In July 2011 the Republic of South Sudan achieved
independence, concluding what had been Africa’s longest running civil war. The
process leading to independence was driven by the Sudan Peoples’ Liberation
Movement, a primarily Southern rebel force and political movement intent on
bringing about the reformed unity of the whole Sudan. A story of
transformation and of victory against the odds, this book reviews South Sudan’s
modern history as a contested region and assesses the political, social and security
dynamics that will shape its immediate future as Africa’s newest independent
state.
