Sudan’s government is on the rise, but its South Sudan counterpart is in shambles after a failed peace deal. President Salva Kiir dismissed a key official from Vice President Riek Machar’s party, setting off a power struggle between the two leaders.
The collapse of the peace deal has plunged South Sudan into chaos, with government forces battling the Nuer White Army militia. The situation is further complicated by allegations that the SAF and RSF are backing opposing sides in the conflict.
South Sudan’s instability stems from its post-independence struggles since 2011. A mass exodus of refugees last year added to the country’s woes, straining its limited resources. With Kiir and Machar’s rivalry escalating, Western nations have closed their embassies due to concerns about increased violence.
