The Horrors of South Sudan’s War: Why Children Like Alfred Suffer South Sudan’s history is marked by brutal conflict and unimaginable human suffering. Since independence in 2011, the nation has endured repeated civil wars, ethnic massacres, and attacks on civilians. Hospitals and schools — lifelines for communities — have been bombed, leaving millions without access to basic care. In May 2025, a bombing destroyed the only hospital serving 110,000 people in Fangak County ( Reuters ). Reports from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum document widespread atrocities, including killings, sexual violence, and forced displacement. For thousands of children, this means living with the trauma of violence — and for some, like Alfred, life-threatening injuries that require urgent surgical care.
