“How Did the Violence in South Sudan Begin?” (by Jok Madut Jok)

January 5, 2014

Jok Madut Jok, co-founder of the Sudd Institute, provides our first substantial, detailed, and persuasive account of outbreak of violence in Juba (Sudd Institute Issue Brief, January 4, 2014):

Jok has been in Juba throughout the time of recent events, and clears away much misreporting and misrepresentation.  He is especially compelling in his account of Riek Machar and his ambitions.
