half a century, a 5th wall with a powerful north. the population of south don voted to secede by an overwhelming majority. 99 percent one favor, but the birth of the youngest nation came was a burden. many of these learners in on dollars suffering. and that would have been men in to live and it was done, you know, own country. but the we have to we will not get us to use later. civil war broke out again, divide, fueling the conflict president. so the key from the majority didn't sector. why the president leak much from the newer peace agreements between the 2 sides came and went almost 400000 people died finally in 2018,

kia and agreeing to form another unity government in 2020. they were sworn in as president and vice president. it will be our responsibility to restore people's lives and to inspire them once again to believe in the department of ours who done yet widespread corruption and violence has hampered efforts to build the functioning country self. so don is poor guy with nature resources. one 3rd of the population is displaced 60 percent dependent on food aid ramp inflation and natural catastrophes make the situation worse. by 10 years on, people are still yearning. we does need to change these the, the, all the lead does are and the but i think the taking the bus please. and give

that answer to the people who have the situation and they hope for the center. you can take need of the senses after 10 years of independence. so saddam is still very much dependent on outside. tell. this little to celebrate in zuba from holland is now joined by nicholas hayes them . he's the head of the united nations mission to south sudan and miss hello say welcome to d, w. use africa. now 10 years ago there was great optimism about the future of south sedan. fast forward to today, have those hoops been fulfilled? know, i think quite frankly, most sudanese would accept that there that they hopes of what independence would bring had not been achieved. i think the function of this an

adverse or is really to remind people of those ideals. and to put back on the agenda, the hopes that they had for work independence might to live in for sausage and needs 10 years or so. have been amy achievements over the last decade. well, i think, you know, given the challenge to john started as a with what should i say change late. they had no institutions very little rogue has been as some progress in standing at the stage. i think most people would say not as much progress as they would have hopeful, but they also would have to take on board it shows to john has gone through to civil wars in the 10 year period in the printing. so very doesn't mind. what is the real life for someone in south sedan? we like sink hasn't and much of this area they would be

a difference between someone in an urban area, somebody in a rural area. the particular concern that we have is the international community is the extent of food insecurity across the country. the very high percentage sudanese who fresh, who faced the food insecurity to the real prospect of some of the causes of their natural and change that is being flooding that way. also some of the causes of the current food insecurity or manage people have not been able to plant because they had their lives had been disrupted by conflict. and the planting season has come and gone with not people plunging. yeah. now there's been a so called revitalized piece agreement in place for nearly 3 years now. is that making any difference?

i think it has made a difference. we have seen a reduction in the levels of violence, please politically inspired violence. but we've also nurtured an increase in what is often called into community violence, which is largely taken up to into community violence is more reflection of communal tensions, but also the poverty and the economic conditions. and just a don very often centered around the septic capital and the perpetration of revenge, revenge attacks. so we are trying to make a difference in the picture is our peacekeepers. but also through gauging elders and representatives of the communities in deliberating and agreeing

arrangements by which communities can live together other than in the presence of armed police. so that you took off as a special representative this year was the main change you hope to achieve for the people of south saddam during your time. what we would like to do to support the sharpshooter nice people to make progress in the transition down the transitional pathway as it were, that they have agreed to follow. and that involves some quite significant tips they would have to accomplish, including the green one, a new constitution that is the arrangements by which they can live together in peace making progress in the arrangement of the 1st democratic connections in the country. and more generally in building the institutions necessary for state to be a young democracy. and to begin the development trajectory,
