South Sudan, which split from Sudan in 2011 after decades of conflict, has been mired in civil war following political troubles between President Salva Kiir, a Dinka and his formers deputy Riek Machar, a Nuer. The country is the world’s newest nation but ethnic cleansing and continuing atrocities have shattered it since fighting erupted in 2013. It is estimated that half the population of the country will be dead or displaced by the fourth anniversary of the war, in December 2017. The United Nations has declared that one hundred thousands people are starving and about a million South Sudanese face the risk of famine. Civilians are paying the highest price of the conflict as both the army and various rebels groups are accused of unimpeded murder, torture and rape.
