On 9 July 2011 South Sudan declared independence and, less than a week later, became the 193rd Member State of the United Nations on 14 July 2011. South Sudan: Before the Secession, a new photo essay published on the Small Arms Survey website, captures some of the turmoil and pain that local communities experienced prior to and during the January 2011 referendum, which paved the way for the secession. With support from the Small Arms Survey’s Sudan Human Security Baseline Assessment (HSBA) project, photographer Trevor Snapp travelled to South Sudan to document armed violence and the proliferation of small arms and traditional weapons in the region. The photos provide a glimpse of some of the difficulties in administering the war-ravaged and impoverished region, showing the culture of violence and retribution that has infused local communities as they struggle to survive. <http://www.smallarmssurvey.org/about-us/multimedia/photo-essay-south-sudan-overview.html> - View the photo essay: www.smallarmssurvey.org/about-us/multimedia/photo-essay-south-sudan-overview.html - For more information on the situation in Sudan visit the HSBA website: www.smallarmssurveysudan.org --- If you want to unsubscribe from this mailinglist, please go to this link : http://mailing.smallarmssurvey.org/unsubscribe.php -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JFD info" group.
