Sudan's South: A Land of Diversity and Conflict
A Historical Divide
South Sudan, officially the Republic of South Sudan, is a landlocked country in East Africa. With a long and tumultuous history, South Sudan gained independence from Sudan on 9 July 2011, after a 2005 agreement that ended Africa's longest-running civil war.
Natural Wonders
Despite its historical challenges, South Sudan boasts a rich biodiversity. Lush savannas, vast swamplands, and dense rainforests are home to an array of animal and plant life.
Clashes and Conflict
In recent months, clashes along the Sudan-South Sudan border have resulted in dozens of deaths. The United Nations has confirmed the tragic loss of one of its peacekeepers in these conflicts.
