See text The outbreak has now been reported in 7 of the 10 states in Southern Sudan and new locations continue to appear almost daily. As not all areas report on the same day please see table of other locations to determine the exact reporting date for individual locations. In Kajo-Kegi, Pibor Area (Pibor; Lekongole; Gumruk), Bor, Terekeka and Malakal stool specimens have tested positive for Vibrio cholerae Inaba (tests done at AMREF in Kenya). In Mongella no cases have been reported since 28-02 and laboratory specimens sent at that time were negative for Vibrio cholerae. In Torit the outbreak also seems to have peaked and the number of daily cases is now declining. In Lohutok, an area northeast of Torit where initial reports were of >700 cases and 40 deaths, MedAir has established a CTC and in the 14 days on ground have reported treating 344 cases with 2 deaths. Laboratory specimens are pending from this location. Overall, the situation in Yei is stable and improving daily with the last report received as of 23 March indicating the outbreak has been contained and only sporadic cases are appearing in town. The outbreak in Yei was declared officially over by the Undersecretary of Health of the GoSS, Dr. Majok Yak on 14-03- 06. However from 18 to 23 March 25 new cases were reported, 22 more than the previous week. The official number of total cases and deaths is 1,819 with 54 deaths for a 2.97% CFR as of 23-03-06. Of concern is the waning of intensity of watsan interventions and the general insecurity in the outlaying areas and roads (LRA) with the emergence of new cases especially in the peripheral villages. The situation in Juba is improving as the number of cases has consistently decreased daily over the past three weeks. However the situation will continue to be followed closely as the full rainy season has not yet arrived. Of concern is the waning of intensity of watsan interventions with no chlorination being currently done. On March 21 eleven samples of water taken from different settings have shown four of them polluted. The reports of increasing locations in the states (EES & Jonglei State) neighboring Juba (CES) with increasing numbers of cases and deaths of laboratory confirmed (Vibrio cholerae Inaba) acute watery diarrhoea continues to pose a serious challenge to the ongoing response efforts. The spread by road from Juba to the east (in Torit area) continues at present to be significant focus area with cases in Torit town itself and to the villages to the northeast of Torit town totally now over 1300. In addition on 17-03- 06 reports were received that indicate there are cases appearing in Ikotos which is on the road heading 1 south to the border with Uganda. This location continues to report more cases and supplies are urgently needed. In Malakal in Upper Nile State after the importation of the index case on a barge from Bor (01-Mar) the number of cases of AWD reported continues to increase daily and as of 25-03-06 has reached 573 cases with 11 deaths (CFR= 1.92%). Nearby locations outside of Malakal town which have reported cases are also increasing and include the towns of Nyilwak, Dolieb Hill, Wilnyang, Atar, Nasir and Melut. In Unity State suspicious cases in Leer are under investigation. Situation in Juba town The reported cases of acute watery diarrhoea, in Juba, progressively increased after the first index case was reported on 6 February 2006 (Figure-2). After 23 February 2006 (about 2.5 weeks after the onset of the outbreak), the number of cases reported daily started to decline in spite of the improvement in the daily reporting system and number of surveillance sites. This trend in declining cases has continued to the current week when the rate of decline has slowed and remains below 20 new cases / day for the last two days. After a few high spikes at the very beginning of this outbreak, the daily case fatality rate of AWD in Juba gradually declined to below 2% however slight daily fluctuation continues to occur. Investigations have been carried out on days when the case fatality rate is high and on most days it appears that the death cases involve persons arriving at the treatment facility in late stage of disease or persons that have died in the community. The overall case fatality rate from AWD in Juba now remains below 2%. Stool specimens obtained in Juba from Lologo camp on 03-03-06 continued to be positive (3 of 5 specimens obtained) for Vibrio cholerae Inaba with the same sensitivity pattern as the original isolates, i.e. sensitive to tetracycline and resistant to chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, cotrimoxazole and erythromycin. The rapid test (SMART) is being utilized on patients now presenting with non-classical cholera symptoms and a high percentage, 66.6% (6/9), are still positive for cholera. In Figure 1 the number of cases in Juba per week is graphed and in figure 2 the number of cases, deaths and CFR is plotted per day.

In total since the first suspected case appeared on 15-02 there have been 37 cases with 11 deaths (these cases have not been added to Juba statistics). There is only one CHW for both villages and persons are using home-made ORS for treatment. A team from SMoH-CES was mobilized and travelled to the location from 03-06 March 2006. At the time of the visit there were no “new cases” seen and confirmation that suspected cases were AWD was not possible and review of records indicated perhaps the cases and deaths were more likely to be malaria. • Lui (West Equatoria State): On 27-02-06 Samaritans Purse, an NGO partner supporting the Lui hospital reported 2 cases of AWD. No deaths occurred and no further cases have been reported as of 23-03. • Bor (Jonglei State): 11 cases of Acute Watery Diarrhea from 16-02 to 22-02 with 1 death – stool specimens sent 23-02-06 (AMREF-Nbo) are positive for Vibrio cholerae. MSF-B team has agreed with authorities that MSF-B will upgrade hospital services in Bor while Johanniter will attend to the PHC services. A report received from UNMIS on 07-03 indicated that from 16-02 to 28-02 there were a total of 31 cases of AWD in Bor with 1 death. A report received on 09-03 indicated the case load had increased to 72 with 12 new admissions in the preceding 24 hrs. MSF-B opened the CTC in Bor on 07-03-06 and are now providing accurate data.

  • The Nasty War: Organised Violence During the Anya-Nya Insurgency in South Sudan, –*
    Journal of African History, . (), pp. –. © Cambridge University Press doi:./S THE NASTY WAR: ORGANISED VIOLENCE DURING THE ANYA-NYA INSURGENCY IN SOUTH SUDAN, –* ØYSTEIN H. ROLANDSEN Peace Research Institute Oslo NICKI KINDERSLEY Cambridge University Abstract In 1963, unrest in Sudan’s three southern provinces (today’s South Sudan) escalated into a civil war between the government and the Anya-Nya rebellion. The subsequent eight years of violence has hitherto largely escaped scrutiny from academic researchers and has remained a subject of popular imagination and politicised narratives. This article demon- strates how this history can be explored with greater nuance, thereby establishing a local history of a postcolonial civil war. Focusing on the garrison town of Torit, our research reveals a localised and personalised rebellion, made up of a constellation of parochial armed groups. This new history also demonstrates how these parties built upon experiences from imperial conquest and colonial rule when entrenching violent wartime practices such as mass dis- placement and encampment, the raising of local militias and intelligence networks, and the deliberate starvation of civilians — all common methods in subsequent wars. Key Words South Sudan, governance, civil war, rebellion, counter-insurgency, organised violence. INTRODUCTION In September , government security forces in the South Sudanese town of Torit discov- ered that a man named Sakrana, who was suffering from leprosy (Hansen’s disease), was gathering intelligence for the Anya-Nya rebels, and that he was carrying with him a large quantity of salt and other supplies. He came from the leprosy colony of Ido, five * This has been a long-term project, and the authors have incurred debts from many generous individuals, none of whom bear any responsibility for any shortcomings of this article.

The most recent VAS represents IOM’s largest effort to date and after consultations with the Government of South Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC), UN agencies, and state-level partners, 30 priority counties were identified for the assessment. These comprise of 871 bomas, 197 payams, 468 health facilities, and 1,277 primary schools. There was a particular emphasis on assessing payams outside state capitals, where comparatively fewer comprehensive assessments have been carried out. IOM conducted the VAS in priority counties that represent an estimated 72% of the returnee population. Methodology The data presented are the results of four integrated questionnaires. At the boma level, a Boma Questionnaire gathered data in relation to basic services and socioeconomic conditions from boma committees, composed of the boma chief, as well as representatives of the youth, women, and returnees. In bomas where the Boma Questionnaire was being administered, separate Health and Education Technical Questionnaires were also distributed to healthcare workers and education administrators in order to capture specific data on the level of capacity and structure of public services provided to the boma.
