South Sudan conflict

The conflict in South Sudan began in 2013, mainly due to political power struggles between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar. These tensions escalated into violence along ethnic lines, causing widespread fighting, displacement, and humanitarian crises. Root causes include competition for resources, marginalization, and weak governance. Despite peace agreements, sporadic outbreaks of violence persist, impairing development and causing suffering for millions. The conflict is complex, involving political, ethnic, and economic factors, and ongoing efforts aim to establish stability and peace.
