Interlocking Crises - Why Humanitarian Needs in South Sudan Keep Increasing: SouthSudan
Edmund Yakani, a civil society activist, said he has counted over 30 major local conflicts in recent years, of which he argues none have been properly resolved."Almost half of the country is fighting itself," Yakani told The New Humanitarian from his office in Juba.
"When a disaster involves the death of a human being, that is when we give it a name," said Matong, who is 25 and escaped to the town of Thiet along with her four children back in June."Conflict has caused havoc to my household," she added. Subnational conflicts can also reflect national divisions, since they regularly pull in government and opposition forces - the majority of whom have still not joined a unified national army, as was stipulated by the peace accord.
Still, communities do have tools to resolve conflicts and defy manipulation, said Julia Duany, a civil servant and peace activist who authored a book called Making Peace and Nurturing Life: A Memoir of an African Woman About a Journey of Struggle and Hope. Individuals and communities have well-worn ways to cope with crises, but the back-to-back floods - which followed drought events in some areas and conflicts in others - mean these systems are now breaking down.
