South Sudan and National Unity

The Juba-based Sudd Institute published on 18 May 2017 a study titled "The State of the South Sudanese National Unity" by Abraham Awolich, Nhial Tiitmamer, and Augustino Ting Mayai, all with the Sudd Institute.

The study discusses the state of South Sudan's national unity. Some 75 percent of respondents suggested that South Sudan currently suffers the absence of national unity; this results from prevailing lack of a sense of common purpose, justice, and inclusive and functioning social contract between the state and the people.
