#1 Unity in South Sudan has been since 1950 a tenuous thing. Reality noow requires that the region be split into three states: Bahr al-Ghazal (ethnic Dinka), Eastern (Nuer, Shilluk), and Equatoria (various tribes that want nothing to do with either Dinka or Nuer). Without some territorial resolution the bloodletting will continue ad nauseum.

The impression I have is that separately each is too small to stand alone, never mind against a rambunctious Sudan; and clearly together they are unable to stand against a rambunctious Sudan because they will not stand together. Perhaps it is time to consider uniting each third with a neighbour big enough to stand again Sudan, rather than continue pointlessly pursuing independence.
