This report examines the political, economic, and social situations of North and South Sudan after the partition of July 2011. Though the secession of South Sudan is no longer being forcefully opposed by the North, a number of combustible issues between the 'two Sudans' remain unresolved, including the region of Abyei, border demarcation, oil revenue sharing, debt liabilities and citizenship/residency arrangements. Since partition there has been an escalation of conflict and insecurity on both sides of the North-South border, accompanied by an intensifying humanitarian crisis.
