The First Violent Spillover: Sudan’s War Ignites Violence in South Sudan

  • Jan Pospisil

Research output: Practice-Based and Non-textual ResearchWeb publication/site

Abstract

In this blogpost, Jan Pospisil delves into the recent outbreak of anti-Sudanese riots in South Sudan, sparked by reports of violence in Wad Madani, Sudan.
He examines the complex interplay of social media influence, socio-economic struggles, rising anti-foreigner sentiment, and political dynamics that have fuelled the unrest.
Pospisil further explores the broader implications of the riots for Sudanese-South Sudanese relations and the fragile stability of post-conflict South Sudan.
