South Sudan’s fragile peace at risk amid leadership tensions, economic collapse

In South Sudan’s capital, ordinary citizens gather over tea, voicing fears that renewed tensions between President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Riek Machar could reignite civil war. With Machar under house arrest amid rebellion accusations, political uncertainty stifles the economy—civil servants earn less than $10 monthly. Regional mediators scramble to prevent conflict, wary of spillover effects in neighbouring countries. The fragile 2018 peace deal teeters as memories of past wars linger. Despite surface calm in Juba, stagnant salaries and stalled businesses reveal deepening strain. East African bloc IGAD pushes dialogue, fearing fresh displacement or armed groups. For now, hope hangs on diplomacy, but the tea-shop talk is of war.
