About
South Sudan is a country in East Africa with a complex history and ongoing humanitarian crisis. The nation has been plagued by civil war and instability since its independence from Sudan in 2011. Recently, the UN aid chief warned of a possible 'full-scale famine' due to intensifying fighting and rising humanitarian needs. Other news articles highlight the challenges faced by young South Sudanese models trying to break into the fashion industry, as well as the ongoing conflict in neighboring countries such as Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The situation in South Sudan remains dire, with thousands displaced and a lack of clear end in sight to the violence.
