    The Spin

    Pro-establishment narrative

    Government and military leaders in South Sudan continue to be named as human rights violators, yet no one in the country is held accountable. The UN is right in urging an immediate investigation into various officials who perpetuate cycles of violence and unlawfully kill people. South Sudan is held hostage by its authorities and must improve its human rights situation by holding war criminals accountable.

    Establishment-critical narrative

    The long-lasting chaos in South Sudan is a direct consequence of the US meddling in African affairs to create a new nation as if this move would finally solve decades of bloodbath and civil wars in the region. The US-backed project has miserably failed, causing more rifts within the nation than before the independence in 2011.
