance management, and human centered design. These are all topics Kevin Jone and I discuss in this 3rd and final episode with him.   Kevin Jones works with companies to help them reimagine and change the way they work, operate, and how they engage their employees.  The only way to do this is to challenge the status quo.Kevin is an advisor, international speaker, and videographer, his expertise lies in organizational strategy, Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs), initiative adoption, and bringing the best out of employees.  He focuses on the human side of business and technology. Kevin’s clients include NASA, Lowes, JCPenny, Dell, and many other well known companies.  He’s authored two e-books, and produces videos that help communicate how we can challenge the status quo.   Questions What technology could you implement that would improve the communication between teams at your company?   Do you really need to be doing everything you’re doing? Are there policies or traditional activities that could be dropped? What could you do to free up time to begin redesigning your workplace?   Are your employee surveys designed for the employees or managers?   What can you do to bubble up ideas for a new culture at your company?   Notes taken during editing   Resources Kevin Jones at vinjones.com - https://vinjones.com/   Employee Engagement measurement tools at viaPing - https://viaping.com/   Kevin Jones interview on the Switch and Shift podcast The Rebel Leader, Our Complicated Fascination with Employee Engagement - http://switchandshift.com/fascination-employee-engagement   XPlane works on organizational design. http://www.xplane.com/   Barry Wehmiller Leadership Institute - http://www.bwleadershipinstitute.com/   Notes taken during the editing of the podcast Q- we do things that keep us busy - cut it and need to trim it.   Traditional ways are working for you right now. But how can it be better?   User Interface and User Experience - how could you use design principles to alter the way your work is done? How your organization is structured?   How can you look at your performance management processes differently   Human centered design.   Portrait Artist - I discovered Meredith Binnette at her school’s senior art show. She's recently graduated high school and is pursuing art in college. Meredith, good luck in your pursuits.The Inspired and Intentional business show is about those at the vanguard of a movement of business, government, and nonprofit leaders who believe work can be better...different.   You can run a business or organization that: Affirms people Is financially solid Inspires your community Operates openly with excellence And Communicates a clear, consistent vision   Now let’s be inspired.

In part 2 of my series with Kevin Jones, I asked for details on his company viaPing and the work he’s doing around employee feedback. We’ve all seen the yearly, or in one case every 3 year, employee feedback surveys. We take them and very rarely see any results or actions taken as a result. Kevin’s thought of another method that he’s helped companies implement and it’s called viaPing and it’s a methodology of daily employee feedback. Yes, daily.   This talk is not just about his company it’s about loosening up control, giving employees more room to take chances, and creating opportunities for conversations to begin among all levels and departments of  your company.   Kevin Jones works with companies to help them reimagine and change the way they work, operate, and how they engage their employees.  The only way to do this is to challenge the status quo.Kevin is an advisor, international speaker, and videographer, his expertise lies in organizational strategy, Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs), initiative adoption, and bringing the best out of employees.  He focuses on the human side of business and technology. Kevin’s clients include NASA, Lowes, JCPenny, Dell, and many other well known companies.  He’s authored two e-books, and produces videos that help communicate how we can challenge the status quo.   Questions - How can you create communication methods so people who don’t know each other to meet and share ideas to create solutions?   Like the invoicing team at the consultants, what departments could start asking questions to the users to improve how they operate?   Resources Kevin Jones at vinjones.com - https://vinjones.com/   Employee Engagement measurement tools at viaPing - https://viaping.com/   Kevin Jones interview on the Switch and Shift podcast The Rebel Leader, Our Complicated Fascination with Employee Engagement - http://switchandshift.com/fascination-employee-engagement   http://www.xplane.com/   Q 2423 We don’t care what our employees think.   Engagement and employee feedback can be more effective if it’s more grassroots.   Employee feedback should be more often than once a year. It should also be shared with each other to begin conversations.   Don’t assume management needs to solve the problems. Create something insourced management - let it come from the bottom/inside up.   Employee feedback needs to be the beginning of the conversation.   Be more open and let employees know the obstacles to change.   Initiative Adoption - how do you get your teams to adopt initiatives?   One thing - does it align with how your team works?   With a robust employee feedback mechanism, you may see better adoption of new initiatives because they come from the people they affect and not from “on high”.   Portrait Artist - I discovered Meredith Binnette at her school’s senior art show.

Kevin Jones is the featured guest for the next 3 episodes. In this episode we talk about: Working through the balance of technology and human side of business and how we cap employees potential.   Even though we have the best intentions employees are still  disengaged. The importance of designing our business for the employees not just the customers. And one “simple” solution that can help move your organization to more collaboration and engagement.   Kevin Jones works with companies to help them reimagine and change the way they work, operate, and how they engage their employees.  The only way to do this is to challenge the status quo.Kevin is an advisor, international speaker, and videographer, his expertise lies in organizational strategy, Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs), initiative adoption, and bringing the best out of employees.  He focuses on the human side of business and technology. Kevin’s clients include NASA, Lowes, JCPenny, Dell, and many other well known companies.  He’s authored two e-books, and produces videos that help communicate how we can challenge the status quo.   Questions Are your company processes, structure, and culture truly aligned to relinquish some control to allow your team to be more agile?   Do your employees understand the why of their work? The purpose?   What can you do to design your work so that you enable employees to give their best to provide the best product for the cusotmers?   Resources Kevin Jones at vinjones.com - https://vinjones.com/   Employee Engagement measurement tools at viaPing - https://viaping.com/   Kevin Jones interview on the Switch and Shift podcast The Rebel Leader, Our Complicated Fascination with Employee Engagement - http://switchandshift.com/fascination-employee-engagement   http://www.xplane.com/   Notes Taken During Editing Technology’s advanced but how we design our work hasn’t advanced as much.   Are humans in the workplace just resources simply to be managed?   We’re marginalizing our people and capping their potential because of how we design our work.   Do you want to move beyond corporate zombies and tap into the potential of your employees? Listen here.   How often are you shooting down the ideas of your team members without consideration for validity.   Employee Capping example: Senior leader who is so busy that he doesn’t have the time to respond to the feedback, so people stop providing feedback, next time he asked.   Is your company set up to put caps on people?   Employees, do you want to love your work?   Engagement is more of a personal thing. Does the employee understand the why of their work? The purpose?   The culture is how we work together. The unsaid things. How we interact. How things get done. 1420 Cost of disengagement and bad culture: mediocrity.   When starting a company we design it for customers. At some point, we need to also think how we design our company for the employees.   Q 2100+-  Design to enable employees to  give their best to provide the best product for the cusotmers.   Change means change in the company structure and processes as much as in people.   Change can come from a scary yet simple solution: give up some control.   Do you want your company to be more agile? Release some control and let your people be more agile.   Portrait Artist - I discovered Meredith Binnette at her school’s senior art show.

No Question this week - simply buy Shawn's book, Optimistic Workplace and start working on the worksheets and questions he created at the back. Notes taken during the editing of the show Optimistic Workplace came about because of a terrible experience at a “Great Place to Work”. Pay for classes that didn’t apply directly to their job. “We’re not here to help people self-actualize.” Who out there are creating great workplaces and how are they doing it. Studs Terkel - Read him. “Often times our work is violent, to our spirit.” You can continue to have a violent workplace or you can do something to make a more optimistic workplace. You don’t have to stay stuck there. Management needs to evolve. Leadership and Stewardship. “Management” is about control and monitor and manipulate. People want to connect, want purpose, want freedom to get the job done, to be responsible. “Management” should steward and take care of the people and create an environment of success and creativity. Not just people first. Purpose, meaningful work, and Extraordinary people to create an amazing work environment. The three work together as the origins of optimism. Bob Chapman says that he’s yet to find someone disagree with him that “Everybody Matters”. What he does struggle to find, is the people willing to follow through and make the changes necessary to move the needle on human workplaces. Somebody has to go first in creating a workplace where everybody matters. And they’re not sure what to do. Shawn has created tools at the end of his book to help people, especially middle managers. Optimism planner - 90 days. Personal values, meeting designs to get people on the same page on an optimistic workplace. One on One format. Optimism One on Ones. Focus on work progress. Purpose and values alignment. Are your managers, managers or stewards? What can you do to help this to change in your workplace? Not a question: get his book and try those exercises at the end of the book. I don’t make any money from these purchases.

Special guest: Singer Sia Tolno. Sia Tolno was born1975 in Gueckedou in Guinea, Geopolitical this ravaged area had eleven years of civil war, from 1991 to 2002, because of the"blood diamonds", which were taken by warlords.  Sia Tolno has long wanted to "seize the Afrobeat, an expression of anger music, which is at the height of what I mean."  For her previous two albums, Eh Sanga and My Life (RFI Award 2011), she worked with Guinean guitarist Kante Manfila (a former Ambassadors Salif Keita) first, then Mamadou Camara, guitarist veteran of orchestra Kaloum Star. Sia Tolno advocate for women. "They have a place in Africa today," she said, using the example of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Nobel Peace Prize, which governs Liberia since 2006. "For us, family, husband, children, a belief, it is important. You have to respect it to better denounce the scourge of female circumcision. So I say without aggression, "it must cut anything." Or I talk to women so they no longer tolerate humiliating marriage, but respecting their values. " The album African Woman denounces the machismo (Manu), the imbecility of the warlords (Rebel Leader) and police corruption (African Police). It promotes education of women, inevitably powerful (Waka Waka Woman), against excision (Kekeleh). She also tells the tragic story of Koita and Fode Tounkara Yaguine, two teenagers prospective migrants found dead in the landing gear of the flight 520 of Sabena in 1999. Idjo Weh is devoted to youth "which is locked in Africa, wedged between parental influence and social structures. You can not be master of yourself, because there is always someone better equipped than you, and this generates violence, rebellion, and all sortesde traffic.

Unleash The Unlimited Potential of Your Team, Shawn Murphy, Part 2 Questions Does your company have a set of values that all know to help them be on the same page on how you're going to succeed as a company?   Does your team feel free to contribute ideas?   Switch and Shift - what does the “human side of business” mean?   Notes taken during the editing of the episode They’re employees are spread out all over the country.   Discussion of how Switch and Shift’s story might help my wife as she structures her business to be family friendly.   Gig economy - flexibility to go where the work is and to help a variety of people who are also working on your gigs.   What is be be do at Switch and Shift. Instead of the normal core values they decided to create this saying as driving values behind their company. Be inspirational. (You know I like that one.) Be Heretical. Do Good. Their guiding principles.   They shape their intentions and decisions. They are also upgrading their values as the company has grown and they believe they need to be more defined and universal.   Lots of companies have financial success without thinking about all this human worth stuff. So why think about it? You remove the lid on performance and make it unlimited. Lift the lid on your team’s potential. People will contribute more when they are valued and allowed to be creative.   Is all this just an attempt by The Man to stick it to employees to get more out of them without more pay or more benefits?   If we and our people are spending so much time at work, shouldn’t we create an atmosphere of positive vibes, solid productivity, and mindfulness about the work being done. You want them inspired so they are open when the cool ideas come at those off work times.   Is this all just a first world problem? No matter where you are in the world, you are working and you want to do something that is meaningful and contributes to a greater many and not just to a few.   Resources Strengths Scope - http://www.strengthscope.com/   Strengths Finder from Gallup - https://www.gallupstrengthscenter.com/   Shawn’s company, Switch and Shift: http://www.switchandshift.com   Shawn’s podcast, The Rebel Leader: http://switchandshift.com/category/the-rebel-leader-podcst   Shawn Murphy on the INC. website: http://www.inc.com/author/shawn-murphy Shawn’s Email: shawn@switchandshift.com

Questions from the episode Is there a way to look at your work as purpose and not so much transactional? What is your work climate? Notes Taken during the editing. [powerpress] Work can be a source of joy. Working for a paycheck is transactional. What is it that you’re doing that is meaningful to you and purposeful to others? Don’t focus on joy directly. You focus on the things that help that feeling emerge. Knowing your work has meaning usually brings joy. Meaningful work means you're getting something from the work being done. Meaning - you get the satisfaction of doing the work for yourself. You can find purpose in any kind of work. Find purpose in what you’re doing and move from the transaction. Company culture vs Company Climate Company Culture - How things get done around an organization. Also the basic assumptions how the organization works. Netflix - don’t have limits on vacation time and don’t have a policy on travel expenses. Assumption is made that people can be trusted. This is why culture is so challenging to change. Because, often they’re based on deeper seated assumptions on human behavior and interaction. Climate is what it’s like to work somewhere. (Hay group?) More influenced by someone’s immediate leader. How your leader shows up at work. 70% of the work experience is determined on your direct management experience. Great company culture is not a millennial thing, but a human thing. However, 71% of millennials cite meaningful work as a priority. Social Strategy  - Open, transparent - our brains are wired for connection and this is why social media is so popular. Create rich strong relationships within the workplace. To thrive in this social environment - where are they creating social connections and being transparent. Strengths - what energizes me and what I’m good at doing. Understanding strengths to make connections and open.

East African leaders have welcomed the swearing in of South Sudan's rebel leader Dr. Riek Machar hours after he returned to the capital Juba on Wednesday.
