Deng his book is a timely study of an issue of vital importance to Southern TSudan at this critical juncture in the political, economic, social and cultural evolution of the country. It is my firm belief that every society is built on the foundations of a coherent system, whose logic is deeply rooted in its culture, and on the basis of which functional roles are defined and allocated to various categories of community members – men, women, children, elders and leaders. Culture, which provides the normative framework for the social order, is an embodiment of values that have evolved over a long period of time and enjoy wide acceptance and conformity among the members of a community. While cultures are dynamic and change with the imperatives of experience, they also provide predictable standards for prescriptive behaviour. The result is a normative system that is intrinsically conservative and reinforces conformity and continuity. Change then takes the form of discrete reforms, with occasional revolutionary reforms, prompted primarily by crises of grave magnitude. This is the challenge facing Southern Sudan today, having been devastated by half a century of intermittent wars. In traditional Southern Sudanese society, the overriding goal on which the social system was based was immortality through progeny and the continuation of the male line. The lineage and the clan are essentially male- oriented institutions. The value of women and children was seen largely vi vii Hope, Pain and Patience Foreword in terms of how they contributed to this overriding male-oriented goal. apart, and divorce (traditionally abhorred and exceedingly rare) became Immortality through procreation accounted for such institutions as the commonplace – often the result of desertion rather than legally and socially ‘ghost marriage’ by which a relative who dies before marrying has children established procedures. It is hard to put the puzzle of the traditional order begotten by a relative living with his ‘ghost wife’, and the ‘levirate,’ whereby back together. The search for a new logic to the social order has become a widow cohabits with a relative to bear children in the name of the dead imperative. husband.

These wars have shattered Southern societies, affected women, and transformed their place in society. In many instances, men, especially those who were uprooted as internally displaced persons or forced across international borders as refugees, lost their centre of gravity and fell by the wayside. Women, especially mothers, stepped in and assumed the role of the breadwinners and heads of households. With the breakdown of the old order and its stratifying logic, families began to fall viii ix Hope, Pain and Patience Acknowledgements extend warm thanks to Melissa Riggs for assisting in the editorial process and to Ferdinand von Habsburg and Lona Lowilla who offered useful feedback during the review stages.

  • Women's Informal Peace Efforts
    CMI BRIEF 2018:7 1 NUMBER 7 CMI BRIEF NOVEMBER 2018 Photo courtesy of Isis-WICCE Women’s informal peace efforts: Grassroots activism in South Sudan AUTHORS South Sudanese women have been grossly under-represented Helen Kezie-Nwoha in formal peace negotiations. However, they have been active Juliet Were in informal peacebuilding at the local level where peace means rebuilding society. Such informal peacebuilding is radically different to formal peace negotiations where male warlords and political leaders in new positions of power divide the spoils of war. This brief describes women’s informal peace work in South Sudan, and shows the extensive and valuable, but often unrecognized work that women’s organizations do. We also look at how women’s roles in formal processes are informed by women’s informal work. 2 CMI BRIEF 2018:7 Methodology In this study, we conducted individual and focus groups discussions with women activists from groups located in South Sudan and in Uganda. We completed 21 individual interviews, eight focus group discussions (with a total of 111 women) and two community meetings with 90 women in all. The interviews were conducted between June 2017 and July 2018. Fighting between different warring factions caused delays and made it difficult to access study locations. The long road to peace Women’s role in formal peace processes South Sudan gained independence from Sudan on 9 July 2011. Since then, South Sudan has been marred by internal conflicts.

  • Childbirth in South Sudan: Preferences, Practice and Perceptions in the Kapoetas Heather M
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH Childbirth in South Sudan: Preferences, practice and perceptions in the Kapoetas Heather M. Buesselera and James Yugib a American Refugee Committee International, Minneapolis, USA b American Refugee Committee International, Juba, South Sudan Correspondence to: Heather Buesseler [email protected] BACKGROUND: Focus group discussions (FGDs) were designed to better understand the community’s views and preferences around maternity care to design a communications campaign to increase facility deliveries and skilled attendance at birth in the three county catchment areas of Kapoeta Civil Hospital. METHODS: Twelve FGDs were conducted in Kapoeta South, Kapoeta East, and Kapoeta North counties. Four South Sudanese facilitators (two women, two men) were hired and trained to conduct sex-segregated FGDs. Each had 8-10 participants. Participants were adult women of reproductive age (18-49 years) and adult men (18+ years) married to women of reproductive age. RESULTS: The majority of participants’ most recent births took place at home, though most reportedly intended to give birth in a health facility and overwhelmingly desire a facility birth next time. Husbands and the couple’s mothers are the primary decision-makers about where a woman delivers. More men than women preferred home births, and they tend to have more negative opinions than women about health facility deliveries. Though participants acknowledge that health facilities can theoretically provide better care than home births, fear of surgical interventions, lack of privacy, and perceived poor quality of care remain barriers to facility deliveries. RECOMMENDATIONS: Interventions encouraging facility births should target the decision-makers—husbands and a couple’s mothers. Improvements in quality of care are needed in health facilities.

  • Becoming Christian: Personhood and Moral Cosmology in Acholi South
    Becoming Christian: Personhood and Moral Cosmology in Acholi South Sudan Ryan Joseph O’Byrne Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Department of Anthropology, University College London (UCL) September, 2016 1 DECLARATION I, Ryan Joseph O’Byrne, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where material has been derived from other sources I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Ryan Joseph O’Byrne, 21 September 2016 2 ABSTRACT This thesis examines contemporary entanglements between two cosmo-ontological systems within one African community. The first system is the indigenous cosmology of the Acholi community of Pajok, South Sudan; the other is the world religion of evangelical Protestantism. Christianity has been in the region around 100 years, and although the current religious field represents a significant shift from earlier compositions, the continuing effects of colonial and early missionary encounters have had significant impact. This thesis seeks to understand the cosmological transformations involved in all these encounters. This thesis provides the first in-depth account of South Sudanese Acholi – a group almost entirely absent from the ethnographic record. However, its largest contributions come through wider theoretical and ethnographic insights gained in attending to local Acholi cosmological, ontological, and experiential orientations. These contributions are: firstly, the connection of Melanesian ideas of agency and personhood to Africa, demonstrating not only the relational nature of Acholi personhood but an understanding of agency acknowledging nonhuman actors; secondly, a demonstration of the primarily relational nature of local personhood whereby Acholi and evangelical persons and relations are similarly structured; and thirdly, an argument that, in South Sudan, both systems are ultimately about how people organise the moral fabric of their society.

Following the comprehensive peace agreement in 2005, the government of South Sudan is rebuilding the country’s infrastructure. However, the post war South Sudan has some of the worst health indicators, lack of basic services, poor health infrastructure and severe shortage of skilled labor. The maternal mortality ratio for example is 2,054/100,000 live births, currently the highest in the world. Abortion complication leads among causes of admission at the gynecology units. This research contributes nursing knowledge on reproductive health among populations affected by war. The purpose was to explore the experiences of women with abortion complications in the post war South Sudan.

  • An Analysis of Pibor County, South Sudan from the Perspective of Displaced People
    Researching livelihoods and services affected by conflict Livelihoods, access to services and perceptions of governance: An analysis of Pibor county, South Sudan from the perspective of displaced people Working Paper 23 Martina Santschi, Leben Moro, Philip Dau, Rachel Gordon and Daniel Maxwell September 2014 About us Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium (SLRC) aims to generate a stronger evidence base on how people make a living, educate their children, deal with illness and access other basic services in conflict-affected situations (CAS). Providing better access to basic services, social protection and support to livelihoods matters for the human welfare of people affected by conflict, the achievement of development targets such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and international efforts at peace- and state-building. At the centre of SLRC’s research are three core themes, developed over the course of an intensive one- year inception phase: . State legitimacy: experiences, perceptions and expectations of the state and local governance in conflict-affected situations . State capacity: building effective states that deliver services and social protection in conflict- affected situations . Livelihood trajectories and economic activity under conflict The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is the lead organisation. SLRC partners include the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) in Sri Lanka, Feinstein International Center (FIC, Tufts University), the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU), the Sustainable Development Policy
