NATIONWIDE: South Sudan’s Struggle with Small Arms
Episode 3074
Published 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
South Sudan remains flooded with small arms and light weapons, a legacy stretching from colonial times, through decades of civil war, and into the more recent conflicts of 2013 and 2015. These weapons continue to shape daily life, fueling insecurity and threatening peace.
In this episode, we examine how the proliferation of arms began, its impact on society, and possible solutions. Joining me in the studio is Dr. Malakal Dual Gar, political analyst, author, and senior lecturer at the University of Juba.
