Southern Sudan: The New Regional Player

Great Lakes Policy Forum

The creation of the new state of Southern Sudan introduces a new player to Central Africa, shifting the regional dynamics in the Great Lakes region. Potential flash-points over water and oil rights, refugees, and the movements of the Lord's Resistance Army will be affected by the new government in Juba and the requisite changes in Khartoum. How will this new state impact its neighbors to the south and how should policy makers prepare for these changes?
