Additional Information / Shotlist On 9 July 2021, South Sudan marked 10 years of independence. This significant milestone of 10 years of independence in South Sudan is marred by the bloody legacy of its first decade; including a five-year civil war and continued intercommunal violence and insurgent fighting. MSF has been present in southern Sudan since 1983. Following independence in 2011, MSF has responded to most of South Sudan's humanitarian and medical crises, frequently witnessing the impact of extreme acts of violence including; violence against civilians, ethnically-motivated killings, abuses and sexual violence. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and millions have been forced from their homes, as refugees in neighbouring countries and as internally displaced people living in overcrowded camps, with host families, or left to fend for themselves. A new MSF report, South Sudan at 10: an MSF record of the consequences of violence, offers a consolidated account of MSF’s experience in South Sudan since 9 July 2011. In so doing, it seeks to serve as a record and reminder of the human toll of violence, since independence, as seen by MSF – through its staff and patients.
