10 Facts About the South Sudanese Civil War

In 2011, Sudan was independent from Sudan. Six years later, countries in the northeastern part of Africa, in 2015, first tried to maintain peace during the armed conflict with Sudan, and the subsequent intense civil war. These are the ten facts about the civil war in South Sudan, which is important to understand the conflict.

South Sudan is the youngest country in the world. After the referendum, it was declared independant from Sudan in 2011, 98% of them voted to leave the North.

After Salva Kiel Mayay Rudy accused Vice President Rick McCaugh on failure of the coup, the civil war in South Sudan began in December 2013.

Kiir is a member of Dinka, a majority ethnic group of the country. Vice President Mahal is the second largest group in Nua.

In 2016, the liberation army was faithful to the soldiers of Keel and Makar, and violence happened again.

In the civil war in South Sudan, at least 50,000 people lost their lives, more than 2 million people became refugees from other countries, and about 5 million South Sudanese people suffered serious food shortages.

As a result of the civil war, 2 million South Sudanese left the country. Ethiopia, Uganda and Sudan are major countries for refugees to escape.

The United Nations estimates that 6 million people (about 50% of South Sudan's population) will become serious food insecurity in 2017

In the country where South Sudan's civil war continues, 9 million people need emergency food aid

Countries in the northeastern part of Africa still have violent cases. Civil war in South Sudan has increased unemployment rate and famine rate. In addition, neighboring countries border to South Sudan, are holding overcrowded refugee camps, making it more difficult to provide assistance. However, non-profit organizations and global organizations, mainly UNHCR, have concluded conflicts in South Sudan and are striving to provide people with basic needs such as food and shelter.

The second Sudanese civil war was a conflict between the Sudanese central government and the Sudanese People's Liberation Army between 1983 and 2005. It was mainly the continuation of the first Sudanese civil war between 1955 and 1972. Beginning in the southern Sudan, the civil war spread to the Nuva Mountains and the Blue Nile River. It lasted 22 years and was one of the longest civil wars in history. In six years after the end of the war, the war led to the independence of South Sudan. About 2 million people died of war, famine, illness caused by the conflict. 4 million people in South Sudan were evacuated at least once (usually repeatedly) during the war. The number of deaths of civilians has been one of the highest in all wars since the Second World War and is characterized by massive infringement of human rights. Including slavery and mass slaughter

During the trip over the civil war in southern Sudan, I found the best example of polygamy and the connection between wars. About 40% of women in South Sudan are married to a large number of women, and the country is in perfect confusion. Polyglotting is not the only reason for the civil war, but it is obviously part of the story. As with most theaters, the reporting mechanism is not simple. I had the necessary visa and permission for a while, and an embarrassing official still insisted that I needed another one. Because I missed internal flight I had to waste valuable days in the capital city Juba until another boarding. Juba is not the easiest place to hang out. Drunk soldiers installed obstacles to rob the drivers at night, so it was difficult to go out after the dark. But beer is delicious.
