Description

South Sudan is the sector’s youngest independent country. Established in 2011 after two wars, South Sudan has since reverted to a state of devastating civil strife. This book provides a general history of the brand new country, from the coming of Turco-Egyptian explorers in Higher Nile, the turbulence of the Mahdist revolutionary period, the chaos of the ‘Scramble for Africa’, all the way through which the South was once prey to European and African adventurers and empire builders, to the Anglo-Egyptian colonial era. Special attention is paid to the period since Sudanese independence in 1956, when Southern disaffection grew into outright war, from the 1960s to 1972, and from 1983 till the Comprehensive Peace of 2005, and to the transition to South Sudan’s independence. The book concludes with coverage of events since then, which since December 2013 have assumed the nature of civil war, and with insights into what the longer term may hold.
