The second edition of Peter Adwok Nyaba’s study, originally conceived and written in mid-2009, two years before the referendum on self-determination. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement provided the people of Southern Sudan their inalienable right after nearly five decades of conflict. Nyaba incisively discusses the high expectations and hopes of the people, mixed with the anxiety characterising the fluid and unpredictable interim period leading to independence in 2011. This second edition, written after the eruption of violence in December 2013, vindicates Nyaba’s earlier assessment that southern Sudan stood on the horns of a great dilemma and that its leaders stood between treason and stupidity. Nyaba’s objective is to provoke a debate on the political future of South Sudan, arguing that the SPLM top leadership is collectively responsible for what has happened to this young nation through the wilful abandonment of the ideals for which the South Sudanese sacrificed in the wars of national liberation.
