Causes of Problems & Power Struggles in South Sudan

The intricate power dynamics at play between President Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar created a pernicious environment where inter-tribal tensions were skillfully exploited. The escalation of this volatile situation was exacerbated by the leadership's inability to adeptly navigate disagreements and address the diverse needs of the population. While tribalism may indeed have played a role, it is fundamentally a symptom of a deeper, overarching issue: the absence of capable leadership and a prioritization of personal power over the nation's security and progress.
