South Sudan

Where the only thing more abundant than oil is conflict.

South Sudan: Where the phrase "goodbye" is just a formality, and "see you later" is a lie.

South Sudan: Where the national pastime is not soccer, but rather dodging bullets.

South Sudan became the world's youngest sovereign state when it gained independence in 2011.

The country is home to the Sudd, one of the largest wetlands in the world and the largest freshwater wetland in the Nile basin.
