60 ethnic groups, dominated by Dinka who surround Nuer
- Kiir + Macker exploit ethnic differences political conflict -> armed forces
-landlocked
-42 life expectancy
-8 million at risk of food insecurity

Question 2

role of the UN

Answer 2

• reinforced UNMISS 2014 = large scale to support govt. in peace consolidation + economic dev.
• created of POC camps in 6 different locations ( largest= Bent 120,000 people) to form safer communities (access to healthcare + food)
  -> limited famine => increase ST stability -> decrease chance of disease + starvation => decrease death rates
  -> LT reliance issues
  -> land taken away from SS

UN REFUGEE AGENCY: got govt. to sign international intervention concerning laws on refugee protection, increases co-od -> nation-building possible

Question 3

role of the SS govt.

Answer 3

-failure to protect citizens + break treaties => lack control to bring stability e.g. refuse representatives from travelling to Addis Ababa to participate in plus peace process

-unable to deal with human rights violations

small actions but LT unable to solve sovereign challenges

most potential but LEAST EFFECTIVE due to poor flows of ideas

Question 4

NGOs (500 of them)

Answer 4

= HUMANITARIAN + DEVELOPMENT NEEDS, CO-OP WITH UN

• UN food aid= decrease effects of famine but inefficiency in drop zones and have to walk for miles to reach
  = ST relief for vulnerable residents, limited scale
  = negative economic impact for local farmers as losses place in market -> increase inequality gap
• GESS FUNDED 4000 SCHOOLS (putting 200,000 girls into education) = LT social benefits as helps overcome poverty barrier
  = scale limitations as can’t help all 2.3million IDs + aimed for at LT dev. rather than ST fighting need
  -restricted by conflict due to routinely attacks (distrust with communities)
  -transport routes in Upper Nile blocked by conflict => aid/medicines not getting to people that most need it => still instability

Question 5

social secondary impacts

Answer 5

70% CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM MALNUTRITION

55% FOOD INSECURITY = MAJOR LT IMPACT

-> famine as violence destroyed crops + forced the displacement of people (taking them away from their land) Also difficult to deliver food

POC meant to be St as expensive bu have turned LT due to dependency, locals fear to go back to their communities => can’t go back to farm + make an income
