Genocide Case In South Sudan

South Sudan became the world’s newest nation in July 2011. But in
December 2013, fighting between rebel militia and the government
escalated into a civil war.

Fighting in Jonglei, South Sudan has displaced tens of thousands
and cut off life-saving aid to more than 100,000 people

Soon after came a conflict between the north and south sides of
Sudan.

War between the North and South
sides of Sudan

The civil war between the north and south of Sudan resulted in the
deaths of an estimated two million people and displaced an
additional four million. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir’s forces
not only directly attacked the South but also manipulated tribal
tensions to create internal conflict that still persists today.

Finding a Resolution

On January 9, 2011, the people of South Sudan voted to secede
from Sudan and form a new nation. This vote was promised in the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which was signed in 2005

This ended the brutal 22 year civil war between the Sudanese
government and citizens in South Sudan.

Six months later, July 9th in 2011, the republic of South Sudan
became independent.

Pledge Awareness

“We must tell our children. But more than that, we must teach them.
Because remembrance without resolve is a hollow gesture.
Awareness without action changes nothing. In this sense, ‘never
again’ is a challenge to us all—to pause and to look within.” –
Barrack Obama
