This Working Paper reviews the history of proxy fighting in the South and the fragmentation of Southern Sudan’s armed groups during the 1990s. It highlights key sources of insecurity as of late 2009, identifying the actors involved and setting these against the historical backdrop of the South’s numerous 'interlocking' wars. Finally, it highlights Sudan’s lack of cohesion and uncertain, even bleak, future if the necessary steps are not taken to stabilize it.
