Abstract

This paper analyzes the causes of armed ethnic conflicts in Malakal Town, Upper Nile State of South Sudan. The study identified several factors driving ethnic violence in the region, including ethnic conflicts, politically driven disputes, land ownership issues, revenge attacks, cattle rustling, and dowry-related tensions. It further revealed that political influence, marginalization, poverty, cultural practices, poor governance, and the arms trade play a significant role in perpetuating these conflicts. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and security agencies, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying causes to promote long-term peace and stability in the area.
