Advocacy for South Sudan
What is Happening?
South Sudan achieved its independence in 2011. But most of its existence since has been marked by internal fighting, often along ethnic lines. Implementation of a peace agreement in 2018 has been slow. A third of the country’s population remains displaced, and nearly 70 percent of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance.
What Must Be Done?
Global donors must sustain much-needed humanitarian assistance, and the international community must press South Sudan’s leaders to implement the country’s 2018 peace agreement.
