Abstract
The study aimed at the role played by United States of America in South Sudan Conflicts. Their
main aim was to find ivory, slave, gold and other minerals, which were very useful in the Arab
peninsula and to the Europeans. Arab invaders met a lot of resistance from the Nuba and Funj,
who were at the time the inhabitants of Nmihern Sudan and rule there today. After many years of
war between them, they signed agreements which allowed both sides to coexist in the Notih,
(Deng 1995, p.9). Sudan faced her first civil war in 1955, a few months before the British
depmiure (Deng, 1995; Wai, 1973).
The study used descriptive case study research design which used both the quantitative and
qualitative methods of data collection and the established sample size was I 06 respondents from
population of 145 and this was enough guide in effective data collection on the topic under
study. The researcher first obtained a letter of introduction from the university, assigning her to
the field which she used to erase suspicion by the respondents.
From the findings the peace keeping to be resolved requires more appropriate means like
resources to use however in regards to the situation, there were not available at the time therefore
the table above indicate that most respondents 20(19.8%) agree that Resource scarcity and
competition as a cause of conflicts, this makes the situation to worsen 21(19.8%) Disagree with
it and 42(39.6%) Strongly agree with the statement. This implied that respondents feel that
Resource scarcity and competition as a cause of conflicts.
In conclusion and recommendation the USA recent engagement in South Sudan has in some
ways contributed positively to peace. For example, there clearly has been effective co-ordinated
diplomacy to support the emergence of a fragile peace from decades of war. However, the
emerging lessons from the CPA period suggest much that could be done to respond better to
conflict in Sudan and South Sudan.
Promote sustainable community development and economic revitalization: where progress in
conflict management is evident and where peace agreements remain intact, provide more
resources for participatory community development, create peace situations and provide food for-
work and food-for-training assistance.
