Description

In July 2011, South Sudan was once granted independence and was the sector’s newest country. Yet just two-and-a-half years after this momentous decision, the rustic was once within the grips of renewed civil war and political strife. Hilde F. Johnson served as Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Mission within the Republic of South Sudan from July 2011 until July 2014. As such, she was once witness to the various challenges which the rustic faced as it struggled to regulate to its new autonomous state. On this book, she provides an unparalleled insider’s account of South Sudan’s descent from the ecstatic celebrations of July 2011 to the outbreak of the disastrous conflict in December 2013 and the early, bloody phase of the fighting. Johnson’s frequent personal and private contacts on the absolute best levels of government, accompanied by her deep knowledge of the rustic and its history, make this a unique eyewitness account of the turbulent first three years of the sector’s newest―and yet most fragile― country.
