In this second edition of South Sudan: The Crisis of Infancy Peter Adwok Nyaba has incorporated the dynamics of socio-political developments in South Sudan since 2015 including an incisive and informative account of the recent ìcoup attemptî and its aftermath. Fired with passionate preoccupation to decipher the direction in which South Sudan is headed, the author harnesses his critical alertness to the political undercurrents in the country to explain from his own point of view what has happened and what did not happen in the country as South Sudan swings between peace and conflict.
