The role of the media in post conflict peace building: post independent South Sudan

Abstract

Conflict has existed in Sudan for several decades and due to this, millions of people have been displaced from their homes. Sudan has always been on focus in the world's media, with raging wars pre-dating the country's independence. The primary parties in the civil war were the government of Sudan (GoS) and the Southern People Liberation Army (SPLA) and after over two decades of fighting, the conflict came to an end in 2005 with the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).
