South Sudan’s ruling elites rely on instability for survival

South Sudan’s slide toward yet another civil war will not be the result of state weakness alone. It will be the inevitable byproduct of a political order that survives by keeping the country unsettled. Since independence in 2011, the promise of elections, a permanent constitution, and a unified state has been endlessly deferred. These delays are often framed as technical problems or security concerns. In reality, they form a governing method. Instability is not a failure of elite rule in South Sudan; it is the operating system.
