South Sudan must not go down the drain.

Having got independence in 2011, South Sudan is the world's newest republic. It was formed after more than 50 years of strife with it's neighbor, Sudan. It's leader, Salva Kiir, took over from the liberation hero John Garang after his death. 

However, like many post colonial African countries, South Sudan quickly disintegrated into civil strife. The President, Salva Kiir, and his erstwhile opponent Riek Machar, have just made peace after their fall out in 2013 resulted into a civil war. They even went to the pope to be prayed for. There respective tribes, the Dinka and the Nuer, are yet to reconcile as they jostle for power.
