The Republic of South Sudan, formed in 2011, is one of the worlds youngest countries and it neighbors it's sister, The Republic of North Sudan, and both are in a situation of turmoil as always. After two civil wars, the country of Sudan split apart after an agreement of 98% the Sudanese people to split apart and go their seperate ways. This resembles the same conflicts of North and South Korea, and Upper and Lower Egypt. Now after being formed in 2011, the republic of South Sudan is already in danger of collapse.
The United States, who has played a wife role to South Sudan, is becoming increasingly alarmed about the facts that the young Republic in South Sudan may collapse. Sudan marked a major breakthrough and chance for South Sudanese, but the developing state has remained fragile. During its first years of freedom, an oil standoff with neighboring Sudan, inter communal violence, determined rebellions, increasingly constrained political space, corruption, and limited economic chances troubled the young nation. The Vice President was almost forced into signing a treaty or a cease fire rather, until things can hopefully be solved. As of February 2014, 233,364 Sudanese were living as refugees in South Sudan. South Sudan has struggled with cyclical inter communal violence for years. Rebel militias have been operating in South Sudan for ages, beginning with the country's early civil wars and carrying through to the present. After only 3 years or so, this young Sudanese government is already in fear of crashing, which would cause many conflicts around the world, especially in the United States because they pretty much helped create the monster in their goal for “world democracy”.

If all of South Sudan and Sudan's many ethnic groups and interest groups do not manage to forge a honest national identity, which puts the national interest first, the country's could be uninviting. Both Sudan and South Sudan need to figure out a way to compromise without weapons and war, especially with so many refugees and a society in crisis besides the battle of ethnicities and politics. Finding some sort of political settlement between the warring parties will not be easy and a political deal alone will not be enough to resolve this country's problems.

The Sudan genocide, a civil war that was started in the early 1980s when drought, famine and the spread of un-arable land caused traditional African herders and Darfur citizens to argue over land.
