South Sudan






South Sudan became independent on 8 July 2011. It is thus the newest country of the world. After a six year peace process started with signing of comprehensive Peace Agreement ( CPA) in 2005.

It is a landlocked country in east central Africa. Sudan and South Sudan , historically, was once part of Egypt under Muhammad Ali dynasty. Juba is its capital


After signing of CPA. the war with Sudan ended but intra ethnic conflict continued and it was on the verge of a civil war.Insurgency in Jonglei state led by General George Athor and david Yaw Yaw has a serious destabilising potential.

 Two small scale insurgencies in Jonglei State. Led by General George Athor and David Yaw Yaw, those two insurgencies, despite their apparent limited scale, had a serious destabilizing potential for the first elected government of South Sudan.
