Friday marks 10 years since South Sudan gained independence to become the world’s youngest nation – yet few citizens are rejoicing.

Over the past 10 years, the oil-rich country has been mired in fighting that killed nearly 400,000 people, engrained corruption and a deteriorating humanitarian crisis, while a fragile peace deal hangs by a thread.

“After 10 years of independence, South Sudan’s population doesn’t have much to celebrate,” said Joshua Craze, a research fellow at the London School for Economics who has worked in South Sudan since 2008. “Those hopeful expectations of life in the new state have only delivered for South Sudan’s elite, which has entrenched itself atop the rest of the country,” he added.

Hopes were high in 2011 when after decades of war with the north, the southern South voted overwhelmingly to secede. Salva Kiir, a former rebel leader, was sworn in as South Sudan’s first president, with Riek Machar, another rebel leader, as his deputy. Many South Sudanese who had fled, returned, while the international community poured millions of dollars into propping up the new government.

Governance is not a miracle, it is a process

Some useless people will always use South Sudan as a test case for the Biafran movement.

Nonsense! How can you compare South Sudanese with the ever Resilience, ever rugged and ever hard working Biafrans blessed with both human and natural resources? If you think Igbos will suffer when Nigeria breaks, join the movement for Biafran restoration. Shebi you have always wished them to suffer?

Nobody need to fight war to break up

South Nigeria

Doesn't invalidate the Biafra struggle as many cretins will have us believe.

For every South Sudan there's a Singapore, Belgium, Norway etc etc

Secessionist agitations are treated on a case to case basis. Not one size fits all.

Anything is better than living under Islamic tyranny !!

Absolutely not true. US started enjoying after the second World war. After the war, the World economy fell in their hands, more powerful countries mostly in Europe were submerged paving ways for US to grow
