Until 2011, what is now South Sudan formed the southern portion of the country of Sudan.
The people of the south were mainly from African cultures who tended to adhere to Christian or traditional African religions. The north’s population was predominantly Arab and Muslim. The people of the south were long at odds with Sudan’s authoritarian government, which was controlled by Muslim Arabs from the north. The country was wracked by two long civil wars—in 1955–72 and 1983–2005—fought between southern rebels and the government. The wars led to famine in the south and the displacement of millions of people.
