Security of Internally Displaced Persons in South Sudan

The Washington-based Stimson Center published in September 2014 a study titled "Perceptions of Security among Internally Displaced Persons in Juba, South Sudan" by Aditi Gorur.  The Stimson Center  conducted seven focus groups among internally displaced persons (IDPs) at a UN shelter inhabited by members of the Nuer tribe in the capital city of Juba.  The study concluded that these IDPs believe it will be a long and difficult process to change security conditions in the country to the point where they feel they can return home safely.
