The Crisis in South Sudan
Conflict in South Sudan and the Challenges Ahead Lauren Ploch Blanchard Specialist in African Affairs September 22, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43344 Conflict in South Sudan and the Challenges Ahead Summary South Sudan, which separated from Sudan in 2011 after almost 40 years of civil war, was drawn into a devastating new conflict in late 2013, when a political dispute that overlapped with preexisting ethnic and political fault lines turned violent. Civilians have been routinely targeted in the conflict, often along ethnic lines, and the warring parties have been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The war and resulting humanitarian crisis have displaced more than 2.7 million people, including roughly 200,000 who are sheltering at U.N. peacekeeping bases in the country. Over 1 million South Sudanese have fled as refugees to neighboring countries. No reliable death count exists. U.N. agencies report that the humanitarian situation, already dire with over 40% of the population facing life-threatening hunger, is worsening, as continued conflict spurs a sharp increase in food prices. Famine may be on the horizon. Aid workers, among them hundreds of U.S. citizens, are increasingly under threat—South Sudan overtook Afghanistan as the country with the highest reported number of major attacks on humanitarians in 2015. At least 62 aid workers have been killed during the conflict, and U.N. experts warn that threats are increasing in scope and brutality. In August 2015, the international community welcomed a peace agreement signed by the warring parties, but it did not end the conflict.

South Sudan 2015 Human Rights Report
SOUTH SUDAN 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY South Sudan is a republic operating under a transitional constitution signed into law upon declaration of independence from Sudan in 2011. President Salva Kiir Mayardit, whose authority derives from his 2010 election as president of what was then the semiautonomous region of Southern Sudan within the Republic of Sudan, led the country. While the 2010 Sudan-wide elections did not wholly meet international standards, international observers believed Kiir’s election reflected the will of a large majority of Southern Sudanese. International observers considered the 2011 referendum on South Sudanese self-determination, in which 98 percent of voters chose to separate from Sudan, to be free and fair. President Kiir is a founding member of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) political party, the political wing of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA). Of the 27 ministries, only 21 had appointed ministers in charge, of which 19 are SPLM representatives. The bicameral legislature consists of 332 seats in the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), of which 296 were filled, and 50 seats in the Council of States. SPLM representatives controlled the vast majority of seats in the legislature. Through presidential decrees Kiir replaced eight of the 10 state governors elected since 2010. The constitution states that an election must be held within 60 days if an elected governor has been relieved by presidential decree. This has not happened. The legislature lacked independence, and the ruling party dominated it. Civilian authorities failed at times to maintain effective control over the security forces. In 2013 armed conflict between government and opposition forces began after violence erupted within the Presidential Guard Force (PG) of the SPLA, also known as the Tiger Division.

Flash Human Rights Report on the Escalation of Fighting in Greater Upper Nile
أﻷمم المتحدة UNITED NATIONS United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan ___________________________________________________________ Flash Human Rights Report on the Escalation of Fighting in Greater Upper Nile. April/May 2015 _______________________________________________ 29 June 2015 1 I. Introduction 1. Eighteen months after the start of conflict in December 2013, during which the scale and intensity of fighting has vacillated, fighting flared again in April 2015 and has been accompanied by allegations of serious human rights violations and abuses. Within days after the latest fighting started, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Human Rights Division (HRD) started receiving reports from civilians fleeing the fighting from rural areas in Unity and later from Upper Nile and northern Jonglei about alleged killings, rapes and abductions, along with the looting and destruction of civilian objects and humanitarian assets. 2. In accordance with its mandate to monitor, investigate and report on such allegations, HRD started interviewing civilians arriving at the protection of civilians (PoC) sites in Rubkona/Bentiu and gathering information from various partners operating in the areas. Parallel contacts were established with the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and government officials, in addition to the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army in Opposition (SPLA/M-IO), to gain access to the sites of alleged human right violations and seek further information about allegations. HRD has been able to gather information from various sources that confirm the upsurge in fighting in several parts of Unity, as well as in Upper Nile, painting a grim picture in the aftermath of the fighting of its impact on the civilian population in these areas.
