Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work, carried out prior to the creation of The Republic of South Sudan, focuses on the Christian perspective of reconciliation and peace in South Sudan. In a country gripped in what was set to be, until recently, Africa’s longest running civil war the Sudanese state had been, on many occasions, inherently unjust, repressive, and extremely violent against sections of its own citizens resulting in long lasting conflict and war. This conflict stretches deep into the history and geography of the region. This study investigates people’s views and trends to find out whether the end of hostilities would mark the end of interpersonal, group, tribal, and interethnic conflict created by the war. It asks, are people ready to forgive those who have wronged them during the war without demanding justice? What would constitute true peace in Sudan? Do the church and the government in Sudan each have a role in bringing sustainable peace? Findings of the research show an overwhelming desire for reconciliation and peace but with very different ways of reaching it. It is however recognized that to constitute true peace in South Sudan there is need for equality and justice, observation of the law, democratic governance, complete transformation, equitable distribution of resources and services, and freedom of worship. For this to be achieved both the church and government must play critical roles. Memories of the war are still fresh in people’s minds. The government must recognize the trauma people have suffered, deal with the roots of the conflict and address the crimes committed so that wounds inflicted can be healed and people can then live harmoniously. The church must teach people the biblical understanding of peace and reconciliation through repentance and forgiveness so that peace can have true meaning.

This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quest for good leadership in most African countries remains on the increase especially as conflicts of different kind looms and posing an untold human suffering, undermining social and economic development, and breaking social fabrics and social co-existence. Conflicts are the most responsible factors in the underdevelopment of both physical and mental infrastructure in many countries in Africa. South Sudan is not exceptional as it has been going through a protracted bloody armed conflict with its Northern neighbor the Republic of Sudan for over two decades leading to over 2.8 million people killed and many others were displaced both internally and externally as refugees in the neighboring countries of Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Central African Republic, Chad, Eretria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. South Sudan however, signed a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which provided for a self determination of South Sudan through a referendum and slightly over two years ago, 98% of the population of South Sudan voted for the separation of the South from the North and became an independent Republic of South Sudan. Since its inception the Republic of South Sudan has been faced with adverse severe conflicts ranging from tribal, armed and political.

Download or read book The State of Peacebuilding in Africa written by Terence McNamee and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book on the state of peacebuilding in Africa brings together the work of distinguished scholars, practitioners, and decision makers to reflect on key experiences and lessons learned in peacebuilding in Africa over the past half century. The core themes addressed by the contributors include conflict prevention, mediation, and management; post-conflict reconstruction, justice and Disarmament Demobilization and Reintegration; the role of women, religion, humanitarianism, grassroots organizations, and early warning systems; and the impact of global, regional, and continental bodies. The book's thematic chapters are complemented by six country/region case studies: The Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Sudan/South Sudan, Mozambique and the Sahel/Mali. Each chapter concludes with a set of key lessons learned that could be used to inform the building of a more sustainable peace in Africa. The State of Peacebuilding in Africa was born out of the activities of the Southern Voices Network for Peacebuilding (SVNP), a Carnegie-funded, continent-wide network of African organizations that works with the Wilson Center to bring African knowledge and perspectives to U.S., African, and international policy on peacebuilding in Africa. The research for this book was made possible by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York.
Download or read book Conflict Management and Resolution in South Sudan written by Nelson Alusala and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-08 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the main events and turning points in the building of pre- and post-independent South Sudan. It covers the historical perspectives of the country, its key political, mediation and negotiation processes, peace and security, socio-economic development, and gender, as well as conflict and reconstruction. Many African states are products of compromised peace settlements and power sharing agreements, following violent and protracted conflicts between colonial/occupying powers, armed groups and nation states. This is the same route that Africa’s youngest nation, South Sudan traversed before attaining independence in July 2011. This edited volume is an innovative collection that serves as a complete reading on South Sudan, from the pre-independent to post-independent realities of the political, military and inter-ethnic conflicts and the negotiations to resolve them. It is a step-by-step account of the major events that mark the history as well as the contemporary occurrences in South Sudan. The book offers guidance on how to sustainably end armed conflict in Africa by tackling four broad themes that include the historical analysis of the conflict, political issues, peace and security, and gender, justice and contemporary dynamics. The book presents a gendered approach to arguments, while also reflecting gender equity in terms of the book authorship. Academics, researchers and specialists in the field of conflict management and resolution as well as security studies will find this book useful.

Book excerpt: This study focuses on the Church in South Sudan. I argue that the model Church-as-Family can help the Church there to reflect on its mission of bringing lasting reconciliation, justice, and peace which can be enjoyed by the people whom it seeks to serve. The Church in Sudan focused its mission during the first two Civil Wars (1955 to 1972 and 1983 to 2005) on relief work and the accompaniment of refugees and the Internally Displaced People (IDPs). The people experienced exile because of displacement during the war. The Church endeavored to cater for the immediate needs of refugees and IDPs. The operating framework of the Church during the war period was that of a Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). This model of the Church is insufficient for the new social context of post-independence South Sudan because it treats immediate needs and suffering as symptoms. Nevertheless, this one-time intervention fails to diagnose the underlying illness, which when treated, can lead to long-term health. Therefore, for the Church in South Sudan to be truly credible to its prophetic vocation, of building the kingdom of God here and now, it needs to reassess its mission in society and move beyond being a Good Samaritan Church. During the Second Sudanese Civil War, the Church had no time for building strong ecclesial communities at the grassroots. Such communities could help build and sustain justice, reconciliation, and peace in the volatile post-war social context of South Sudan. Thus, this study proposes the model Church-as-Family as a vision for the Church in South Sudan which focuses on building strong grassroots ecclesial communities as aids toward achieving healing and reconciliation.

Download or read book Indigenous Peacebuilding in South Sudan written by Winnifred Bedigen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the indigenous peace cultures of the major ethnic groups in South Sudan (Dinka, Nuer, Anuak and Acholi) and analyses their contribution to resolving the civil war. The book utilises qualitative narrative inquiry ethnographic methods to explore the indigenous institutions and customs (customary laws, beliefs and practices) employed in resolving ethnic conflicts and argues for their application in civil war resolution. This book contributes to the decolonial literature/knowledge by discussing the subtle norms, the role of youth, women, and elders, the concepts of resilience and proximity, and their significance in peacebuilding. The book shows that for sustainable peace to happen, subtle roles and disputants' indigenous knowledge should be part of national peace negotiation strategies. This book will interest NGOs, students and scholars of indigenous knowledge, women, youth, conflict and peacebuilding, African Studies and Development in the Horn of Africa and sub-Sahara regions.
Download or read book Forging Two Nations Insights on Sudan and South Sudan written by Grawert, Elke and published by OSSREA. This book was released on 2014-03-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the papers in this book were presented during the 9th International South Sudan and Sudan Studies Conference of the Sudan Studies Association USA and the Sudan Studies Society UK. 150 scholars from numerous academic disciplines, experts in conflict transformation and development, staff of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), former and current senior officers from ministries and military institutions from Sudan, South Sudan, and seventeen further countries participated in the conference. They engaged in vivid discussions on historical and recent cleavages in the societies of Sudan and South Sudan, inequality and exclusion in numerous variations, and on rapid social change accompanied by urbanisation and land conflicts. The severe economic crisis following the separation and the importance of creating political solutions instead of using technical approaches to work on the multitude of challenges affecting each of the two countries and the interrelations between them were also scrutinised. The participants intensely exchanged views and experiences on the difficulties and successes in taking responsibility rather than being dependent on foreign assistance. Discussions revealed strong potentials in both societies to overcome such problems; to initiate processes of reconciliation, and to consolidate peace. They shed light on the complex processes of nation-building and the creation of meaningful constitutions. This book attempts to capture at least some of this multitude of insights and aspects that had shaped the conference.
