    AFRIKA FOCUS-Volume 21, Nr. 2, 2008-pp. 53-70 Governance, violence and the struggle for economic regulation in South Sudan: the case of Budi County (Eastern Equatoria) Anne Walraet Department ofThird World Studies, Ghent University, Belgium This article analyses how Budi County in Eastern Equatoria State (South Sudan) was governed dur­ ing the 1990s and up to mid-2007. Because its capital Chukudum was the SPLM/A headquarters almost throughout that period, it provides us with an interesting case from which to explore how the SPLM/A governed during the war and how this impacts on the post-war peace. One obser­ vation is that the war, besides a period of devastation and human suffering, was also a time of economic opportunities and social differentiation. For that reason this article will also explore livestock trade as a new mode of wealth appropriation and the changing nature of cattle raid­ ing, and how this interferes with the struggle for regulatory power and governable "spaces". This means that we comprehend the economy as a political terrain. At the same time we leave room for sociological perspectives, to complement the more restricted "competition for resources and gains" approach to conflict and violence. The article is written in three sections. In the first section we briefly clarify why in 1999 there was an uprising in Budi County against SPLM/ A rule and why it engendered massive local support. In the second section we examine one of the most destructive manifestations ofviolence that affect Budi county: cattle raiding. We look at it from a perspective that has been under-researched in the field: that of trans-border trade.

    Responding to Violence in Ikotos County, South Sudan: Government and Local Efforts to Restore Order By Clement Ochan Children in Ikotos, South Sudan, using spent cartridges as toys. Credit: Clement Ochan Summary The study sought to document and analyze community responses to recent violence and local efforts to bring about relative security in Ikotos County, Eastern Equatoria, South Sudan. It set out to: • document and analyze the range of causes and consequences of violence in the area • understand the gender and generational aspects of the violence and its consequences • explore mechanisms to bring about security • explore the role of civilian groups—including church leaders, men, women, youths, children and elders—in pressing for new gun control laws • assess the impact of restrictions on weapons imposed in 2004 • understand the short- and long-term future of the security improvement program in Ikotos County. The field work for the study was conducted between May and August 2006. Clement Ochan, the lead researcher, was assisted by Ladu Tobias. Ochan drew upon five years of work experience in the area to help inform the analysis and locate key informants. Relevant information from 2005 field interviews in the same area was used where appropriate. The team also used secondary data to help provide context and flesh out their findings. The team mainly relied on key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation for data collection. Data was collected primarily in Ikotos town. All group discussions were held in the town or the workplaces of consulted organisations. Where possible, the team used a digital voice recorder to capture the interviews and discussions.
