The 22 June talks between the South Sudan government and rebel leaders aimed at ending the civil war, which has been ongoing for five years, failed. South Sudan’s civil war, which broke out just two years after the country won independence from Sudan, has continued despite multiple attempts at peace deals. Tens of thousands of people have died and millions have fled to create Africa’s largest refugee crisis since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Millions of others still in the counry are near famine, while the warring sides have been blamed for obstructing or slowing the delivery of desperately needed aid. Implications? The civil war will continue. References: AP News | NPR | NY Times | Washington Post
