Rosenkrieg am Ende einer Zwangsehe -- Die Entwicklungen im Sudan nach der Unabhängigkeit des Südsudan.

South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in July 2011. While the people in both Sudan and South Sudan thought that a kind of peace dividend would lead to an improvement of their lives, these hopes have not been fulfilled. The bilateral relationship is all but good, and solutions for contentious issues like borders, citizenship and the status of Abyei are still pending. Despite separation and a "War of the Roses", Sudan and South Sudan are still bound by mutual economic and social ties. Furthermore, both countries have to cope with home-grown problems and fierce economic situations due to their oil export dependence and the resulting abilities to block each other's oil extraction or transportation.
