SSUDAN-UNREST

A mentally unstable inmate sits on February 19, 2014 shackled to a tree in the courtyard of the central prison in Rumbek, within Lakes state, South Sudan, at dinner time during a visit by a psychiatrist from the Germany-based humanitarian organisation, Sign of Hope (Hoffnungszeichen). Independent for nearly three years as of mid-last December when South Sudan fell into wide-spread, deadly ethnic violence the shortlived peace is seen to be sacrificed at the altar of a corrupt albeit fledgling government. Influenced principally by the two largest ethnic groups, Dinka and Nuer respectively, also traditionally fierce rivals -- government efforts to contain simmering intercommunal resentment, led to rifts within the ruling SPLM, according to US special envoy to Sudan and South Sudan, Donald Booth.
