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.
