This article explores the legacy of the North–South war in Sudan on the security dynamics of the nation. The war reinforced deep-seated ethnic divisions in the region. Although the civil war ended in 2005 and the South attained independence in July 2011, cracks capable of threatening the stability of the new state have emerged.

The author makes several recommendations in order to achieve progress.
