What is South Sudan
South Sudan is the youngest country to be a member of the UN. It won independence from Sudan, which had exploited its oil resources, in 2011 after a decades-long rebel battle with Khartoum that resulted in thousands of casualties. In 2013 and 2016 There were outbreaks of internal civil war in the country, which were resolved by 2020 through the mediation of the UN. According to the World Bank, 80.2% of the country’s population lives below the poverty line. In 2023, about 9.4 million people, or 76% of the population, will need humanitarian assistance, which is half a million more than in 2022.
