self-declared President and Seleka rebel leader,
Michel Djotodia. In protest, Anti-balaka retaliated,
leading to a religious-motivated conflict which
forced Djotodia to resign and disband the Seleka
Coalition. Despite this, members of the former
Seleka Coalition mounted counterattacks - killing
and displacing thousands of citizens. Today the
country remains embroiled in chaos and ongoing
violence.
In December 2013, following the removal of Vice
President, Riek Machar, violence erupted between
presidential soldiers from South Sudan’s two largest
ethnic groups. Soldiers from the Dinka ethnic group
aligned with President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir
Mayardit, and those from the Nuer ethnic group
supported Machar. In the midst of evolving violence,
Kiir accused Machar of attempting a coup -
prompting violence to spread to Jonglei, upper Nile,
and Unity states. During the conflict, armed groups
targeted civilians on ethnic grounds committing:
rape and sexual violence, the destruction of
property and looting of villages, and recruitment of
child soldiers. Despite a peace agreement being
signed in 2018 - the country remains highly volatile
with fears South Sudan is on the brink of further
civil war.
