South Sudan Conflicts

The newest country in the world, SOUTH SUDAN gained its independence of July 2011 by breaking away from Sudan, formerly Africa's largest country. While new countries sometime have peaceful upbringings, that is not the case with South Sudan. While there are predictable difficulties that come with new countries finding their place among neighbors and the world, South Sudan faces a dilemma that goes beyond. The civil tensions and unrest have led some to express concern that an outright civil war might erupt in the capital, Juba, and even around the country if the situation still escalates.
