South Sudanese Civil War

The South Sudanese Civil War was a multi-sided civil war in South Sudan fought from 2013 to 2018 between government and opposition forces. The civil war caused rampant human rights abuses, including forced displacement, ethnic massacres, and killings of journalists by various parties. Since the war's end, South Sudan has been governed by a coalition formed by leaders of the former warring factions, Salva Kiir Mayardit and Riek Machar. The country continues to recover from the war while experiencing ongoing and systemic ethnic violence. Quotes The responsibility for this tragic state of affairs lies squarely on the shoulders of South Sudan’s leaders. The renewed fighting is horrendous and totally unacceptable. Rarely has a country squandered so much promise, so quickly. There must and will be accountability for the atrocities that have been committed in South Sudan since 2013. We could not have thrown our people into this meaningless war. The social fabric of South Sudan has been shattered.
