Abstract

The state of South Sudan is one of the countries that emerged recently, after it was an area belonging to the state of Sudan. It fought a civil war that lasted many years, which led to the martyrdom of thousands of southerners, in order to obtain their independence from the state of northern Sudan. Indeed, southern politicians were able to obtain Independence and the declaration of the state of South Sudan in July 2011. The declaration of independence was the first step for the southerners who took through it to work to prove the entity of that country through openness to African neighboring countries and establishing relations with them at all political, economic and cultural levels. Perhaps one of the most important countries that welcomed By establishing relations with the state of South Sudan, namely Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya, as these countries were working to provide support to the southerners before and after the declaration of independence, as well as the ethnic and tribal interference that links the state of South Sudan with the neighboring African countries and the common borders between them.
