The International Crisis Group published a statement dated 7 March 2025 titled "South Sudan on the Precipice of Renewed Full-blown War."
Tensions are rising quickly between the forces that support President Salva Kiir and those who back Vice President Riek Machar. The civil war raging in neighboring Sudan is contributing to the tension in South Sudan, where violence is likely to escalate. South Sudan could easily slip back into full scale conflict and ethnic bloodletting.
