South Sudan is the only country in the world that shares borders with two African nations, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Sudan. Like the United States, South Sudan was established by the British in the 19th century, and the two nations remained united until 2001, when the civil war broke out. Since 2005 South Sudan has been divided into three countries which have been ruled by a variety of tribal factions.
The problems that South Sudan is facing are numerous and varied. Some of the issues that plague South Sudan are: political instability, corruption, violence, poor infrastructure, and a heavy reliance on foreign aid. In 2010 it was revealed that about half of the country’s budget is funded by the United Nations, and corruption within the government is rampant.
South Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world, and is also one of the most violent. The people of South Sudan have been living in fear since 2005 when the civil war broke out. In the last year it has been estimated that there has been at least 70,000 killed in the country. According to the UN, at least 100,000 people have been injured. The violence can start at any time and goes on for years.
One of the many problems is that the government’s control is being undermined by rebel groups. In 2011 alone, the government lost control of at least half of the country. The rebels have been targeting civilians and security forces. The latest conflict started in 2013 when Sudan’s army mutinied and fought the rebels. President Salva Kiir then issued a call to arms, as did the rebels. The rebels then launched a campaign to take over key cities.
The government is trying to make the rebel groups pay for their crimes by threatening to disband them. Since the rebels are not a part of the government, they are not required to do this. However, this may not be the most effective way to ensure that such groups don’t get control of important areas.
The government has taken a more aggressive approach in these latest attacks. They are not only threatening to disband the rebel groups, they are also asking for ransom. The government is also offering large rewards for those who help capture the rebels.
The government has been making this clear for months now. However, instead of threatening to disband these groups, we’re seeing them offering rewards to be part of the capture. The same as the rebels, the government is also offering large rewards for those who help capture the rebels.
The latest wave of kidnappings involved a group of rebels that had kidnapped from several small villages in south-sudan. They were demanding large sums of money for their safe return. However, the government was offering large rewards to anyone who could help in the capture of the rebels. The rebels have been threatening to disband and have already received some ransom offers.
