South Sudan, the worlds 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 Peoples Liberation Movement (SPLM), violence erupted in South Sudans capital, Juba, in December 2013. The conflict pitted President Salva Kiirs 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 Sudans 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.

Sarah Logan is a Policy Economist at the International Growth Centre (IGC) at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She is a qualified lawyer with significant policy experience in sub-Saharan Africa.
This book is a remarkable story of the South Sudanese struggle. It appears at a critical time in our history, as our political and social concerns are further mitigated by the eminent threat to our communities safety and survival. The present crisis of war, economic down-turns, human-rights violations, state fragility and internally displaced persons in the country has reached a critical point. The beauty of this book is that it also provides details of local solutions through the real intellectual experience and exposure of Kuol, Logan and their contributors. To those interested in the South Sudanese story I highly recommend this book.
