South Sudan, officially the
Republic of South Sudan, is a landlocked country in northeastern
Africa that gained its independence from
Sudan in
2011. Its current capital is Juba, which is also its largest city. It is planned that the capital city will be changed to the more centrally located
Ramciel in the future. South Sudan is bordered by the
Republic of the Sudan to the north,
Ethiopia to the east,
Kenya to the southeast,
Uganda to the south, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo to the southwest, and the
Central African Republic to the west. It includes the vast swamp region of the
Sudd, formed by the
White Nile and known locally as the
Bahr al Jabal.
The territories of modern South Sudan and the Republic of the Sudan were occupied by
Egypt under the
Muhammad Ali Dynasty, and later governed as an Anglo-Egyptian condominium until
Sudanese independence was achieved in
1956.
Following the
First Sudanese Civil War, the
Southern Sudan Autonomous Region was formed in
1972 and lasted until
1983. A second
Sudanese civil war soon developed and ended with the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement of
2005.
Later that year, southern autonomy was restored when an
Autonomous Government of Southern Sudan was formed.
South Sudan became an independent state on 9 July 2011, following a referendum that passed with 98.83% of the vote. It is a
United Nations member state, a member state of the
African Union, and a member state of the
Intergovernmental Authority on Development. In July
2012, South Sudan signed the
Geneva Conventions. South Sudan has suffered internal conflict since its independence.
The
Nilotic people of South Sudan—the
Acholi,
Anyuak,
Bari,
Dinka, Nuer, Shilluk and others—first entered South Sudan sometime before the
10th century. During the period from the 15th to the
19th centuries, tribal migrations, largely from the area of
Bahr el Ghazal, brought the Anyuak Dinka, Nuer and Shilluk to their modern locations of both
Bahr El Ghazal and
Upper Nile Regions, while the, Acholi and Bari settled in
Equatoria.
The
Bantu people of South Sudan are—the
Azande,
Mundu,
Avukaya and
Baka people Azande people, who entered South Sudan in the
16th century, established the region's largest state of Equatoria
Region.
The Azande are the third-largest ethnic group in South Sudan while the Bari are fourth-largest. They are found in the
Maridi, Yambio, and Tombura districts in the tropical rain-forest belt of
Western Equatoria, the Adio of Azande client in Yei,
Central Equatoria and
Western Bahr el Ghazal. In the 18th century, the Avungara sib rose to power over the rest of Azande society and this domination continued into the
20th century. Geographical barriers prevented the spread of
Islam to the southerners, thus enabling them to retain their social and cultural heritage, as well as their political and religious institutions.
Slavery had been an institution of Sudanese life throughout history. The slave trade in the south intensified in the
19th century and continued after the
British had suppressed slavery in much of sub-Saharan Africa.
Annual Sudanese slave raids into non-Muslim territories resulted in the capture of countless thousands of southern Sudanese, and the destruction of the region's stability and economy.
The Azande have had good relations with the neighbors, namely the Moru, Mundu, Pöjulu, Avukaya,
Baka and the small groups in Bahr el Ghazal, due to the expansionist policy of their king Gbudwe, in the 18th century. In the 19th century, the Azande fought the
French, the
Belgians and the Mahdists to maintain their independence. Egypt, under the rule of
Khedive Ismail Pasha, first attempted to control the region in the
1870s, establishing the province of Equatoria in the southern portion. Egypt's first governor was
Samuel Baker, commissioned in
1869, followed by
Charles George Gordon in 1874 and by
Emin Pasha in 1878.
The
Mahdist Revolt of the
1880s destabilized the nascent province, and Equatoria ceased to exist as an
Egyptian outpost in 1889. Important settlements in Equatoria included Lado,
Gondokoro, Dufile and
Wadelai.
European colonial maneuverings in the region came to a head in 1898, when the
Fashoda Incident occurred at present-day
Kodok;
Britain and
France almost went to war over the region. In
1947, British hopes to join South Sudan with Uganda as well as, living Western Equatoria as part of
Belgium French Congo The Democratic Republic of Congo were dashed by the Rajaf
Conference to unify
North and South Sudan.
