The Republic of South Sudan, a landlocked country in northeastern Africa, gained independence from Sudan in 2011. To the east is Ethiopia, to the south are the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and Uganda, to the west is the Central African Republic, and to the north is Sudan. Contains the vast Sude swamp formed by the White Nile River. At present, the capital is the largest city in Juba. In the future, it is planned to move the capital to Ramsel, which is relatively central. The territory of modern South Sudan and the Republic of Sudan was originally occupied by the Mohammed Ali dynasty of Egypt, and later became the British-Egypt co-administration of Sudan. After the independence of the Republic of Sudan in 1956, it became a part of it and was divided into 10 southern provinces. After the first civil war in Sudan, Southern Sudan gained autonomy from 1972 to 1983. The second Sudanese civil war broke out in 1983, and in 2005 the "Comprehensive Peace Treaty" was signed and the autonomous government of Southern Sudan was established. In 2011, the South Sudan independence referendum was passed with 98.83%. The Republic of South Sudan declared its independence at 0:00 on July 9, 2011. The heads of state or government representatives of 30 countries participated in the independence celebration ceremony of the Republic of South Sudan. UN Secretary General Pan Kiwen also participated in the inauguration ceremony. On July 14, 2011, the Republic of South Sudan officially joined the United Nations and became a member of the United Nations. Currently, it is also a member of the African Union and the East African Community. In July 2012, the Geneva Convention was signed. After the independence of South Sudan, there are still fierce internal conflicts. Since 2014, the score of the Fragile States Index (formerly the Failure State Index) has been the highest in the world. South Sudan covers an area of nearly 620,000 square kilometers, with Sudan to the north, Ethiopia to the east, Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, and Central Africa to the west. Republic. South Sudan is roughly located south of the latitude of 10 degrees north latitude (the capital Juba is located at 10 degrees north latitude), and its terrain is dominated by tropical rain forests, grasslands and swamps. The annual rainfall in South Sudan ranges from 600 to 2,000 millimeters. The rainy season is from May to October each year. As the White Nile River flows through this area, the slope is extremely small, only one-thirteen thousandths, so it comes from Uganda and Ethiopia Two floods reached this area. The flow slowed down and it flooded, forming a large swamp ─ ─ Sude Swamp. The local Nilotic people moved to the highlands before the rainy season. They must wait for the flood to recede before they move from the highlands to the highlands. River banks or depressions with water. The black Nile is half farming and half herding. The agriculture is mainly cassava, peanut, sweet potato, sorghum, sesame, corn, rice, cowpea, beans and vegetables[15]. The most important animal husbandry is cattle, because there are few forests in this area. And there is a half-year drought, which is not conducive to the development of tsetse flies. Therefore, South Sudan is an important cattle producing area. In addition, there are many fish production. The plateau area where the White Nile River flows through forms the Sude Swamp, which is one of the main wetlands in Africa. During the rainy season, the area of the swamp can reach more than 51,800 square kilometers. , Nearby tribes will use reeds to make floating islands, and temporarily live and fish on the floating islands to form a floating fishing camp. In addition, the annual flooding of the White Nile River is also very important for the restoration of pastures where the tribes graze their cattle. There are South National Park, Badingiro National Park, and Poma National Park in the territory. The triangle of Namoruyang in southeastern South Sudan bordering Kenya and Ethiopia is a disputed land. It is now under the jurisdiction of Kenya, but South Sudan and Ethiopia each claimed ownership of this area. |
