south sudan became independent him years ago. but jubilation quickly gave way to war, famine and political infighting. so what's the future for the world's youngest nation? can there be peace? this is inside story. ah, ah, ah. hello and welcome to the program. i'm hammered. jim john, south sedans, 1st president salva kia promised a new beginning of tolerance, love, and unity. 10 years ago, the world's newest nation had gained independence after decades of war with the

rest of sudan. but the excitement was soon replaced by a civil war of its own. fragile, p steals, and humanitarian crises. solve the cure still leaves the nation a decade on. but he's been locked in a power. struggle with the 1st vice president react much, are many say the rivalry has hindered south to dance development, particularly relating to the countries. vast oil reserves. speaking at a ceremony to mark independence here, urged people to embrace peace. on my part, i assure you that i will not return you will that would again lead on wet together to recover the last decade and put our country back to the path of development in this new ticket 400000 people died in the civil war after independence,

millions are still displaced, and half the population urgently need aid, despite foreign donations, worth hundreds of millions of dollars her own, we tossed the reports from the capital java. john cox, it is people voting overwhelmingly to the seed from said on 10 years ago wasn't a mistake. it's what happened to south to don afterwards that broke him the war in 2013. when another round of fighting in 2016 has left him traumatized. it will not only do as had been we had our collect, my brother. we get even during this douglas, my brother, this new era of kill. when it did repeat itself,

it was audible. things are now relatively calm. i like previous t steals that, failed. some people hope the unity government set up last will hold it for former rebel lee, the react. michelle fornia, the 1st vice president along with for ever vice president, president salva kit and michelle are once again trying to work together and to the elections in 2023 politicians. hope this transitional period encourages refugees and internally displaced people to return to their homes. thousands of people live here and this is just one of many camp across out the door. there's no running water and not enough food, meaning fat and you say they don't know how long they going to be and going home for several of them is not an option because live insecurity in some parts of the country. after that flood drought and into communal violence. children born often the payments have never known peace aid was to say the mediterranean crisis is listening. these are some of our greatest concern. certainly there's

a food insecurity. crisis in south sudan, 1400000 children are going to be nourished this year, the highest number in years. the key parts of the peace agreement are still to be implemented. these include established a unified national army, made of opposition and government forces. the people of south done telling their leadership that look, we tired of war, nobody once will any more. if there are some feel political leaders who think that they would go and mobilize some of our citizens so that they cause a fight because they want to be leaders of this country. i don't think they will get the audience from the public. the new coalition government is trying to rebuild, focusing on various developmental and infrastructure projects. as new buildings go up in some parts of the country, united a bitterly divided nation building trust and making sure it's safe enough for everyone affected by conflict to return home is going to be much more difficult.

how to talk to you, but ah, all right, let's bring our guests in, juba, jeffrey duque, security analyst, and director of the south sudan action network on small arms. a network against armed violence. in i. roby, near go. toot poor south sudan researcher for human rights watch, and also in juba. james o cook conflict management specialist and senior research fellow at the center for strategic and policy studies, a warm welcome to you all here go, let me start with you today. there was so much excitement in south sudan when it became an independent state. how did things so quickly go from that initial mood of euphoria to there being a civil war breaking out? you know, just a couple of years later, we have to understand that felt don gord handed a good deal and also an independent you had a new that wouldn't be dose of various groups and

previously but it could be there's also been some and i got point the person that was tearing the she had also possibly dr. jim. so from the beginning, you had a very shaky political foundation for the country. you also have to understand that the 2010 election that preceded independence had also led to insurgency. where can you go from one electoral procedures to weapons against and also the 2005 piece deal that peer the way for research as well as independence. also do not address 2nd, including the question around reconciliation. how do you reconcile only ethnic groups, but also the code leaders who are going to unite it also do not address the issue around accountability. how do you address the legacy of the war of success?

it's denise governments, as well as violence and abuses, had been completed by various sounds against me. and so given that and that you had an international community ego, that was good to put together government and the state without addressing the very issues around accountability, the building of institutions, concrete institutions that can be able to pull it up on the part. so some of the issues that like, you know, that maybe easy a lapse in december 2000. jeffrey from your point of view were expectations, especially on the part of the international community where they just to high at the get go. and were there signs that were obvious early on that these deep seated issues just weren't being properly addressed?

i would like to talk more about the expectation of south sydney's instead of international community. and i do not say this because of the news has been unrealistic in that the country has a lot of potential. ready in terms of the resources both. busy mineral oil and human resources to build a viable state. debt is very, very huge. and i can tell you know that faster than if disappointed death, frustrated and down hoops held hostage. james, what are some of the biggest challenges that south sudan faces today? we have 3 major challenges, one on one of these issues, charlie. and these are being missing from the very time of the ration of dependence

. the political leaders in the country of it much into, into our struggle. and they believe in military power, more 1000000 in the country to attain violence, and these violent development progress in the country. so that's the 1st job in the 2nd. charlene is institution. those leaders failed to give you that money, public affairs in the country because these weekend those leaders are always run machinery of the government on personal basis and on connection with whoever they would like to be in use the

country or the 3rd, the 3rd problem, but we have is the, is the human capacity so, so, so then, so, so that is less than $1.00 to $5.00, but then how to utilize them and then into that i edition in the public office. if it has been a problem and you can put it in private and, and even isn't this connection as been the train of about pointing? i think look right into the cause. the problem will be wrong in the right office, but the government, so these 3 s t u timing is that they have 15000 and they have to the level of violence. but we have not because the service is more restricted by both the braces,

the community around more the go. i want to talk for a moment about the scale of human suffering and south sudan caused by the humanitarian crises there. of course, you have the world food program that has said that south sudan phases its worst hunger crisis. its most extreme levels of food insecurity since independence that around 60 percent of the population are enduring, severe shortages, then you have unicef. they have warned that a record 4500000 children, south sudan, that's 2 out of 3 children in the country are in desperate need of humanitarian support. what needs to happen in order to start getting much needed aid to people who are suffering so much? you know, 1st of all, all the speakers that you pointed to why depressing could like both james and jeffrey have said this country started with so much promise only to fall by the way side. and so what has one of the 100 crises and likely funding the country

is facing now? is mostly a result of this man made crises. it is the results of conflict year the what seems to be kids to feed at home because of violence or the stress of violence and is also the result of over the last 2 years, an escalation of what a localized violence into no violence that is endorsed by reach from the military axes in shortly makes possible not a bargain and also works. and so populations in this part of the country has acute mother attrition and acute calmer. and so it does also the primary prices that has been sledging and all be self conscious to franchises. but you know, the government has, over the last couple years, been unable to invest in faster in infrastructure. you know,

we go when you go across the country, even a di, you'll see that there's very limited public networks. the education sector is plagued by lack of a passage and adequate access to education for several children around the country . much of much of service provision, much of you know, would security and other critical issues like health care is less in the hands of humanitarian agencies. and so soft that needs to break away from the cycle aid and humanitarian dependency. and that can be done by funneling all the wealth and resources that the country has into and during this basic services are made available to ordinary citizens. but also. ringback even before, while that is being worked on, the government has to ensure an end to obstruction of humanitarian aid. and then

we'll talk again, chris and taking action when individuals that attack a operators. so no, so 500 over 120120 workers killed since the construct started in 2000 to 2 and most of the people are out to denise denise who are sacrificing their lives to go to the front lines to actually prove to actually be able to support and help their fellow citizens. so a lot needs to happen. but, but it's about financing, the guns, the government, ensuring that's why it comes to an end. and that will be all position national front and the government and the top against us. to be in the, in the south part of the country, but also in shortly wire up and other cases the government needs to take concrete action on political military actors. what actually wellings,

the local violence experience jeffrey in the go there was talking at one point about the need to try to funnel oil wealth, you know, to the people to make sure that each monetary and crises are dealt with. of course, we know the child dan relies on crude sales for revenue that it's currently experiencing a rapid decline in oil output for a country that is so rich in oil. why are the people of south to then still not really seen the benefit of that? well, i think that is mainly because of the much between the resources and needs of the citizens. the government can seek and hear the biographies of citizens that obviously all out that but the children not to you know, allocate the need of resources to the needs of citizens. for example,

i will say that the health sector for the to do you know, to family and that is similar to the education sector and you see enormous budget allocation to the security effect. yet you cannot see that huge allocation trust making into the security and that, you know, the health of the developer money doesn't make sense in the fashion of expenditure, but also related to the exploration of resources as may be done in the shadows. like there's no clear transparency to truck. how much as tough to that is actually early in from the fellow it's resources and where this money is going. and the news about corruption is not new. now, there's a culture of unity result is, you know,

coming from oil and minerals are going into the dark perry pockets of individuals. yet there is nothing, nothing being done, you know, to stop. that's the flow of the national resources into individual pockets. we have the anti corruption commission, which illustrates the existence of if you know the vice corruption that is not function. he said that the anti put up some commission for leslie was created to exist rather than to function. so unless the government changes its attitude to let the government officials new public resources and get away with it, we'll see, you know, was massages, continue to go to the point where the people who have bankruptcy met. james,

there are observers and analysts who say that foreign donors need to revise their approach to aid and that they need to start holding south student these leaders accountable. how likely is that to happen? yeah, it can up in it need don't courage from. they don't know, these donors have been supporting the government, but does not care for the liberty or a long time. right from independence united in 2011. there are a lot of unity in the public institution, but us management. i nonsense and been donors. i'm not thinking attention on but they get putting money to house to done and also they kept sending their own money just to come on and,

and take care of those fun and a no much attention being paid to a government institution including the but get it how do they design that? but it's their plans on the basis of a, with the but if the but your lines are, are design and even of the budget to be approved by the parliament. is it followed or it is not for an almighty to the service? i think the mike is development and i think level then mike, you ready sort of development all these pushing i've not been and then don't. those will be bringing money, but not, not paying attention to me any. whether these my me are you to

enhancing the capacity of, of folks with them. they can always say one to one phone. it's on this to me like there is of the nation, but i think and they didn't depend a long time ago. so i've been that far. no, but tension from doing whatever they brings. and they think that if he's a young country and there's no might say about it, let's, let's compromise those leaders until you know, they learn to do better. but then years on the line, those leaders, i've never learned anything yet. i know, listen, they are learning, they keep it, you know, they seem to go monday then of course, they know somebody will come and pick a nationwide this one's ability to pick and why they

don't. why am they? there are no waiting source. and this is an acceptable. 1 as far as the responsibility of a government assisting point, maybe to make sure that the service i believe that is not happening is they don't as a human, it's not in use that are not part of the world. for example, the ministry of what we call the ends on moving the all the met then brought to the government does not have any had any if you all don't as well. they don't, as i think they get that taken care of. and it's not, but not many and they miss it for those donors. i think that is, i think the dorm is not the 6, the employees, they have abundant teachers. they are not paying them. they are not paying them for them to run is like but and they don't. those are the most taking care of our

school and the government funded that it's community for james. i'm sorry, james, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but we're starting to run out of time. now go can i ask you to talk a little bit about the kind of toll that the trauma caused by the civil war has taken on civilians in south sudan. the civil war was extremely brutal. it took a heretic toll. i was marked by, you know, rapes killings, child soldier recruitment. what kind of tool has it taken on everybody? and also where things stand when it comes to the establishment of accountability mechanisms like perhaps a war crimes court. right. i mean, i think, you know, when we talk about the civil war in the past, and you may have been ended by the 2018 piece deal, but it's a group of cautions and its consequences. i still thought even to the and so all

sides, the government and i like mission your all of your position groups. all of them cannot claim you know, sense of what has happened to all sides killed to be committed a great ducted to billions and also recruit children and youth children. so reckoning from the can of the abuses have been committed if something better than watson's so that we don't have to have another conversation about war reaching out because it would cost if we're not addressed. and so now the government has to ensure accountability for all this broad violations in boston. the piece deal that they have find the cause of them to establish a war, crime in partnership with africa as a hybrid. now in january, the government agreed to establish the war crimes and the commission and truth reconciliation as well as the recreation board. and now they,

yes to follow through, along with african, you know, make this, this caught, you know, chapter 5 piece deal is one of those chapters that collect the wheels of the thoughts in these people. when you look at the entirety of the, you know, this, this segment of the piece is quite important. but even beyond that, the government needs to ensure reliable incredible institution with justice. the justice factor in one of the sectors has been under invested in under prioritized insults and so along with creating this ensure in this war crimes come to a reality that has to be in the judiciary to ensure its independence to ensure enough budget to allow it to build its own capacity. all right, we have run out of time, so we're going to have to leave the conversation there. thank you so much. all of our guests, jeffrey duque, now go to poor and james cook and thank you to for watching. you can see this and

will just 0. great. when i hello there. i'm the star today in the hall at the top stories here on our 0. have a government is also united states and the united nations to send troops to help stabilize the country. after the assassination of president, driven on ways he was killed in his home on wednesday by a heavily on hit squad, near apollo, as monitoring developments from next to the fact that there are so many international actors, almost ensures that this is going to be a continuously developing story of the last that we've heard from the columbia.
