There are two things that never go together: conflict and development, whether economic or social development. When people are fighting, they undermine each other's effort. Conversely, people with the same aspirations harmonize their efforts, leading to synergy. The result is expansion of existing opportunities to benefit more people and creation of opportunities where none existed. That is why the reconciliation of the Dinka and the Nuer is what matters most in South Sudan today.Hostilities involving these two communalities started when the country was under British rule but, unfortunately, continued even after South Sudan became independent. Over time, what was an ethnic issue has affected other communities, degenerating into a national problem. Moreover, if ignored, the conflict looks poised to split the country, with some of the peaceful communities seeking autonomy to form a nation of their own or annexing themselves to a strong third party.But in this book, the author also lists a host of benefits that could accrue from the recon-ciliation of the two communities. These include economic benefits, political benefits, social benefits and an improved image in the global community.

Akuch Kuol Anyieth is a graduate researcher completing a PhD in the discipline of Crime, Justice and Legal Studies at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Her research interests broadly cover masculinity, domestic violence, and the law. She has a Bachelor of Legal Studies, Master of Justice and Criminology, and Master by Research. Her work weaves together South Sudanese customary laws, pre-post migration experiences of South Sudanese families and their adaptation of the western rules of law in the diaspora. She has worked within the criminal justice system, government organisations and non-government organisations for the last 10 years. Akuch's work, lived experience, and research reveals many issues that face South Sudanese families that are often not included and rarely considered within family violence studies. Akuch's unique position as a South Sudanese woman writing about South Sudanese challenges in the diaspora brings an original contribution to existing literature on family violence and South Sudanese traumatic history. The many dimensions that contribute to experiences of family crisis (violence in families) including the historical context of South Sudanese men pre-and post-migration are core discussion points in this book. South Sudanese Manhood and Family Crisis in the Diaspora illuminates the past, critiques the present and offers an unequalled vision for a way forward into the future.

This book is about the genesis and struggle of the people of Southern Sudan in order to be free to determine their destiny as symbolized by the armed struggle against the Sudanese government. It follows the development of the freedom fighters from small groups fighting in their localities, through to the coalescence into the Anya-Nya in 1963 and up to the unity of command in 1970. It also deals with how the Simba rebellion in the Congo contributed towards the acquisition of arms by the rebels. The role of the state of Israel in supporting the struggle is also dealt with. The book considers as well the impact of the developments of events in Khartoum and the changes of the governments there in the period 1958 -1972 on the struggle of the Anya-Nya. The basic information used in writing the book was provided by many of the leaders who led this struggle including officers who took part in some of the military engagements covered. The book is therefore an important contribution to the history of the Anya-Nya in Southern Sudan based on information from eye-witnesses and actors in the struggle.
