Scenarios for Governance in South Sudan

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) published in January 2016 a study titled "Scenarios for South Sudan in 2020: Peace: The Only Thing Worth Fighting For" by Jair van der Lijn, a Dutch national and senior researcher at SIPRI.

The five scenarios described in this report are intended to show how South Sudan might look in 2020.  If the conflicting parties implement the 2015 peace agreement, Sudan may slowly return to a positive future.  If the peace agreement does not hold, the result may be devastation and/or repression.
