In 2018, Salva Kiir and Riek Machar signed a peace agreement, which aimed to end the 5-year civil war and prepare the path towards reconciliation. This latter issue is essential in order to build a solid institutional structure for the country, which not only faces the remains of the civil war but also has to deal with the climate change, seasonal floods and regional instability. Even worse, intercommunal violence has not stopped since 2018’s agreement and is still a big threat to the peace process of the world’s newest country.
