This issue brief analyses the roots of the armed insurgencies led by George Athor, Peter Gadet, and other Southern commanders in the wake of elections held in April 2010 - all of whom have claimed to seek systemic changes to the Juba-based government or to overthrow it. It assesses the current approach of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and the government of the Republic of South Sudan to containing them. The authors conclude that it is both ad hoc and unsustainable.
