The conflict between Northern and Southern Sudan is known as the longest war in Africa. Six and half years after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Nairobi in January 2005, South Sudan became the youngest country in the World on July 9th 2011, after a referendum.
In 2013, South Sudan plunged into warfare two years after its independence from Sudan as a political dispute between President Kiir and then vice-president Riek Machar erupted into armed conflict.
A peace agreement was signed in Ethiopia in August 2015 but fell apart a year later after clashes broke out between government forces and rebels.
