Monitoring and Early Warning of Violent Conflict in South Sudan Report #4.

Six years of conflict in the country have resulted in over 380,000 deaths, 2.5 million refugees, and nearly 2 million internally displaced people. And despite the signing of the revitalized peace agreement (R-ARCSS) in August of last year, the formation of a unity government has been delayed by six months and episodes of violence continue to flare. Last week, clashes between NAS rebels, government forces, and SPLM-IO rebels killed eight while ten people were killed in a possible revenge killing between the subclans of Gony and Thuyic.
