Whither South Sudan?

The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) posted on 7 October 2019 a commentary titled "South Sudan: Hope for the Best, Plan for the Worst" by David Deng, South Sudanese-American human rights lawyer, and Aly Verjee, USIP.

The authors do not predict that failure of the peace process in South Sudan is inevitable nor necessarily imminent. But there are signs the hopeful outcome they desire may not come to pass. They suggest two possible negative scenarios and what mignt be done to ameliorate them.
