Abstract

Constitutional provisions are not upheld in practice, breeding tensions and disaffection among the citizenry of South Sudan, where warlords are rewarded and dubbed as freedom fighters at the expense of participatory civilian structures. The functions and objectives of federalism must be spelled out clearly in a permanent constitution by the Government of South Sudan (GoSS). Observed militarization of the public service, ethnic favouritism in public appointments, and development marginalization of regions all violate the foundations of a human rights-based approach to inclusive governance and political stability.
