Government of South Sudan

The Government of South Sudan is the governing body of the Republic of South Sudan, a country that gained independence in 2011. It is currently newsworthy due to allegations of violence and instability within its borders. Recent reports indicate a deadly attack on a gold mine in Khor Kaltan, near Juba, resulting in at least 73 deaths. The government has announced an investigation into the incident. Furthermore, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has accused the government of carrying out an air strike on one of its hospitals in South Sudan, amid renewed fighting with opposition forces in Jonglei state. The UN reports that 280,000 people have been displaced in Jonglei. These events highlight the ongoing challenges the government faces in maintaining security and stability, and raise concerns about human rights and the protection of civilians in the conflict-affected areas.
