The people of South Sudan have been, and continue to be, displaced by violence and the effects of climate change. Humanitarian organizations and faith-based groups are the ones that provide basic services of health, education and food where millions are at risk from food insecurity and even famine.
“Christianity was the force, or the glue, that kept all the different groups in the south together against the northern government.” The violence, he said, is compounded by a humanitarian situation that is extremely serious, with more than two-thirds of the population living in a severe humanitarian crisis.
The Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement and the Government of Sudan aimed to end the Second Sudanese Civil War, develop democratic governance, and share oil revenues. It also set a timetable for a Southern Sudanese independence referendum that became a reality in 2011.
“If we look at the history of the country when the rebels of the SPLM launched the civil War in 1983, their message was one of undoing historical wrongs to the people of South Sudan, the fact that the government in Khartoum oppressed them, did not invest at all in the economic development of the south,” he explained.
