It covers an area of 38,837 sq km (14,995 sq mi) and is inhabited predominantly by two ethnic groups – the Nuer and the Dinka.

Ottawa Article 7 on South Sudan Monday, January-27-14 Developments in South Sudan Conflict: Unity and Upper Nile and possibility of additional 60,000 White Army Our Articles 1 to 3 and 5 & 6 were situation analysis of the conflict in South Sudan. Our article 4 (A) and (B) were the first of our series on “Who is Who”. This article (7) deals with analysis of the military landscape in Unity and Upper Nile and analysis the situation in Jonglei State if the 6 generals who escaped Juba can make it to Fangak. The account below will demonstrate that the SPLA/Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS) were in continuous war within South Sudan since 2005 to date. The war depleted and fatigues the SPLA.
