In 2011, after a lengthy struggle, South Sudan became the world's youngest independent nation. The area and its people had endured a brutal colonial conquest followed by a century of deliberate government neglect and racial oppression. Sudan's war of liberation - although victorious - resulted in many negative economic consequences, especially in rural areas dependent upon humanitarian aid. The violent aftermath of independence has resulted in looting, raids, and massacres in some regions. This book examines these problems and provides a revealing, multi-layered description of the current state of the country. Looking specifically at the Jonglei state, South Sudan's most mutinous hinterland, the author explains how it came to be at the heart of the journey toward state power and liberation and has exemplified South Sudan's history as a rebel threat to the Sudanese government. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, this book gives a sharply focused, fresh account of the country's continuing struggle.

A mere two years after achieving independence, South Sudan in 2013 descended into violent civil war, refuting US government claims that the country's succession was a major foreign policy success and would end endemic conflict. Worse was to follow when the international community declared famine in 2017. The author draws on his close but critical relationship with the rebel SPLM-IO leadership to reveal the true dynamics of the conflict, and exposes how the South Sudanese state was in crisis long before the outbreak of war. With insider knowledge of the histories and motivations of the rebellion's chief protagonists, the author argues considerable responsibility for the present state of South Sudan must be laid at the door of the US-led peace process. Linking the role of the international community with the country's opposition politics, this book is an essential guide to the causes and consequences of the violence that has engulfed one of Africa's most troubled nations,.
