Abstract

The southern Sudan war was caused by a multiplicity of factors ranging from religion intolerance, economic agendas from the Khartoum government and outsiders, globalization as well as local ethnicity. The effects of the war have been not only sociological; they have also been physical and as economic. In relation to this, the social fabric has been torn, education halted and healthcare abandoned. Women, men and children have been killed, detained, mutilated and raped. The war has led to the loss of live hood and increased poverty. Finally, this chapter notes that the girl child has been mostly affected by the war due to their vulnerability as a disintegrated society affords them no protection. The research was purely qualitative. Desktop literature review was conducted. Critical analysis of the literature was conducted.

Key words: Factors, civil war, Southern Sudan
