Sudan and South Sudan's Merging Conflicts

The International Crisis Group (ICG) published on 29 January 2015 a report titled "Sudan and South Sudan's Merging Conflicts."  It analyses the cross-border alliances that have formed and argues that strong measures are required by the UN Security Council as well as more strategic engagement by the wider international community in support of mediation efforts by the regional bodies, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, and the African Union.
