Foreign Policy of American Towards the Republic of South Sudan

Abstract

The US policy passed the direction of southern Sudan in the first two stages before the separation from the motherland Sudan and the establishment of the State of Southern Sudan. The most important issue at this stage was the civil war between the north and south of Sudan. The US administrations decided their position from the beginning. Has exerted political and economic pressure on the Sudanese government, has been affected by the US policy towards the south of Sudan by many factors, especially stemming from the US home because of the role played by The Christian Right, and groups of African descent, especially within Congress, which have succeeded in turning it into an internal public opinion issue. This was an important reason for US administrations to sympathize with South Sudan, which coordinated its efforts with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) These efforts led to the conclusion of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, also known as the Naivasha Agreement, which ended the civil war. The regional and international consensus led to the success of the secession after the referendum on the right to self-determination, which resulted in the Republic of South Sudan.
