In late 2015, conflict erupted in the former Western Equatoria state as South Sudan’s civil war shifted from its primary Greater Upper Nile theatre into other regions. A new report from the Small Arms Survey examines the conflict as it has played out in Western Equatoria, including the involvement of militias that evolved from community defence militias, and situates these developments in the broader context of the national crisis, which continues up until today. The heavy focus on Juba politics during the implementation of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (ARCSS) has overshadowed the effects of the accord in rest of the country—including unrest stemming from the contested inclusion of other armed groups in the agreement. In the case of Western Equatoria, aspects of the ARCSS’s security arrangements accelerated mobilization into a national opposition army. However, security elements of the government have forcefully resisted these opposition elements, sparking conflict and widening the national crisis. The multiple conflicts in Western Equatoria are examples of the political opposition’s increasing militarization outside of Greater Upper Nile.
