Southern Sudan Autonomous Region (2005–11)
Southern Sudan
(
Ḥukūmatu Janūbi s-Sūdān
) was an
autonomous region
consisting of the ten southern
states
of
Sudan
between its formation in July 2005 and independence as the
Republic of South Sudan
in July 2011. The autonomous government was initially established in
Rumbek
and later moved to
Juba
. It was bordered by
Ethiopia
to the east;
Kenya
,
Uganda
, and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo
to the south; and the
Central African Republic
to the west. To the north lies the predominantly
Arab
and
Muslim region
directly under the control of the central government. The region's autonomous status was a condition of a
peace agreement
between the
Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement
(SPLA/M) and the Government of Sudan represented by the
National Congress Party
ending the
Second Sudanese Civil War
. The conflict was
Africa
's longest running
