South Sudan's Fateful Struggle book by Steven C. Roach

In this book, Steven C. Roach addresses the effects of the South-South war in South Sudan, showing how it has troubled the transition to statehood and the transitional government of national unity. Throughout, he stresses how the government has failed to adequately promote core standards of accountability and shows how the Sudan People's Liberation Movement remained a largely militaristic organization that dominated control of the country's political destiny and became a powerful deterrent to democracy, security, justice, and national unity. Comprehensive in scope, the book represents the first systematic examination of the foundations of South Sudan's quandary both before and after its civil war. Yet it offers hope for a moral reckoning through the promising efforts to advance hybrid justice and to pressure the government to implement a truth commission, war crimes court, and reparations commission.
