South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, has experienced a
rocky start to its life as an independent nation. Less than three
years after gaining independence in 2011 following a violent
liberation war, the country slid back into conflict. In the wake of
infighting within the ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Movement
(SPLM), violence erupted in South Sudan’s capital, Juba, in
December 2013. The conflict pitted President Salva Kiir’s
predominantly Dinka presidential guard against Nuer fighters loyal
to the former Vice President Riek Machar. As fighting spread across
the country, it has taken on an increasingly ethnic nature.
Ceasefires have been agreed, but there have been repeated
violations by all sides. Today the conflict continues unabated and
the humanitarian situation grows ever more urgent. This book
analyses the crisis and some of its contributing factors. The
contributors have worked on South Sudan for a number of years and
bring a wealth of knowledge and different perspectives to this
discussion. Providing the most comprehensive analysis yet of South
Sudan’s social and political history, post-independence
governance systems and the current challenges for development, this
book will be essential reading for all those interested in the
continuing struggle for peace in South Sudan.
