South Sudan is a landlocked country located in East-Central Africa. It gained independence from Sudan in 2011 after a long civil war. The country has faced ongoing conflict and instability since gaining independence, with various ethnic and political groups vying for power. South Sudan is one of the least developed countries in the world, with high levels of poverty and violence. The economy is largely dependent on oil exports, and agriculture is the main source of livelihood for the majority of the population. Despite its challenges, South Sudan is home to a rich cultural heritage and diverse ethnic groups.
