Detailed explanation-1: -The loss of Sudan’ territory after the independence of South Sudan has led to the loss of over 70% of oil fields. As such, the freedom of South Sudan did not only result into loss of territory for Sudan, but also the loss of most of its oil revenues leading to hostility between the two Sudans.
Detailed explanation-2: -History of the conflict in South Sudan South Sudan gained independence in July 2011, after over 20 years of civil war. The optimism that greeted the country’s birth was shattered in 2013 when political disagreement within the ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) plunged the country into conflict.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oil has long been one of the central drivers of conflict between the two Sudans. After independence, that conflict was heightened since about 75 percent of Sudan’s oil is produced below the border that now separates the two countries, leaving the North with greatly reduced revenues.
Detailed explanation-4: -In December 2013, following a political struggle between Kiir and Machar that led to Machar’s removal as vice president, violence erupted between presidential guard soldiers from the two largest ethnic groups in South Sudan.
