In 2011, South Sudan was welcomed into the United Nations as the
world’s newest nation. Celebrations on the ground reflected
palpable relief after more than 20 years of violent struggle. With
unprecedented goodwill and optimism, the UN deployed 7,000 soldiers
and another 2,000 police and civilian peacekeepers to the country
to support its transition to independence. However, the mission
failed and within less than three years South Sudan was plunged
into a catastrophic civil war. Using firsthand accounts from senior
UN officials and referencing hitherto unseen UN documents, this
book explores the role of the peacekeeping mission in that failure.
It challenges the resignation with which many in academia and the
media greeted the underperformance of the peacekeepers. It suggests
that, even while under-resourced, they could have done much more to
prevent bloodshed in the new country and protected civilians from
the chaos of the first years of the conflict. The UN has thus far
avoided a thorough and public examination of its actions in South
Sudan. It has avoided accountability and instead rewarded failed
decision-makers. This book is an attempt to re-assess the legacy of
that mission and to detail how its many mistakes can and should be
avoided in the future.
