South Sudan's Internal Challenges...

...well some of them.  

The following are all links to pieces that begin to give a picture of the difficulties facing South Sudan.   

This opinion piece from the Winnipeg Free Press makes a case for a long road ahead for the South Sudanese.

And this piece from the UN News Centre does the same. 

The next two pieces addresses issues with the health system, or lack of one. This first link is from January 2011 from the PBS Newshour. And this second link is from Radio Dabanga just this week. 

This is a great article from an organization called Act for Peace that talks about the agonies women suffered during wartime in Sudan, and about the lack of rights they suffer still. But also about how important the women's vote was during the referendum and how that is empowering women. And this article from Rebuild Sudan about the challenge and importance of promoting women's participation in the new government. 

And finally today, this article from the Unicef website looks at many issues in the context of South Sudan’s children. And, we'll have more about that in the next few weeks.
